ps2 backups that boot 100% everytime with smd and smcd

Does anybody use swap magic dvd 2.0 and swap magic cd 3.0, that games boot up 100% everytime without having to go through the swap process a few time before playing? All my games work perfect after they are finally loaded. I don't understand why if a game will boot right up the first time one time, and others it could take up to six times or something to boot? I use Verbatim dvd+r for dvd games and maxwell cd-r for cd games and cd loaders. It doesn't make sence to me, also my original games boot up fine 100%, and I clean my lens.

 

use dvd-r verbatrim discs

 

I only have a +r burner, and also the cd's I use for cd games and loaders are cd-r and they do the same thing.

 

well then too bad try sonys dvd+rs

 

where can I find sony media?

 

look on the net

 

Try using Ritek, Fujifilm, or Memorex. All those brands work flawlessly.

 

Are those in DVD+R? Do they work the same?

 

sure do

 

I backed up the suffering, using smd 2.0 and fliptop i kept getting the red border. After six failed attempts I concluded it was a bad burn, I cleaned by laser, it booted on first attempt.

I have v4 ps2, I prefer fujifilm dvd+r, I've used verbatim +r's but some games have choppy audio. I've backed up over 20 games on dvd+r and my ps2 v4 reads them all.

--clean your laser--
it makes a big difference

 

so dvd+r works fine?

 

yup

 

So you are saying that the dvd+r's boot up everytime, without having to swap more than one time? Everyone keeps telling me that ps2 like dvd-r better than +r. Also I tried Fuji,and sony dvd+r's and they work even worse than the verbatims for me.

 

what version ps2 do you have? I have a v4 and v9 and every backup loads right the first time. Maybe your laser is dirty or getting weak.

 

I have a version 7 ps2. I clean the laser regularly when it needs it. Are you using dvd+r's?

 

+ and -r memorex.
