Please what i have to do for it work or what version of this game i have to download.

1. Q. How do I burn PS2 games?
A. Use DVD Decrypter. Guide: http://www.angelfire.com/games6/easytutorial/dvddec/dvddec.html Burn at 4x on an 8x DVD-R.

2. Q. Does the type of media I use matter?
A. YES: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/3/240341
If you're too lazy to read, use Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, Ritek, Sony, TDK, Maxell, Sony or Phillips DVD-R's. Avoid Memorex, Staples, Imation, Dynex, Princo, Bulqpaq, etc.

7. Q. What do I need to use Swap Magic?
A. With Slim PS2 v.12-14
Flip top: http://www.chipzone.com/installation/playstation2/fliptop-v12/pag...
Magickeys (also referred to as slide tool, slim tool or, magic switch): http://magickeys.net/
or tape and tissue mod: From Pretense: If the fliptop doesn't work, just give up on it and do a tape and tissue mod. Open up your case again and tape the back sensor (toward the upper left and beneath the hinge part of the lid) with duct tape or even regular Scotch tape (I use several layers to be on the safe side), put the case back together, and stuff a small ball of tissue into the hole for the front sensor (lower right just above the power button).

 

ok i'm having a weird problem. I downloaded the PAL solops2 version, followed all the directions for converting to NTSC, patched the DNAS, burned on a good sony dvd+r. I have swapmagic 3.6 on a v7 ps2.

the game plays fine, but if my network adapter is plugged in before booting, it locks up on a black screen during boot. if i plug the network adapter in after boot, the game wont recognize it. any ideas? I really wanna play this online

 

Never heard that one before. Did you use PAL2NTSC patcher with Y-fix or Adrenaline patcher? Whichever one you tried, try the other one.

37. Q. I downloaded a PAL game, how do I convert it to NTSC?
A. Use Adrenaline patcher if it's an EA game: http://www.megagames.com/ps2/ps2_utils_files.shtml#ADRenalin Patcher Note: I've been told this works for non EA games as well. The screen won't be perfectly centered, unless you have a modchip that forces video mode.
Or patch with PAL2NTSC patcher with Y fix for non EA games: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/121718

 

i didn't use either of those. I just followed the directions on page 7 of this thread. My system file says:

BOOT2 = cdrom0:\SWBFRNT2.ELF;1
VER = 1.01
VMODE = NTSC

the game plays 100% fine on my NTSC playstation. but it wont boot if my network adapter is plugged in.

 

I would try patching it with one of those. The screen won't be perfectly centered, but you might be able to play it online. I have very little info on how changing the video format affects you being able to play the game online. Maybe your network adapter is defective, does it work for other games?

 

Thanks to mallymmx - you are are hero

I followed your advice and after reading the complete thread - got it working no problem on PAL with slim PS2.

Thanks once again.

I am a newbie and would like to thank everyone for the input as its taken me a few days reading etc of all posts and now have a working game.

I managed to get two coasters so far - 1st attempt at battlefront 2 and then Fifa 06 - I wanted to back up my own original game - it loads initially but freezes then - any advice would be helpfull.

 

Just follow the advice I posted on this page already. Use good media. Burn with DVD Decrypter. There isn't much more to it. Are you booting games with Swap Magic or a modchip?

 

My back-up works perfect. I simply created a new ISO-file with gnies rebuilding tool and burned it with Nero(UDF)at 4x. So simple as that. It's a PAl-version.

 

Thanks guys! reading this forum I got my battlefront2 backup to play online last night! I also was able to get it to play from my Hard Drive. yeah! However, it won't do both.

It seems when I have the hard drive installed, I can't use the adaptor to play online. Does anyone know why that may be? I've heard of tons of people playing online with HDA/HDloader. What are some possibilites of why I can't play game online while using the hdAdvance?

Thanks in advance,

 

Hey so were u guys able to work battlefront 2 with swap magic 2.0, because im having the same problem burning it it is not recognized by the system. ive tried diff types of CD's and software to burn it but nothing seems to work. Would you guys mind explaining to me on newbie terms how you got it to read on the swap magic 2.0 version for PS2. Thanks alot u guys, and good luck if u havnt cracked it yet.

 

You could either try rebuilding with Expert or Using DVD Loader or Zone Loader.

11. Q. How Do I rebuild games?
A. With Nero and Isobuster (works as long as no single file is over 2 GB's): http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/197949
With CD/DVDGen: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/210515
With Expert (Gnie's new rebuilding tool):
Gnie's PS2 Auto Rebuilder Tool Download (Thanks to 3DLuis):
http://www.alucard.cc/ps2/ExPERT_v1.03.rar
Instructions to Gnie's Tool ExPERT:
From Anthony 05:
Download it and then follow these instrcutions and it will work.

1. select Shrinker_ps2_psp_CdDvd5_iso.epi on the plugins list.
2. Select the iso.
3. Click extract LBA
4. Click extract file
5. Click rebuild file
6. Click rebuild lba.

Make sure you do it in that order.

This worked for me when every other way failed.
It is very easy to do so even the noobies should be able to do it.
Keep in mind im backing up the PAL version, but if your having trouble backing up with NTSC then i dont see a problem trying.
Good luck.

12. Q. I have Swap Magic 2.0 and game X won't work, what do I do?
A. Check here to see if there's a fix: http://swapmagicfix.com

Q. Where can I find CD Loader, DVD Loader, Zone Loader, or Cogswap Loader?
A. http://swapmagicfix.com/

 

ok i am trying this gnie method right now as everything else has not worked for me so far! I hope this works

 

I tried the gneis method and i get as far as the first loading screen then it freezes this has happened with all the methods that i have tried! any help would be nice!

 

What kind of media are you using?

 

im using quite expensive imation dvd-r

 

There's your problem right there. Imation is awful. Try getting some good media like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim's from http://www.supermediastore.com

 

oh right thanks for that info. I live in the UK so i will probably go out and buy some better dvd-rs. Cheers
