    Default Help Please...

    I bought The Ultimate Swap Set Bundle at bundle at Mod-chip.com
    and I downloaded dotHack//Mutation from the BT tracker here and I unzipped it and burned it to a DVD+R with Alcohol120% and I tried it on my PS2 and I went through the normal process.
    I opened the CD/DVD tray, I putted in the Magic Swap DVD disc and let the disc start when the Swap Magic starting screen appeared and I used the slide card to take the CD/DVD tray out, then I take the swap magic disc out and then I putted the Game in and pushed the CD/DVD Tray in and used the Slide card to close it and then I pressed the X button to like start it and then I get the error message that it ain't a PS2 disc...
    What is wrong? or what am I doing wrong?

    and if I posted this in wrong section then I'm really sorry...

    Not all PS2's are DVD+R compatable but if it's reporting not PS2 disc before even hit X or [] on your Pad then the slide card isn't working because the disc is being read before you hit any buton on your PS2 pad

    Well I'm pretty sure my Slidecard is working because I can play atleast 2 burned PSX games by using it and Breaker Pro.
    But I guess that I should try to burn the game on a DVD-R

    and at what speed have you burned your image?
    A Iso must be burned 2X or 4X max.

    Hi, if you followed the Magic Swap instructions perfectly (it sounds like you did) then it could possibly be that you either burned the DVD incorrectly, or that the image had errors. I don't have Magic Swap so I can't say for sure, if it's that or not.

    Sounds like a good plan to me

    You could try some PS2 CD games aswell, not all PS2 CD images are rips there are a number of games that came on CD to start with

    Well no problem any more it was just that my PS2 could't read DVD+R, since I burned it on a DVD-R and then it worked perfectly.
    Thanks so much for the help.

    I still have 2 problems but the 1st one I know the answer to and is nothing to do about, and the second one is that I can only c black and white on the game...
