Here's how to Burn a CD game onto a DVD-R
I have been reading about multi-boot and other abilities using swap magic and cdloader and got this from a friend. He figured out how to burn PS2 CD games onto a DVD-R and get them to work with Swap Magic. Hopefully someone will also be able to get us info on how to get more than 1 CD/DVD game onto one DVD-R. Below is the tutorial on how to burn a Cd game onto a DVD-R and boot it using SM2 DVD disc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, the basics of booting a CDrom on a DVDr disk.
The idea being if you can boot 1 you can boot more than 1
I will keep this short and to the point.
This is just to show that you CAN boot CDr from DVDr

step 1

use isobuster and extract the cdrom into a temp dir on your hd.
also create a filelist in relative path mode.

step 2

use cdvdgen in DVDrom mode to rebuild the game image.
enter some random disc name & volume label under the volume tab.
Just drag/drop all the game files into the build window.
Now save a ccz and use zandals cdvdhelper to fix/sort it into lba/path order.
exit cdvdgen.

step 3
start cdvdgen and open the now fixed ccz file.

now use the "record" button and you will get an error (just ignore it) next
enter "mydvd" into the save as box, hit save and you will
get an error about not having a recorder. (ignore this) and hit OK.
Next goto the file drop down and select "export" image.
Give your game image some name "mytest" and hit ok.

cdvdgen will then generate a special iso onto your HD which just needs burning
onto a DVDr.

step 4

now just boot your dvdr containing a cdrom as per normal (ie/ swap magic dvd)

Nobody has made this work. Every couple weeks someone comes in and asks about it, and the same tired ideas get retread.

I don't want to discourage people, but just be aware that the best and brightest (well, amongst the non-coders) have tried... and failed.

Do some searching.
