Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness works great using the SWAP MAGIC TRICK + CDLoader technique.
HOW TO DO the trick with swap magic/slide card :
Load your Swap Magic CD (CD NOT DVD version!!), after it loaded, use the slide card trick
and change your Swap Magic CD with the CDLoader CD you just burned, do the trick again to
close the bay. Wait a sec. Than press X on your gamepad. Wait a moment. You will get the
main CDLoader screen if you burned it correctly. You can press "Circle" on your gamepad to
change the language to english. And/or "Square" if you need to change to NTSC.
Then press the "eject" button, replace the CD Loader CD with the Swap Magic DVD and press
eject again to close the lid. (You do not have to do the slide card trick for this one !!)
Then wait a bit till the screen changes in the left bottom from media/ps2 cd to ps2 dvd,
then press X on the gamepad.
You'll get a red nebula screen for a while, and then the text
"put in a dvdr by ea method". When you get this, use the slide card trick to remove the SM
DVD disk and put your backup from your game inside, do the slide card trick again to close
the bay.
Then press X on your gamepad to start the game.
It takes a few second to load it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It worked okay with ps2 version 7 pal EUR.
Without patching !
I used good quality Sony DVD-R 4x speed disks
for the backups of my games.
And good quality Verbatim Datalife CDR's for the making of the CDLoader disk.
