LOL. Man its time for a new PS2 and no swap mod lol. Its hard to believe a v0 is still running
. I dont use Swap magic disc but i was told you dont need to patch EA games when using them. I do know some EA games hide a boot file in the pressed data of the original that cannot be copied. Usually you can find a EA patch at
www.gamefreax.de or someplace like that. Not sure if it will help or not though.
