Swap Magic and back-ups

[zmeu]

So...after my dog totally ruined my Destroy All Humans DVD I decieded to backup all of my games use swap magic to start playing the backups and keep the originals away from the dog.

The problem is Swap magic 3.whatever says that all of my disks (CD or DVD) are not valide PS2 disks.

I used Nero to make backups of the disks.
Is there another program I should be using to get them to work?

I have heard that Alcohol 120% and DVD Decyphter can copy PS2 disks.
any recomendations would be helpful

Thanks

Alcohol or dvd decrypter will do fine along with good media.Your biggest problem is the swap magic. its not the best choice for playing backups.

ive been using swap magic for eons. i had problems at first but that was down to the tecnique used when swaping the discs.
ive used several types of blank disc from ARITA, TDK, SONY and found sony discs worked best.
make sure your using the correct swap disc ie:
C.D disc for C.Ds
DVD disc for DVDs
ive backed up destroy all humans on a sony disc and have no problems. i burn all my media with DVD Decrypter.
1 idiotic thing i used to do at first was remove the swap disc with the slide tool, replace the disc and press the eject button to close the draw. this obviously doesnt work.
(silly question?) you do have a slide tool dont you?

yep, I have the slide tool and just downloaded DVD Decyphter, will give it all a try

thanks for the help

Well to each his own but slide cards are known for screwing up the tray eject. You may be able to play backups with this method but most will tell you its crap. Considering no swap mods are now cheaper than swap magic disc I have to agree.

jcblaze001, did you not read the rules? Did you not read the part about owning the original and being allowed one and only one backup from the original??

Sorry man but we cant help you burn a backup from your friends backup. You can do one of two things here. You can heed this warning, read the rules and remain a member at File Forums. This choice offers you the opportunity to make some friends and learn something. The second choice is you can make a crappy reply like "eDRoaCH" did in one of the threads above and get banned. Its really up to you.
