Need help with v7 ps2

[outlaw2003]

Hi,

I have a v7 ps2 and just instlaled the no solder mod the other day and also brought swap magic
I've downloaded such games as nba 2 and def jam vendetta but i am having a hard time trying to get them to work
When i get the message "insert disc" i get a red background after i put the disc in.Have i patched the game wrong?

Nba came with a PFF file and i used this program to patch the bin file.How do i burn the bin? i cant use the old cue file so can i create a new one?

For def jam i got a zip patch which inccluded a bat file to run.

If anyone has tell me what im doing wrong or point me in the right direction i would be thankful

Does it really matter using a 80min or 74 min cd?

THanks

Reagrds,
