backup DVD swap magic? how?

Since I can backup my games why can I not backup my SwagMagic DVD disc?

I bought it from an online place for $18 and the disc already had minor scratches and debris on the surface

Because the reason you can just play backups is that the original games are stamped with data too small for retail cd or dvd burners to imitate.

Your gonna have to live with just polishing that disc or get a real modchip.

thanks. I'm done spending money for modifications. modchips.ca didn't make it clear when I bought the $30 no-solder mod that it wouldn't work -- that I'd need to spend even more money on additional pieces

I did get a xenium modchip for my xbox though!

This is why i tell people not to buy this crap, By the time you pay for all that you could have got a no swap for 20 bucks + free shipping and spent the extra $ getting it installed. NTM the no solder and swap magic dont play all backups.
