There is a patch by DVDRick .... http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/8/146196

I have the same problem... and the link for the patch isnt working for me

**CULOKIN** · 02-13-2005,05:32 PM

Well I found the patch, at the end of the process it always says 1 file error. I believe it is working though because it takes forever, and outputs a different iso. When i try to choose that iso with dvd decrypter it says "invalid or unsupported image file format"

Since dvd decrypter wouldnt let me choose the iso, I burnt it to disc with Nero. Coaster. What do I do guys?

Well, figured it out...I tried to put the patch on an iso created from the back up. I just made an iso from the original and it patched find. Stupid me.

U should be able to boot Mercs without the patch, u just need to cogswap in a big game.

The game freezes because the swapmagic dvd isnt big enough.

U can try this too (if the other one fail u):

1. Boot Swapmagic CD v3.0 or CD v3.3:
2. Swap in Cogswap-loader (cd-r from www.swapmagicfix.com) using fliptop/slidekey or other.
3. Press x (it boots)
4. Press Eject (tray opens)
5. Insert a BIG (4,37 gb) Real ps2 game
6. Press Eject (tray closes and disc spins down)
7. Swap in Mercs-backup (dvd+-r) using fliptop/slidekey or other.
8. Press X (and it boots?)
