funny this with ule and esr!!!

[mumi]

after a lot of research i think i got the long end of it.

but i found something funny.
I know that Swapmagic needs a org ps2 game to refresh TOC.
i normaly use Tekken 5 (the only org game i have :0))
then i wanted to experiment a little.
i wanted to start a game with esr (mem ver) og then Swapmagic 3.8 (on mc). NO GOOD.
i found on other threads that it not possible becouse of mem conflict or something like that.
Then i read that u can use ule to swap games.
So i did the following... start fmcb with esr(mem ver.) which loads and starts ule. I had of course a patched game in tray or else esr will not load (hint for others) then i swap the disc with any dvd i want (patched or not patched) and the game started just fine!!!
so i was apple to start normaly burned games (no esr patch).
and the funny thing is: The TOC was not importent!!!
I used 2.3 giga dvdgame (some game i had patch with esr 0.24) to load esr (mem ver.) and then swap disc using ule and start fifa 09 (no esr patch) which is almost a full dvd (less then 10 mb i think).
then i tryed with 1.7 giga dvdgame patched with esr 0.9B and loaded a non patched game "god of war" which is over 4 giga.
can anyone explain what is going on here? why is TOC not a problem here.
Becouse using this methode, i can start any game i want without any compatibility problem which esr or sm or cogswap may have... its just play the game with no homebrow software!
any info on this.

iam using ps2 v. 3000 (fat model) and memor32 mem. FMCB 1.7 and i have 120 giga hdd installed. ule v.4.30

edit: Funny "thing" and not funny "this"... sorry a mistype

I can only assume,...

I think, because the "mechacon"/cdvd-drive-cpu verifies the first disc as "Video-DVD" and maybe it doesn't handle the TOC then (...or... --> maybe it gives the handling for those discs to dvd-player - UDFIO-Part.).
I assume after you swap your discs, ESR (or ule) does refresh the "file-tree" (while mechacon still think, it is a "valid disc"/video-dvd), or it is because of how the parsing for "SYSTEM.CNF" woks.

Sorry,... Don't have an in-deep look into all. Like I said, it is only an assumption.

So,... I assume, it is because your swap-disc is a dvdv (...crazy things happend some time, back in the days, when I played with the dvd-player-upgrade... --> Reminds me to it. I didn't made such a test but it seems to match. If that is true, I might should retest the very first FMCBs and some stuff,...).

here's a funny little thing. you ever stop to think that your pirated games might be the problem be it bad rip on the original distributor, or corrupted download?

Pirated games come without ANY warranty. Which means.......
