Swap Magic 3.8 Coder

Trying to boot downloaded iso burnt at lowest speed 2x, with Nero 6.3 ultra (finilazed). Tried 3 different isos. TOC is less than 4.35 gb. Is there something that we needed to do with the isos to boot with SM3.8. I did not see any SM fixes for these titles. Getting Red screen. First shows "No Data Reading disk" screen then RSOD.

I think switch install ok as I can boot with SM with lid open, then I swap once at SM menu and hit X. Wish there was a sticky for SM users that explains what needs to be done to get started. Have been going throuh threads last 2 days, see nothing concrete. I see others had same problems with SM 3.8.

Used 2 diff media Sony DVD+RW, Memorex DVD-RW. DVD video played fine from this media.

Seeing the laser stopped on inside tracks before spin-down.

did you try to boot with "special boot" not "normal boot"? i had no problem with playing my backup game by swaping with SM 3.8 Coder.

Yes, I tried both modes. Special gives me black screen. Is there any one out there who has downloaded isos of games they own instead of backing up and what method they used.

Burn the isos with DVD Decrypter and youll be fine also i recomend using Verbatim or Imation discs, are better for ps2 games

Guy's you can not boot a downloaded, or copied Swap Magic Disc,
unless you have the original,you'll get a red screen,unable to read disc,disk error,or black screen.
no matter what media you use,but it will boot if you load the original disc,
then the back up.

there are blank spaced grooves in the original that prevents the disc from
reading the ps2 boot code,but the code can be read from he original disc.

i see tons of people downloading daily,and if they read the comments,
they would read that it simply won't boot.
