What is the differance between pressed and burned? The difference is that a CD that you buy from a store with data on it is pressed. There are pits (holes) and lands (flat areas) these are read by your CD player as either a 1 or a 0. On a burned CD, there is a laser sensitive dye in the CD. When you 'burn' a CD, the laser in the burner changes the reflectivity of specific areas on the CD.

This approximates the pits and lands of a pressed CD. Unfortunately, the differences in reflectivity may not be as great on a burned CD versus a pressed CD. Source: Just assume that's the case for all games/CDs.

Edit, to answer my own question - I ended up purchasing the new Swap Magic version - effectively upgrading from DVD ver 2.0 to DVD ver. 3.6 w/ associated CD versions each - the compatibility on the new discs of course is MUCH better than the old version. Plenty of games that required special boot (TOC Refresh) with the old SM discs no longer require it and some games which didn't work now work great. I've got a question regarding Swap Magic discs for use with PS2. I forget what versions I have, but I have Swap Magic CD & DVD discs that I've been using with my original (large) PS2.

Select 'ISO Tools' from the tab uptop, now select 'Change TOC for Selected File', change the 'Size (dec)' to 915196, don't change the LBA. (FOR UR INFO.

I picked up the discs in 2004, so they're older than the current version of the Swap Magic discs. I recently purchased the PS2 slim SCPH-90001, installed the Magic Key and it's working great - what ease!

When I purchased the magic key (V4) I did NOT get the new versions of the swap magic discs b/c I figured that the older ones would work fine. The old ones work okay for the most part, but I'd say a good handful of games don't work on the slim ps2 with the older swap magic discs (where they worked fine on my old large ps2) For example, the CD disc doesn't work at all, and a few DVD games don't work with the DVD disc, such as FF Dirge of Cerebus and God of War II. Many games work, playing The Warriors and Shadow of the Colossus w/out a problem. So I am wondering will this problem likely be resolved if I just upgrade to the latest swap magic discs?

What's the difference between the new versions of the swap magic discs and the old ones, higher compatibility?

This way, no more swapping, and your games will play great! Okay, then I have some questions: Can FMCB be used from ps2 mem card with the newest ps2 model SCPH-9000x? I read that Sony modified the PS2 firmware for the 9000x series which means that FMCB can not be installed.

I thought that this was in reference to installing FMCB onto the PS2 itself - I didn't know that you could run FMCB from a PS2 memory card. In order for the PS2 to play burned games, don't those game ISOs (before they're burned) need to be patched so that the FMCB.ESR file (or whatever the file is that helps FMCB to play a burned ps2 game) can launch the game? Patching my games is not an option since they're all already burned to disc. It's worth mentioning that I have Swap Magic DVD v 2.00. I don't know what version of the Swap Magic CD I have, but it's equally as old. I tried burning an ISO of Swap Magic DVD v 3. Sigma Martin Guitar Serial Numbers here. 6 last night and using my 2.00 disc first, then swapping in the burned 3.6 disc - but it would not load the 3.6 disc.

Should I mess around with FMCB on my mem card, or just purchase the latest edition of the swap magic discs? Maybe that would solve the compatibility issues I am experiencing such as some DVD games not working and the Swap Magic CD loader not working at all (the ps2 recognizes it, but once swapped, the games don't load).
