This post covers the most common issues with SwapMagic v3.6 Discs for Playstation 2

Q: I cannot play DVD games, what can I do?

A: There are many reason causing this issue. Anyway, here are some suggestions:
1 Try to use another brand of DVD disc
2 Try to burn backup games in a lower speed (not more than 4X) which helps the readability of disc in PS2
3 Make sure you use DVD Swap Magic to boot DVD games and use CD Swap Magic to boot CD games
4 Try to unplug the power cord from your PS2 console and plug it back 5 minutes later and then try again
5 If the above methods cannot fix the problem, please try an original disc to test if it works, or take your Swap Magic to test on another console if possible

Q: I just received my swap magic 3.6 disc set The CD version works fine, however when I try to load up the DVD version of swap magic, the load program screen does not come up. I can tell that the PS2 is not even spinning the disc to read it. Did I get a bad disc?
A: Please test your disc with your friend console to see whether it boot up or not If the disc cannot boot up, then it assures you got the bad disc. Please email us at support@vpgames.com for a replacement disc.

Q: I just bought a new PS2 slim, I opened it then installed the magic switch according to the video on this site, I booted it up for the first time ever and set up the time, date, etc… I expected it to spin the swap magic disc and bring me to the screen where I can swap the disc for a DVD-R, But it did not do this.

A: Please install the magic3 switch without inserting any disc, After installation of the magic3 switch please switch on your console, If the switch installed properly, you will see the laser lens moving toward to the center. Also please check the installation of the tool A, there is a micro switch and you need to use the tool A to press it down

Q: Why do I get black and white display when I play imported games?

A: Please bootup your PS2 console with Swap Magic. On the Swap Magic screen, choose “Video Mode” and turn it to PAL / NTSC according to your console, then load game when you are finished

Q: Will any cheat devices (such as Codebreaker, Action Replay, Gameshark, etc) work with the swap magic? I have backup games and want to use the swap magic to play them but, I also want to use cheat codes from the device on these games from time to time.  Which device will work if any.

A: Gameshark is 100% compatible with Swapmagic. First you should set
the cheat code in Gameshark, And then you can boot the console by Swapmagic3
and play your game disc,

Q: Will Swap Magic3 work with DVD+R backups?

A: You can use either DVD+ or DVD- disc for your backup, but make sure you
need to use the IMAGE COPY mode for backing up your disc

Hello,

Yes, the Swap Magic works on your PS2, regardless of the color. The PS2 silver models are essentially the same as the black or white models, so you should be all set.

If you need any more help with your Swapmagic discs or installation, please let us know.

Q: I ordered the swap magic 3.6 discs, but instead I got Swap Magic 2.8 Coder. This would be fine, however, the coder didn’t come with a DVD disc, it only had too Compaq Disc versions. What should I do?

<a href=http://dir.anqam.com/trend-16.html>Death Casts Pall Over Olympics</a>

WHISTLER, British Columbia—The death of a 21-year-old luger from the Republic of Georgia cast a shadow over the start of the Winter Olympics Friday night.
As the organizers of the event and athletes from around the world prepared to attend the opening ceremonies only six hours later, Nodar Kumaritashvili lost control of his sled near the end of the luge course, his body slamming into an unprotected metal pole next to the track at the Whistler Sliding Centre. His sled remained in the course, which has been so fast in training rounds that some competitors have questioned its safety. A rescue helicopter arrived within moments, but attempts to save the athlete failed.

An Olympic hopeful from Georgia crashed and died while training for the luge event. WSJ’s Reed Albergotti reports from Vancouver.

The crash was only the latest setback to strike the Vancouver Games ahead of the Saturday start of competition. Extraordinarily warm and rainy weather from Vancouver all the way to Whistler, a mountain resort about 80 miles to the north, have forced the cancellation of training runs in discipline after discipline. On courses that are generally considered fast, those cancellations could increase the risk of crashes, because performing on unfamiliar terrain is dangerous.
Whether the weather affected the speed of the course was unclear. Wetness can increase the slickness of ice, but warm air can offset that effect by making it slower.
Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, told a news conference that the “tragedy...clearly casts a shadow over these Games.” Mr. Kumaritashvili “had a dream to participate...and he lost his life.”

The German designer of the track said he was “eternally sorry” for the young man who died but said his tracks have a safe record, according to an interview with the German newspaper Sport Bild. “I’ve designed six tracks and no one has ever flown off it,” Udo Gurgel told the magazine. “The track is fast but <curve> 16 is a very long curve and normally not much can happen because by the end, the speed decreases sharply.”

This is the latest hot trends for today guys smile
