swapmagic not loading edited WE8LE

[Oli]

Ive got a new slimline PS2 and a flip top cover. Put the CD swapmagic in, lifted the cover, put in WE8LE edited on CD and pressed X, it looks like it gunna load but then nothing happens..

What could be wrong?

Try the DVD Swap Magic. Here's a link that might be helpful:

Thanks the DVD works, but a problem.

The loading times are INCREDIBLY slow. It took about 2 minutes to load a match. Surely thats not right.

Its fine on my old ps2 (whihc broke), but on the swap magic its so slow (the loading times). What could the problem be.

A friend of mine who has it said he also got this problem but after a while it was fine and went awat. Why would it happen in the first place?

Not a clue. But people in the afterdawn forums might know.

I had that problem too noted. The loading time between menu screens takes ages to load. I did this with a patched WE8LE (it works fine the original WE8LE). It was some sort of "ultimeate" patch with ads, kits, trans text etc but i can't remember the name. Its a little weird and the PS2 does make horrible noises when trying to read the disk, so I think either the DVD-R we used is not a good quality, or the PS2's laser is wearing, but I think its a DVD-R quality issue.
