Case 1:You have a MODCHIP or you're a Swap Magic user

A modchip is a chip that is soldered into the PS2 to make it accept 'burnt' disc.If you installed SVR mod,burned to DVD and could play normally then you HAVE a modchip.

Swap Magic is the 'launcher' for burnt disc,which mean you have to insert the disc just to later swap it later with your CD/DVD.For swapping CD you need Swap Magic CD and the same goes for DVD
