Ah okay thanks. Anyone know where I can maybe find instructions or advice on trying to calibrate the laser without breaking anything? Thanks. EDIT: My friends and I got it to work! Thanks a ton guys!! :grin:

Okay okay. I know I keep on posting but here's what I've done: I burnt the image at 1x speed on an HP DVD-R 8x 4.7gb disk. I put in the DVD version of Swap Magic, swap it out after loading, and then like 80% of the time I get 'Not a valid PS2 disc' and the other 20% it boots up and gives me a black screen and never moves on past that. I hear a bunch of whirring and stuff as it tries to read and I've tried putting some weight on top. It helps somewhat but it still doesn't quite work. The disc works on my friend's mod-chipped PS2, but it doesn't seem to run with the flip top. I've also tried swapping to official games like Disgaea and that works perfectly fine. Sorry to keep posting and complaining but...I'm really desperate to get this thing working and I can't seem to get it run no matter what I try.

To answer several questions about my little problem here: I used a DVD-R not DVD-RW...does that matter? Also, I got it from some site like thegiantstore.com or something like that and yes it makes all sorts of clicking and whirring noises as it's loading stuff up. EDIT: Okay now I can't even get it to run now. No matter how much I try it just tells me 'Not a valid PS2 disc'. Sorry to complain so much but I really wanna finally play slash =(

Okay, I got the flip top mod, I burnt the .iso image to a disc, which took 5 or 6 tries till I got a copy to run...now I got it to run but it takes like 5-10 min to load the memory card screen first, then another 5-10 min to load the main menu, and when I tried to select VS 2P, it just doesn't run now. Anyone have any ideas on what on earth is going on?
