Hey guys.  If you seen the blog yesterday before I deleted it then you would know that I got the NTSC versio of GoWII and basically came across a problem to the sound of not compatible with Swap Magic due to it being a dual-layer disc.

 I didn't really play any games at all yesterday whatsover hence no SOTN or anything, as I was looking on places to see if there was a way of getting the game to work with Swap Magic(yeah I know it is ridiculous but this is GoWII for pete's sake).  Well I found several way and all of them had to resolve to burning a dvd-r. Some of them were not really solutions in a way, as they would only let you play the first half of the game and then it will freeze a t a certain point because the second layer content is missing.  I did come across one on a forum that basically does all this malarkey of merging the 2 part paks together and other mumbo-jumbo like that and did all that, burned it to a DVD-R and thus far, it is working just fine.

Right before you blast me for doing this technique saying it is illegal and yeah it is, if you are planning to share this here by uploading it on a torrent or ripping copies of it and selling them to people etc.  But the deal is I have a retail copy of the game, which wouldn't work with it, the PAL version is not out now until 20th April (why is this, I will never know) and I really, really wanted to play it. Its just like ROMS in that you have to have the original copy of it in order to have the ROM (don't have so I am bad here) and this is just the same as I have an original copy and just burned it to make it work.

Thus far, it is just plain awesome and really hope it doesn't screw up on me at the part its supposed to happen (fighting Icarus I believe) but since all the main game and that is on the dvd-r, I should see why not.  Will let you know what happens.
