so i finally figured out how to successfully
back up nhl 2004 and boot it with swap magic.
here are the steps i followed:
1.throw the original 2004 disc in the dvd drive
open up dvd decrypter, select mode, iso, read
select the destination for the file ill use C:\nhl2004.iso for example
then click the dvd to harddrive button
this will begin the ripping process
2. when this is done open up isobuster and chose file, open image file
and choose C:\nhl2004.iso
then highlight all the files and click the right mouse button and choose extract
then choose your folder to extract to i will use C:\nhl2004
3. then go to the folder you just extracted the files to replace the dummy.pad file
with the dummy.pad from www.magicswapfix.com
4.open up sony cd\dvd generator select new project (DvdRom master disc)
**(you must have the file wnaspi32.dll in the same folder as cdgen)**
and then one by one drag the files from the nhl2004 folder into cd/dvd generator
u must place the files in this exact order (u can place the whole folder in when time to do so)
fpreload.viv
icon.sys
loadbar.ssh
nhl.ico
preload.viv
slus_207.56
system.cnf
tuner.sfn
boot.ssh
IOP
dummy.pad
RINKSPCH

5.click on the record button and 2 errors should come up
say okay to both then a new windows should open and select export image
then save it to C:\nhl.iml
6.After it creates all the .iml files such as nhl.000 , nhl.001 and nhl.002 use dos.
This is how you would get to dos drop down on your computer and
click on the Start button now go to where it says Run... and type in cmd or command.
It should now bring up a box and a show this
C:\Document and Settings\Owner>
When you see this type this in
C:\Document and Settings\Owner>cd C:\
Now it should show you this after typing cd C:\ in and press the enter button
C:\
Just type this in and it should start building your iso file
C:\copy /b nhl.000 + nhl.001 + nhl.002 nhl2004.iso
You should see this when you have done it right
nhl.000
nhl.001
nhl.002
It will save the iso file on your C:\ drive
7. Open up DVD Decrypter, chose Mode, Iso, Write
put a blank dvd in the drive, choose your file nhl2004.iso
and click the hard drive to DVD button
8. Run swap magic dvd, swap the game with your slide card
and have fun tearin up the ice.
