A. It means that some games 4.36-4.38GB’s may need rebuilt to work with Swap Magic. This isn’t true for ALL games over 4.38GB’s and differs on a game to game basis. The main purpose of rebuilding is to shrink the game’s Table of Contents (TOC-the size of the game) in order to boot it with Swap Magic. The TOC for the Swap Magic DVD is around 4.37GB’s. There is no need to rebuild games if you have a modchip. Another purpose of rebuilding is to make games run smoother. Usually the size of the game after rebuilding is smaller, but not always. Some games have dummy files used to beef up the TOC and help them run more smoothly. A good way to lower the game’s TOC is to overwrite a large dummy file. If you are having trouble getting a backup to boot, and you’re sure the media isn’t the problem, try rebuilding the game.
