Swap Magic is a pressed disc that the PS2 recognizes as legit (how they managed to press PS2 discs is beyond me, but unofficial pressed discs have been existing since the PS1 era). The PS2 reads SM’s main ELF and loads it as any other game, and this is where the fun begins. Swap Magic has a set of intentionally bad sectors where some files are supposed to exist, when Swap Magic tells the PS2’s CDVD drive to read these files on such bad sectors, it fails, the PS2 keeps retrying but is eventually unable to read them, causing the CDVD drive to stop both the laser and motor, so the disc stops spinning. This allows the user to then easily swap Swap Magic for another game, be it a backup or an import, as long as the tray’s sensors are all blocked and the PS2 doesn’t know that the tray is being opened, then you can easily swap it. Once the disc has been swapped, Swap Magic’s main ELF is still in memory, so it doesn’t stop Swap Magic from working, the user can now tell Swap Magic that it has changed the disc, Swap Magic then proceeds to read the disc’s SYSTEM.CNF file to obtain the filename for the main disc ELF and load it like any other game can load an ELF. The way ESR plays backups is by taking advantage of two of the main selling points of the PS2: its DVD drive and its ability to play Video DVD.

The standard format used for DVDs on the PS2 is UDF (Universal Disk Format), which greatly supports multi-session discs.

What ESR does is patch the ISO image of the game to include two different data sessions or tracks, the first one, and the one that is immediately accessible to the CDVD drive is a dummy track that resembles that of a Video DVD, fooling the CDVD drive into thinking that a Video DVD has been inserted.
