PS2 Emulator Burning Help

I have now wasted plenty of cd-r's and I seriously have no idea what else to try. I can't get any emulators to run on my ps2. I have Swap Magic 3.6 and every single time i try and get it to read my disc, it says "not a valid ps2 disc." I've tried SNES Station and IMBNES. I got IMBNES to work on my computer using a psx emulator, but even that won't read on my ps2.

I've seen many different variations of instructions and I've tried them all. Some say for SNES station you need to include the Install file, some say you don't need it. Does anyone have a set way that works? PLEASE help, I wouldn't ask if I hadn't tried everything I knew already. Thanks everyone.

You must have a mod chip for some homebrew to run.
There is also a save game exploit involing a memory card and a HD.
