FLIP LID NIGHTMARE.

I HAVE DOWNLOADED A GAME FROM THE INTERNET
AND BURNED IT ONTO A DVD R.I TRIED TO USE THIS WITH THE FLIP LID AND SWAP DISK AND I GET A PINK BORDER ON THE SCREEN INSTEAD OF BLUE.

ANYONE KNOW WHAT I AM DOING WRONG???
IS IT NOT A SIMPLE AS THIS?

I AM USING NERO AND WINRAR.
PLEASE HELP AS YOU CAN SEE I AM A COMPLETE BEGINNER??

try not to talk about pirating games here. Its not allowed.


edit: dvd-r and dvd+r makes a difference. we need more info about your ps2 version, what type of dvd you use (- or +) and what brand you use. I think this is all that we need to know.

 

SORRY AS I SAID COMPLETE BEGINNER.


I USED A PHILIPS DVD + R 8X.

PS2 VERSION SCPH-39003.

WONT HAPPEN AGAIN

Ok sorry.

Rules all read and understood loud and clear.

I'm not very good at this am I?

 

See, you catch on fast! (we newbies have to stick together)

It's well worth reading & following the rules here. These people know what they are talking about and are very willing to help. I've learned a tremendous amount just from lurking here. And from what I can see, if you (nicely) ask a (detailed) question, you will always get a helpful response.

jools05, try searching the forums for a link to find out what your ps2 version is, i.e. version 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. If you cant find it in the forums, try googling it.

i believe that versions 1-3 have problems reading dvd+r. on some occasions they read them, but most likely they dont. Try dvd-r, but im not sure if this is your only problem. Can anyone else suggest something else?

 

successfully backed up my euro 2004 and splinter cell 2
tonight using philips dvd r +.fluke or not it defo worked.


i have a ps2 version 3.

cant talk now have gaming to do yeeha!

 

cool, good job. Well I have a version 2, and i play dvd-/+ r well too. Actually, +r works better for me, it seems to load up faster after I change discs with the smd's. anyways, have fun.

 

since it is an older ps2, try opening up and cleaning the laser with a q-tip and sum rbbing alcohol nd adjusting it a little
