I RETURN BEARING GOOD NEWS!!!

hey everyone. a couple of posts ago, i was frettin out about how my ps2 is messed. to recap, about a month ago, i bought a modded ps2 used. i bet its like 4yrs old at the least, and while in the very beginning it had played original gamesd and burned games pretty consistently and no problem, things changed....

eventually, i had a lot of trouble playing games, especially burned-blue ones, and even pressed originals were starrting to give me trouble- as in not even booting at all! i tried everything (well, not really, just stupid stuff) like putting scotch tape on discs, flipping the ps2 upside down then vertically, trying to load without controllers plugged in, trying to turn the power off and on really rapidly, etc. just nutty stuff.

so, i tried out the guide on this forum on a thread as "skipping stuttering, games, disc read errors" by Mike3h. i had known of this method, but wasnt confident in my skills and thought that if i have a different version ps2, things could get messy under the hood. yesterday i thought WTF and took the ps2 apart.

i cleaned the lens with isopropanol (aka isopropyl alcohol, rubbing alcohol) and blew out some dust out of the unit. then i adjusted the white circle dial till i got a height where all my games were playing. i tested it for like 6hrs at various heights, diff't disc types and companies, and pressed games, the whole works. i turned it off and gave it times in between sessions to make sure it worked consistently. it did. the real challenge was finding a height where all games work everytime, cuz i think different companies make their discs just barely thinner/thicker than others. like i think TY makes thinner discs than pressed ones and sony (japan) works pretty well and seems to be the same thickness as pressed games. maybe just my imagination....well, ater testing out the system and trying to vent out some paranoia, i closed the thing up. and actually, it still worked just as well.

in the end, the system works fine now. opening it up and cleaning it and adjusting the height worked like a charm i'm posting this so that people in the future who feel that the guide is a load of sh!t or feel uncomfortable with their own skills know that it can work, and its worth a try if your out of warranty and will have to spend like 50$ to get it done by a pro.

so, sorry for the long post, but i guess people who are hesitant have someones elses experience to benefit from.

special thanks to all the guys like Mike, stang, Talon55 and anyone else i may have forgotten to mention that helped me through this mess. yeah!

PS: naturally, youre the only one responsible if you make the choice to open up the ps2 and things go wrong, but hopefully that wont happen

 

I have the orginal PS2 game. Have done all the is to do. Done DVD Decrypter go to Mode>ISO>READ, when compeleted gone to Mode>ISO Write. done it still tell me formate the disk.
Can some one Help me please.
Thanks.....

 

I was wondering if there is any way to playback burned DVDs without a MOD chip or swap magic.

Thanks

 

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Memory card exploit is your only other alternative (AR will work to, dont know crap about that though). Search memory card exploit....this thread is about burning games.

 

@Wabba- hey, glad to here it worked for you, did anything i said helped at all... or did you end up just goin by the guide thing....

cheers

@Sohan---


COME THE FRICK ON!!!! you've got to be kidding me man.....
im' sorry. Ths Stang is right, these are you're best bets... when i first started i got a Gamshark thnkin it would work like said, except i got the wrong version..did a search on the web and theirs no way to find out which version your about to buy, doesn't say it on the packaging... now i was out like 50 bucks instead of just the 22 it took to get SM... use it!!!!

 

lol Your not the only one bro, when i first wanted to play backups i went and told my brother to buy a gameshark and he decides to bring back a cd called "Game Saves" made from the same company as gameshark lol No USB or anything to transfer new saves just a disc packed with a bunch of gamesaves to transfer to your memory card.

 

hey guys im new to burning discs in ps2 format.
ive got this burnout revenge(fake)from my friend. the game works fine
i created an .mdf image from alcohol of and when i wrote it on to a DVD-R disc the ps2 gives me a message "pls insert ps2 format disk"
i have the slim ps2 and its modded. pls help me
THANKS

 

How is it modded?

 

anyone here ever heard of HDLoader? i love it. cehck it out when u can. I'm 99% sure it's a cd, so i tried to copy it to another cd (to give to a friend) and it burned, but when i tested it in the ps2, it said please insert a ps2 format disc. Is there a way to burn ps2 CD's?

 

Hey, if it's anything like swap magic, then you won't be able to burn it

You see it reads the pressed DVD/CD's, which this prob. is, and it needs that info to read the burned ones, SM and prob. your thing can do this. your friend needs to buy the cd.

 

You need a chip or swap magic to boot up a copy of HD loader. Then agian, you need a chip or swap magic to boot up anything.

 

I using swap magic 3 with the flip top for my ps2 to play my burned games. I've been burning games just fine using memorex dvd+r & dvd-r 8x. Can you burn ps2 games on a 16x dvd-r or drd+r and if so what speed do you do it on? Can any on PLEASE help?

 

I think PS2 lasers are a bit picky when it comes to 16x media... Best to stick with 8x, or if you use 16x burn @ 4-8x.

 

Ditch the memoshit dvd's. They suck. CMC magnetics sucks. After a while your games will skip, not read, lag, etc etc. Get verbatims or taiyo yudens. Supermediastore.com is a great place to buy em. I use 16 on my games, i burn at for. Works fine.

 

hi. hey im having a problem with my ps2 i already burned a game and it doesnt want to play in it.....it says "please insert a Playstation or a playstation 2 format disc". I know this might sound stupid but do you think i need to get the mod chip or the swap majic disc thing in order to play any burned ps2 game?

 

OMG, thats it. im done. dsapfindsagoangpoinawefmaweoinew; noobs dont wanna read the mutha f'n stickies, they dont read. you dont read, you dont get told what to do.
