Please Help Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 Please Help! I tried to burn FreeDVDBoot in imgburn and it stops 24% complete for about 40-1:25 seconds then this error pops up 'asc/ascq interpretation: session fixation error writing lead in'
dbminter Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Post the log of the failed burn. Under Help, choose the Logs option. Then, open the .LOG file, find the appropriate part of the log, and copy and paste it into a reply. I have a pretty good idea what it possibly could be, but a log would tell me what precisely I needed to know.

dbminter Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Yeah, it's what I thought. This is most likely your problem: I 13:17:37 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: CMC MAG. AM3) CMC Magnetics makes the worst discs out there. Unfortunately, most companies use them to maximize profits. You probably bought some Verbatim Life Series in a brick and mortar store? Those will be CMC. While it's not 100% guaranteed to solve your problem, more than 50% of the problems on this board are caused by cheap CMC junk and generally disappear when people switch to higher quality media. Try genuine Taiyo Yuden DVD-R, the ones not made by CMC, or Verbatim DataLife Plus. NOT the Life Series. DataLife Plus can only be found in online stores. Or look for Verbatim DVD that is listed as AZO brand dye. Those will also be DataLife Plus quality discs. Another possibility is the TSST drive you're using. Those have proven to be somewhat picky and problematic according to posts on this board.
Please Help Posted August 25, 2022 Author Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) I'm from ethiopia (african country) and it's not easy that buying things in online as you told but when i try to burn another iso file to a other disc that is similar to this disc i successfully burned it btw I have 3 blank dvd-r copy that i bought. But when i try this iso file it fails in all of them The file is in the second one (All PS2 Slims - English language.iso) https://github.com/CTurt/FreeDVDBoot/tree/master/PREBUILT ISOs Try it by yourself and tell me what happened when you burn it Edited August 25, 2022 by Please Help
Please Help Posted August 25, 2022 Author Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Before I tried this I almost went anywhere finding dvd-r over the city and only one shop has blank dvd-r just to run the FreeDVDBoot work better. Then i bought 3 of them Edited August 25, 2022 by Please Help
dbminter Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 If one ISO works and another doesn't, it's most likely the fault of the ISO that is failing. Particularly if you downloaded the ISO, which if it's a PS2 game, as it appears it may be, then it's higher likely the ISO itself is at fault. However, it is also the nature of CMC media that you'll get discs from the same package that work when others don't.
dbminter Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Well, what you should do, you can't. What you should do is get some better media and see if that clears it up. But, you can't do that. You could try trying a different burner. That may help. May not. You could check for a firmware update, but there most likely isn't one and probably wouldn't help here even if it did. In Write mode, right click on the TSST burner and choose the option at the bottom of the context menu list for checking for firmware update. I could try burning your ISO to a DVD+RW but it's hardly an apples to apples comparison. I'm not using the same drive as you are. I'm not using the same media manufacturer. I'm not using the same media type, even. But, it would determine if the ISO is at fault. If I can successfully burn it on my end, the problem is either the media you're using, which is my guess, or your drive. So, give me a bit to do that.
dbminter Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 I've no idea how to download that. It doesn't show any obvious way to download it and when I try to right click and save as I get a file that is less than 200 KB, which can hardly be an image ISO file that works.
Please Help Posted August 25, 2022 Author Posted August 25, 2022 Just click the iso file and this should come up '(Sorry about that, but we can’t show files that are this big right now.)' Just click on download it's 1.3 mb
dbminter Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Oh, I did that before, and failed to see the Download button. 1.3 MB seems like an awfully small amount for PS2 ISO's. It's also an awfully small amount to be burning to DVD-R. I'd try CD-R instead. And the fact that it's so small may be the reason it fails. I'd expect an ISO to be significantly larger than that.
dbminter Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 What is this?! It's a 1 MB file of a DVD Video ISO that plays nothing!
dbminter Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Well, whatever this is, it burns fine on my end. So, the ISO isn't damaged, regardless of how useful it is. The problem is with your media or drive.
Please Help Posted August 25, 2022 Author Posted August 25, 2022 It just launches Ulaunchelf by telling ps2 it's DVD Video but It is very very very helpful when you have unmodified ps2 just like me I'm just trying to do this cause I accidentally deleted the memory card (free mcboot) and my ps2 is not that much good with dvds and cds It was good with usb games and this happened 5 to 6 years ago, I just wanted to work again
Please Help Posted August 25, 2022 Author Posted August 25, 2022 So do i have to update the firmware?
dbminter Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Oh, I see. It's a soft mod. No, I did not try it with DVD-R because it won't make a difference. If it burns to one, it burns to another. If you were try it on a DVD+RW it might or might not work. Might work if it's not a CMC DVD+RW. Might work because it isn't a DVD-R in that drive. Might not work because your TSST is picky with DVD+RW. But, we know it's not a faulty ISO. So, it's on your end, which means most likely the medium or the drive. As I said, a firmware update might help, but I'll tell you right now, it's either the CMC discs or your TSST. Replacing either option seems out of reach for you, though. You could try updating the firmware, but I doubt it would help and I doubt there even is a firmware update. Could be one and it could help, but unlikely.
Please Help Posted August 25, 2022 Author Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Sorry bro but How to update firmware? Edited August 25, 2022 by Please Help
dbminter Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Quote from earlier: "You could try trying a different burner. That may help. May not. You could check for a firmware update, but there most likely isn't one and probably wouldn't help here even if it did. In Write mode, right click on the TSST burner and choose the option at the bottom of the context menu list for checking for firmware update."
Please Help Posted August 25, 2022 Author Posted August 25, 2022 Can firmware update affect my laptop?
dbminter Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Every program you run on a laptop can "affect" your laptop. You're more likely to "affect" the optical burner in it if you update the firmware and it fails for whatever reason. Or if your battery dies during firmware update. The check for update feature in ImgBurn does not actually execute anything other than your default web browser. It sends the Drive ID string for your burner model to a web site where it checks to see if a database has any entries for firmware for that model. You then choose to instigate to download anything you might find useful. Then, you choose to execute that firmware updater package executable.
dbminter Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 What do you mean what option should you use? The right click context menu one? The one at the bottom for checking for firmware updates. If you mean which update package from the web page check for firmware updates opens, you'll want one for your TSST drive, which is model TS-L633F and a firmware greater than TF01.
