that was a piece of the log not the whole thing there is a ton of info that could help identify your problem.The log starts like this

I 14:26:16 ImgBurn Version 1.0.0.22 Beta started!

I 14:26:16 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 1)

I 14:26:16 Initialising SPTI...

I 14:26:16 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...

I 14:26:26 Found 2 DVD-ROMs and 1 DVD?RW!

Ive burnt 2 times the game and the PS2 is saying "disc read error". Dont know what to do

[Grain]

Your using RW's yes? Have you tried a +r or -r write once disc? It's very possible your PS2 doesn't like your rw's.

[Mellow]

I havent, but when i burned another game it was on +r and it worked, shall test today!

Mmm its been said before but as Grain correctly observed PS2's are fussy buggers ! Mine loves Taiyo Yudens and has also no problems with Riteks when they burn ok.....

[Mellow]

Didnt understand shit.

[lfcrule1972]

Eh ? You don't understand which bit ?

 

Basically the PS2 can be fussy about playing games that you have backed up, in my experience the best discs to use are the Taiyo Yuden dye ones - no probs with those whatsoever.

 

Before that I used to use Ritek discs with G04 or G05 dye - they too are ok on the PS2. However I haven't seen G04 dye for ages and the G05's can be hit and miss on quality. The last 100 I ordered had way too many failures to verify and I sent them back. I have seen similar reports on other forums too....

 

Does that help ?

[Mellow]

Yeah i understood now.

Well +R worked, it was the RW's. TYVM for all the help!
