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.

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.....

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 ?
