View Full Version : PS2 on strike !
Hi All
I have burned many games soi im not a newbie!
After a lot of playing on 1 game on my ps2, after that the game never ever seems to load ever again. I have used numerous types of mediia including traxdata, tdk, and verbantim.
Please help me. I think my ps2 is on strike with backups.
Thankx in advance
Widge
This happends with all games
Do you have a modchip or do you use another method for swapping the backup in?
I have a neo2. from kanection
I've interpreted your post as saying that the particular game, the one you play heavily, doesn't boot now. There is a utility called CDcheck.exe that will check the condition of the particular game. if it has errors, then you're stuffed. The utility can be loaded from ####://www.cdrinfo.com/software/
When I first read your post I thought it was all PS2 games so I suspected damagae from one of the non-modchip methods; obviously not the case.
Its happens when i play any game for a certain period of time. e.g gta3 burned yesterday played nearly ever since tonight dosnt want to boot. Usually it can take up to days for it to happen. other games i havnt played as much but burned much earlier boot fine.
HELP ME
Thankx in advance

Also if i try and reburn the game from the original downloaded iso the game also freezes on the gameshark/action replay screen.
just done a cdcheck heres the results of a non booting ps2 backup disc which used to work:

I have just heard from another forum that windows xp has compatabilty issues with cdr drivers and progyys is this true if so how do i fix this if this is causing all my probs.
I have just discovered the only ones that have died are the ones that are over 74min. I use 80 mins cd's for all ps2 games. what can b happening !
so i take it u use windows xp
play a disk burnt with say windows 98 and play it alot does same still happen then
this interests me as i think of using xp
I'll have to do that 2morrow cus i aint got a copy of win98
Unless I'm being thick, where does Windows xp come into this? Widge is complaining about the ps2 not playing games he's had running for some time.
Is there a problem with the Gameshark media?
only going by what he said charlie
i read it it only happens once hes played it for along time
so it works then it doesnt
he says cdrwriters has probs with xp(he got info diff forum more likely incorrect
The gameshark i think works fine. I mean it plays older games ive burnt but not played so much.
I just heard that winxp may be the prob.
I NOTICED THAT ALL THE GAMES THAT DON'T BOOT ANYMORE RE OVER 75 MINS. i put all games on 80 media though
Thankx
Widge
some older writers had probs writing 80 min disks
but this wouldnt explain why they work then after alot of use doesnt
unless u treat your disks rough (r they still in good condition
works then not works
my kids damage few(verbatims take bit more of a bashing)
Even if i rewrite the orinal downloaded iso that game never loads.
hmm sounds more like either dodgey gamshark(i think u said) or dodgey neo chip
im confused :)
have u m8 with chipped ps2
swap your gameshark with him c if he gets probs
and if yours is sorted
if still same u got prob with diff gameshark id say it must b your chip
and try your games dont work any more in his ps2 then we know if disk is ok
Read i try to copy my action replay/gameshark cd with cdrwin i get this error:
Error: Unable to read DATA sectors 0 to 26 on device 1:1:0

Also when i do a cdcheck.exe on my oiginal action replay i get:

Ive got a action replay if i burn a gameshark cd will it work
Widge - Let's get back to the buried facts as it's 16 posts ago. Please confirm or otherwise contradict each of the following position statements as I see them. I use the Post number as reference point:
1a A particular game has stopped booting
1b You have tried making a further copy from the CD in 1a
2 You have enigmatically stated that "this happens with all games". Needs clarification
4 You have the NEO2 chip
6a U burned GTA3 Friday; played through Saturday now won't boot.
6b Infrequently played games boot fine
7 Reburn of original downloaded ISO causes freeze
8 CDCheck on a suspect disk showed no errors (noted 703MB). PLEASE CONFIRM THAT THIS WAS A PREVIOUSLY BOOTING DISK.
10 The problem is confined to games with more than 650MB.
15 Gameshark is not suspect because smaller games boot.
17 Rewrite the original download doesn't work.
In this comprehensive light the following diagnosis might be reasonable and appears to support conclusions suggested so far:
There is either a media problem with heavily used games (but that wouldn't happen suddenly to all > 6540MB games), or there is sh*it on the PS2 lens or some other PS2 laser related aberration.
Assuming media problems, you have tried to burn from the original ISO (presumably using the same equipment as before, The result has failed. PLEASE CONFIRM and state burning equipment). The burn is OK as reported by the software. Windows XP has hosted the burning operation.
That leaves two questions to be resolved:
A By reburning under W2000 or W98 with the same equipment as originally burnt the >650MB game, we might narrow down the cause of the problem with the re-burn
B At Post 8 above, you stated that a suspect disk, previously used had NO ERRORS. It should boot. This is most puzzling and leaves the way open to suspecting the PS2 - or if the media can be cleaned with warm soapy water that has been known to work.
Just to clarify:
1a A particular game has stopped booting
1b You have tried making a further copy from the CD in 1a CORRECT
2 You have enigmatically stated that "this happens with all games". Needs clarification CORRECT
4 You have the NEO2 chip CORRECT
6a U burned GTA3 Friday; played through Saturday now won't boot.
CORRECT
6b Infrequently played games boot fine CORRECT
7 Reburn of original downloaded ISO causes freeze SAME PROBLEM WITH OLDER BURNED GAME FREEZE @ GAMESHARK BOOT
8 CDCheck on a suspect disk showed no errors (noted 703MB). PLEASE CONFIRM THAT THIS WAS A PREVIOUSLY BOOTING DISK. CORRECT
10 The problem is confined to games with more than 650MB. CORRECT
15 Gameshark is not suspect because smaller games boot.
CORRECT
17 Rewrite the original download doesn't work.
CORRECT
I TRIED REBURNING THE ACTION REPLAY 2 AND I GET THE ABOVE NOTED ERRORS.
THE BURNING SOFTWARE I USE IS CDRWIN 3.8F
THE OS I USE IN WINXP
Thankx in advance
Wide
The comments at the bottom of your post suggest that you are trying to boot/use a copied AR2. I'm confused as elsewhwre you refer to Gameshark. Of course a burned copy of AR2 won't work.
i am using a action replay 2 im get mixed up with the 2. I tried reburning the ar2 cd but obviously it didnt work.
Plz can u give me any suggestion y this may b happening on my over 74 min cd's. If not can u tell me how to shrink the games down.
Thankx in Advance
Widhge
hmm r the games that dont work dvd rips?
M8,
What model is your PS2????
What game is it thats not working????
What modchip if any do you have????
Cheers
Dal
p.s. Windows XP is fine providing you have the latest drivers for your CD Writer and use the latest version of CDR-WIN is it a carcked or full legal version your using of CDR-WIn????
YEAHHHHHH
Finally got the thing to work.
The prob was that my action replay dongle saved something so i had reset it to factory settings !!!! STUPID DONGLE!!
Stupid us for taking the ride!
