you probably need a new laser for your ps2.

what kind of media are you using for you backups?

[KingSpoon]

i use verbatim they are the best like i tested and heared, i think its the chip, or probably the cd/dvd drive on the ps2 but its always cold here in germany, one week ago it worked now..... hmmm damn

so someone help pls....

[snake2]

are you using dvd-r or dvd+r?

[lufcfan]

and are they DataLife or DataLife PLUS?

[20cobra01]

When you play the original ps2 games, does the system go to the browser screen first of does it start up the game immedialty (goes straight to the PS2 logo and then game vs the memory card/ disk selection browser screen). If it is going to the browser screen first I would say you have a dirty lazer. you can clean it with a kit or open the PS2 and take the cover off of the DVD drive and swab it with que tip soaked in an alchole/water solution.

Hope this helps

i use dvd- r when i put an original game in then it starts the game without browser menu direct jumps to the game, when i put the backup in he says wrong dvd i also tried to diagnose those dvd, was on menu put the dvd in then press eject, the same red screen, i cleaned yesterday also the laser no matter, sumthin wrong help pls =//// , i use verbatim media and what do u mean with datalife plus and normal datalife ??? ???

[lufcfan]

There are 2 types of Verbatim DVD-R - DataLife and DataLife PLUS. It will say on the packaging which it is.

If it is simply datalife, then that'll be your problem - they suck :)

If they're DataLife PLUS, you shouldn't really have a problem...

Though considering DataLife PLUS are fairly hard to find, i'm betting they're standard DataLife discs - and they are useless, quite frankly :o

[KingSpoon]

nah nah they're plus i looked at the package

[20cobra01]

Since the originals don't stop at the browser screen before booting, I think it may be chip related. Maybe a lose connection. If it was your laser I think you would have noticed a deteriation in performance over time (sometimes the backups boot, sometimes they don't) rather than having it stop playing backups all at once. I would advise going into the console and checking the connections with an ohm meter or having someone else do it if you are not comfortable opening up your ps2.

how he can play backup movies then?

[20cobra01]

I negleted that fact in your original post. I am trying to think if backup movies will play on unmodded PS2's or not. I never tried it before. I will have to defer to some of the more experineced poster of the board on that.

Sorry,

A stock PS2 will play DVD-R movies.

[KingSpoon]

the thing is all backups are working only not the games ps2 and ps1 i backuped two ps1 games to see if it works nah no response :(

help pls...

[spedmetal]

You dont need a mod chip to play copied DVD movies in a PS2. In fact most any DVD player will play copied DVD movies with out modification. So your PS2 wont play any back-up PS2 or PS1 games? What version is your PS2? You might consider taking it back to the store for an evaluation.

[barkroc2]

im curious what games your trying to play? my chip wont let me play back up ps1 games. how about a list of the games you cant boot. you trying to burn ps1 games to dvd?--(dont know if that would make a difference). your english does make it a little hard to follow, but at least your trying..hell i only know 1 german word, and unless somebody sneezes i got no reason to use it

[KingSpoon]

man my ps2 is modded so i backup ps1 games to cd and ps2 cd's to cd's and dvd's to dvd's he doesent read any backup ps2 game ps2 is "scph-pal 50004"
i dont know how to continue.... ill be pleasured to u guys... need help...

[barkroc2]

... ill be pleasured to u guys...
WHAT???


im just kidding, it does play ps1 backups though?

[KingSpoon]

i ment by im pleasured = im in ur debt... pls help

so it normally played ps1 backups

but now it doesent...

[barkroc2]

so absolutely NO game backups play, but everything else does? id say its in the chip or the wiring (like the guy in the 2nd or 3rd post said)

[KingSpoon]

i can play everthing but no backup games of ps2 and ps1 so i also dont know how to check the connection...

[spedmetal]

This is why you need to take it back to the place the modded it or some other modder that can fix it for you.

Good luck.

First of all i think u have duo 2 GT modchip. As u say u boot every single ps2 (original) without any problem but not backup copy. So why dont u try this way and see if that boot sequence work.
1. Press the reset button to power the ps2
2. Insert ur backup copy in.
3. Press and hold the reset button until it power off.
4. As soon as the power off press the reset button again and see if its work.

Im only try this boot sequence once. So give it a try...

[KingSpoon]

i gave it to the store where i modded my ps2 he checked sum points i got it back tested and it worked 2 hours later i tried a ps1 game didnt read it, afterwhile i tested a ps2 game same thing again, i think the chip/mod is off i really dont know how to turn on or sumthin..... or the chip is f***** up
