That is so fu**in weird it plays rips, but not 1:1 cdr copies.
Can you boot dvd movies or dvd ps2 backups?
What version is your PS2?

It’s weird because if you get “no data” when a disk is inserted it’s because the disk is not being detected at all, however you said you have no problem booting rips. Usually you would get the “red screen” meaning the disk is detected just not as a ps2/1 game or dvd movie.

I would recheck all the solder points, make sure there are no bridging or cold solder joints.
If you are certain all you’re wiring is good and there are no bridges, I would guess you have a laser problem it might need cleaning or calibration.

yep dvd rips
 

i belive its the cd speed to read ps1 games has to be set on a dif speed from ps2 games but yet it plays ps2 rips on cdr yes but its reading as if it was a dvd just smaller so there for it wont need to read as fast as a ps1 game or rip i would try checking the speeds in ur opition first and work from there i have had a ps2 b4 that would only play dvd games no cd based games i had to send it to sony and they fixed it for me for free :)

How do you change the speed of the spinning. I am not sure how to do it.

I figured out on how to change the disc speed but when I use it how am i supposed to boot up a backup when you hit reset and it puts it back to default speed.???

im not sure i never used it b4 i sold a ps2 to a guy that had to change speeds to get his ps1 games to work on the ps2. I will mess around with it i have no mod chip yet so i will have to use original ps1 games. Have u tryed it with a ps1 reg game to see if thats the prob with the loading if it loads aftr u chnage speeds that means thats all it was if not must be somthing else wrong

so just see if it will boot a ps1 original game then u will know thats what it is but im not sure how u would go about booting a backup i only used ps1 for ps1 backups
