thanks! ill try that, hope it works.....will post the result tomorrow...

i hate it....i burned valkyrie profile with 1x speed...and again, the startup works fine, the intro works fine...but once i try to get out of the freaking dungeon, i get black scree, disc rotates very fast, and there a message at the bottom of the screen saying "retry"....well the ps2 retries x times but that doesnt help....i already wasted 7 cds on this game....i dont understand why the start of the games works, but the overworld map doesnt...is this really a media issue...

It is possible that your original may have damage in that area of the disc. Therefor when you back it up you in turn backup the damaged area as well.




Tyler!

Did you burn an 80 minute Audio CD yet? This will be a good burn quality indicator, if the audio starts skipping half way through, you will know you have burn quality / laser reading problems.

no, not yet...i will try that these days....

I have a similar problem, the games I have problem with is Tales of Destiny 2, Lunar and Resident Evil. All other games work but these I only get to the ps1 logo with.

Burner: SONY CRX160E
Mod Chip: DMS3

This is too strange :confused:
Do the originals boot with the chip disabled?

for me? nope cause I have a PAL ps2 and the games are NTSC, imported

Oh, I see... ;)

lately I been thinking it has something to do with the audio tracks cause games without work perfectly, is there some special way you have to burn when there are audio tracks?

No, not that I'm aware of... :confused:

I’ve found with some cheap media, Audio is the hardest thing to burn good, again, especially in the last half of the CD. You may have heard of some recordable disks now being branded specifically “Audio CD-R’s” and others “data. Here in Canada the government was even getting involved, wanting to put extra taxes on Audio CD-R’s. The Canadian Government just loves to find things to drop more taxes onto. I’m thinking these Government and corporate tools are trying to split the CDR media into two categories strictly for profit reasons. One thing is for sure, there’s no shortage of garbage media out there, even trusted names like verbatim is selling at least three grades of quality and every time you see the labels change on the package you can be sure the media quality’s taken another dive. The good old dark blue’s are all but a memory. I think the Audio branded were supposed to be better quality and more compatible for consoles where Data CD-R’s were supposed to be strictly PC data even thought Audio or Data tracks can be recorded onto either.

Anyway, it’s like back in the 80’s when they started putting the “HQ” on VCR’s, they were’t better quality at all, “HQ” meant cheap plastic gears and cheaper components! Oh, corporations love to sell people overpriced garbage, thanks again Sony. Now that the Fools and tools are so occupied by the burning speeds marked on the media as if 48X is actually better quality than 8X, well guess what!!! For Christ sakes anything over 8X is variable speed, variable garbage!

the cds I use work perfect to copy music cds on though, even if i burn at the end of the cd

hi all,
i KNOW the problem now! i tried the games with my friends playstation, and everything worked fine! that means my ps2 has some problem! maybe the laser doesnt work properly with my ps1 games. damn! has this something to do with my ps2 model?? (my ps2 is about 2,5 years old) how can i fix the laser?!?! could a cleaning cd be helpful?!
do i have to buy a newer ps2 model?!

Try the cleaning CD. If this doensn't work, you'll have to adjust the CD Pot on your PS2 console...
