Dvd-r Not Loading
 

I have been unsuccessful in loading DVD based backups. I have a version R PS2 with the solderless mod chip, burned using Pioneer DVR-AO3 and TDK media. PS2 CD based games boot no problem as well as PS1 backups. I am using a Gameshark version 2. Am I burning them wrong or booting them incorrectly. Please help a frustrated gamer!!!!

PS2 DVD (Silver or DVD-R)
(1) Load AR2/GS2 Disc 1
(2) Select “ACTION REPLAY CODES” - Press “ X”
(3) Select “DAVE MIRRA BMX” - Press START
(4) Press START
(5) Select “WITH CODES” - Press “X”
(6) Press eject, and swap with an original DVD Disc with a large Table
of Contents (TOC) eg, Devil May Cry, Orphan etc.
(7) Wait 10 Seconds
(8) Press “X”
(9) "ERROR TO MANY CODES MESSAGE"
(10) Press “X”
(11) Press START
(12) Select “WITHOUT CODES”
(13) Press “X”
(14) Press eject to swap with your DVD-R
(15) Press “X” to load game

I tried to the load the backup but again I was unsuccessful. Once I inserted the original DVD game and pressed X the game loaded and No Error Message occured per your post. What method/software do you use to create your working backups?

nero or prassi primodvd
its most likely your laser need calibrating or replacing
u got any pionerr or apple media ps2 laser like these
if not get your laser calibrated
i got ps2 read any brand dvdr m8 has 1 bad laser his reads apple or pioneer only
i have 1 tdk dvdr my ps2 reads it his doesnt

In a earlier post i gave you the correct method for booting dvd-r using a GS2 v2x along with the r-mod. If you are using it along with a hi toc original dvd game and are getting no read or write errors with primo dvd then i would agree with dust2dust, you may need to adjust the laser

I just bought the PS2 about a month ago and am unsure how to calibrate the laser. Could you supply some instructions or give me a site that has them. What exactly am I adjusting for?

You take your PS2's usefulness into your own hands here. At your risk and on your own head!
