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

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
