[patch god]

thanks otto. my ps2 doesnt crash there though. it just glitches heaps. anyway, i might do a reburn some time in the future to see if it fixes it. and my media is manufactured by maxell (sold as TDK) and they are meant to be pretty damn good. i have some taiyo yuden made TDK's also, i could try those.

BTW, all my burns make sort of squeeking sounds when loading (sometimes more or less depending on the media and burn speed). not loud though. if i put my ear real slose to the ps2 i can hear it. It sounds like when the ps2 loads cd based games but only about 1 quarter as loud and vicious. the originals all sound quiet and make deep squeeks (well not really squeeks but loading-like sounds). is this somewhat normal or should my burns sound exactly the same as the originals? how do ur burns sound???

thanks for all the help guys.
