Hello everyone!
I have got a brand new PS2(3 month ago). My model no. is SCPH-39004(PAL) & the mod-chip in it is MAGIC i duuno the exactly the model but i think it Magic 3 since they work with that model no.
I can turn off the chip also.
Here is the problem:-
First i have a CD-rom game of cricket-2002(backup) which works
on the ps2. i made a copy of it on my cd-writer with Roxio cd creator on a Sony CD-R but it doesnt load & gives error of insert playstation or PS2 format game. If i keep the button pressed till blue light appears(like for playing PS1 games) it displays the PS1 wordings & some"xxxxx---xxx" sort of thing no PS1 logo. Why cannot my PS2 read CD-r copy?
2.I know the instruction to play back-up like keep the disc in tray & put PS2 in standby & then boot so it all works fine but sometimes this does not happen & i get an straight error screen for "INSERT PS2 or PS1" game & sometimes it goes to the browser screen & then gives this error. This happens say 2 times out of 10. I'm using Light-Gold layered DVD-r's i duuno the name..
3. My disc tray was making grinding noises when i used to eject the tray only(only in horizontal position).So i opened my PS2 & ejected the tray a couple of times& now its not any making noises. Any ideas what was the problem here?
4. When i run backups of games like Splinter Cell ,FIFA 2004,MGS:2 Substance...etc.
I give example of FIFA when i select the network setup it says loading & then a new program for settings opens up no problem here... but when i select to go back to game it gives "Insert PS2 or PS1" game error. Same happens with Splinter Cell everytime i save a game & then resume... but when i reset & start from the previous save it works. This happens on backup of MGS:2 too, if i select skateboarding & then exit skateboarding to go back to game menu it gives this error.
What is the problem here. Is anyone is having these problems?? Is this a normal issue or is My PS2 a piece of junk!!
Pls let me know guys .. ...
