Hi dust2dust,

Yes, I'm using firmware 1.68 already.
I guess these blanks are just no good for ps2 games.

I did look into adjusting the laser, but on the v5 ps2 its a long job and as you say the game won't run good on other peoples ps2's anyway.

I'll try some cheap branded dvdr's and dvdrw's and post the results.

Thanks for the reply!
