what chip to get

[ottoman]

It could still be a media issue.

Just because some games do work doesn't mean the media r any good.

I used to use BulkPaq ( They suck) and this backed up most games fine.

However if it's a game that makes the laser work hard, they r crap.

Some games to try would be:

GTA Vice City
The Getaway
Max Payne
Time Splitters 2

If all these work flawlessly and load at the same speed as the originals then u have a good media.

Also some cheap media kind of decays after a while, U burn a game and it works fine then a couple of weeks later it won't even boot.

I don't buy into this experiment with different media crap and see what works for you.

Go with brands that r already tried and tested with PS2, Ritek and Traxdata.

If u r using any other media then u cannot cancel out a media problem.

Good luck
