Crazy PS2?

[SleeplessHunter]

One last thing...

I checked my ps2 cover and its a 30001 R model, with serial starting w/ U3.
On ur site it said it means its a v4/5/6 ps2.
And if theres a screw in the expansion bay, its 5/6.
And guess what? theres a screw!

So there goes my guess as to it being a v4 ps2...
And the laser is a KHS-400C laser (written on it)

This all good info?

So, all my kicking and biting the PS2...

...and its all cause of the media?

Wow... didnt know the PS2 was THAT picky (worse than some girls hehe)

I'll go out tomorrow and buy some DL PLUS dvds and test em out, cause I guess my laser is v5/6 and works fine!

Thanks guys

That is good news. Means u have version 5/6 which is a much more reliable machine. Now Verbatim Datalife + for cd-r backups, Ritek G4 for dvd-r backups and ur off!

Well, I just got Verbatim Datalife Plus DVD-rs and tried to burn Spiderman 2 at 2x (only speed nero would let me choose, other than 4x) and it works perfectly!

Not only that, when the PS2 loads the game, I can hear that the laser is not struggling as it was with normal verbatim datalife dvds... It just sounds like a normal game booting up. (and theres no stuttering or jumpiness, im impressed!)

Funny how the dye and Metal AZO can be so good for the ps2 laser!

Thanks guys!
