Dual layer original games will not load.

You said you have the original? Before you do anything disable the chip and try to boot the original of GOW. This will determine if its the laser or the chip. To do this with the messiah2 you simply hold the rest button in until you see the 'Sony Entertainment' screen.

i noticed recently that verbatim have started making
DVD-R dual layer discs , i have not tried any dual layer so far but maybe these would have a better chance of working , you may need to also patch the ISO with the toxic patcher before you burn the image back to disc , apparently you need to do this with the DVD+R dual layer.
I mostly use Verbatim CD-R and at the moment DVD-R discs with the ritek dye, they have worked well so far.

My chip was the first messiah does this rule apply to it also? When you say hold the reset button to de-active the chip i assume you mean that a clean reset then start up the console and simply load the disc?
On the first messiah chip you have to press reset once even if the game is original or copied. If you just insert the disc none will load at all , they all require 1 reset , and the films require 2 resets.

I would imagine the only way to totally de activate the chip would be to remove it. But i have a feeling that its the console itself and it cant load dual layer because why would the chip not load dual layer when it can load anything else?
