Can't play PSX-Games on my modded PS2!! HELP

[Warlock]

Actually black cd-r's are a bad choice for backups. Try Verbatim data life plus

[tattmann]

okay, cool. I wanted to try a medium as close to the original black ps1 cd's as possible. I had a thought that maybe the cd laser may have been refracting too much and not reading a silver cd well enough. Anyway, I tried some black ones. Alcohol was able to be dropped to 8x burning speed on my home pc. This made a difference! It loaded up my backup just as fast as an original disc. However, it stops at the ps logo, and doesn't pass it. I will see if I can find the verbatims you mentioned, and I will post results then. One question here, do you know of a program that will allow me to drop the burn speed down to 4x? All my burning programs stop at either 8x, or 16x as the slowest speed. Thanks, Mike.

I got out an older cd burner put it in my pc. and tried again. I used the black memorex cd's, and alcohol 120%. With my old burner, I was able to drop the write speed back down to 2x. Voila! Working perfect backups. Thanks for your input, Mike.

i too am having the same problem as tattmann. i have a modded v.7 with the DMS4 Pro SE Modchip and have found a few Psx games that will load but stops at the psx logo screen. Im goning to go out and try to find a old CD-R burner that will burn at 1x or 2x and try reburning the games at the lowest speed using Taiyo Yuden 52X CD-R Media Silver Thermal Lacquer. ill let everyone know how it turns out.
