Unhappy Problem with V4 Messiah 2.

I successfully got my V4 PS2 modded a few days ago, and it works fine. One problem, though. I got a Madden 2003 burned on DVD-R, and it loads. Well, I burned Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution on a Verbatim CD-R...and it doesn't load. The PS2 recognizes the game, and when I go to the browser screen, the blue disc icon comes up. I select it, wait a few seconds, and it takes me back to the same browser screen.

Is it just my laser? Cause I've heard reports of V4 PS2s having bad lasers. Also, I can play all my other CD and DVD based games.

Use CloneCD and follow the tutorial in the backup procedues sticky. Your prob should be fixed.

My PS2 still won't read CD-R backups...

What should I do? I have Messiah 2, and I have a V4 PS2.

Maybe it was just a bad rip of the game.

V4's are meant to have really piss poor lasers, so that could be the problem.

especially if its not a new v4....

sell it and get a v7...its the only way..

Couldn't I just buy and get a new laser installed without selling it?

Before you go get a new laser or ps2, try making a direct burn of a cd game using CloneCd and the tutorial instead of burning something made by a rip kit. This could just be a bad rip. This way we will know if it is a bad rip(my guess) or a bad laser.

Just a note. I recently mooded a guys PS2. When it weas shipped to me he had a copy of Thrill Kill in it. This is a PSX game but the problem I had with it is similar. When his copy was booted as a PSX game it booted as an audio cd. So for the hell of it I tried it as a PS2 ga,e . Same thing as your copy happened. It acknowledge it as a disc in the browser screen but when you select the disc it brings you right back to browser. I question him and he said it was borrowed from a friend, and it worked in his PS1. So I attempted to make a copy of his copy and see what happened. I did a brief check to see that the game was the same size as the Thrill Kill that I own, and it appeared to be OK. However, when I went to make the copy in CloneCD I noticed that it was about 1k larger. So my guess is that you just have a corrupt backup. It could be your fault for doing a bad burn or it could be a bad rip. Why don't you just back it up at original size?

That also could be one of your problems.
