ps2 doesent read any backups...

[lufcfan]

and are they DataLife or DataLife PLUS?

[20cobra01]

When you play the original ps2 games, does the system go to the browser screen first of does it start up the game immedialty (goes straight to the PS2 logo and then game vs the memory card/ disk selection browser screen). If it is going to the browser screen first I would say you have a dirty lazer. you can clean it with a kit or open the PS2 and take the cover off of the DVD drive and swab it with que tip soaked in an alchole/water solution.

Hope this helps

There are 2 types of Verbatim DVD-R - DataLife and DataLife PLUS. It will say on the packaging which it is.

If it is simply datalife, then that'll be your problem - they suck

If they're DataLife PLUS, you shouldn't really have a problem...

Though considering DataLife PLUS are fairly hard to find, i'm betting they're standard DataLife discs - and they are useless, quite frankly

nah nah they're plus i looked at the package

Since the originals don't stop at the browser screen before booting, I think it may be chip related. Maybe a lose connection. If it was your laser I think you would have noticed a deteriation in performance over time (sometimes the backups boot, sometimes they don't) rather than having it stop playing backups all at once. I would advise going into the console and checking the connections with an ohm meter or having someone else do it if you are not comfortable opening up your ps2.
