If PrimoDVD reports a successful copy from a known working source, then the DVD-R is ok unless it's the crappiest media.

So assuming the chip you are using is OK (like it worked before) then suspect your laser. First step is to clean it with a CD Lens Cleaner (a flail disk).

If no good, do it again.

If no good, recalibrate the DVD laser setting (www.infofree.org - you do this at your own risk).

If no good, replace the laser.

If your chip is a NEO2.2 ensure that Pin 2 is strapped to a capcitor to prevent its 5 v frying the 3.3 v laser circuit.

I think you need a GS2 v1.9 or higher to boot dvd-r

What version GS2 are you using??? If you updated to v2x then try this.load GS2 and power down the console.Power up console by pressing and holding reset, do not release, Allow GS2 to fully load.When completely loaded press eject and swap with original dvd game, do not release the reset button.wait about 15 sec then select gameshark codes and turn on or off any gamecode,then press start, select with codes. and press x to load game. a black screen will appear saying, updating codes please wait, at this time release the reset button, the tray will eject, swap original with dvd-r backup, you have about 5 sec, tray will close and backup should work....Hope this helps.
