cd-r backups work but not dvd

[Heli]

Hi everyone

I recently bought my friends chipped PS2 which he bought from thailand the model no is SCPH-39006. I dont know what chip it has but it plays cd-r backups no problem but cant get any DVD backups to work.

I use Datawrite Classic yellow media and nerosmart to burn, so far i have tried the hulk and Tombraider Angel of Darkness.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Thanks Heli

Hi UrrBodyH8sMe

Thanks Heli

Kooldraco is probably on the right track. If it was a new 39006 then it's almost certain to be a v8.

It would help if you opened up the PS2 and looked at the mainboard and BIOS chip. If they show respectively GH-022 and B090.. then it's a v8. So then you'll need to photograph or accurately describe the modchip that is installed and how many wires etc.

To piggy back on this topic - why is it that CD-R's boot up first try but DVD-R's sometimes gotta be coaxed?
