BoomBa_GoosE Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 hey guys, i was wonderin if u guys can help me with a question in regards with my ps2. basically im playin a game, and u hear a lot of "clickin" noise as ur playin the game from the machine... is my drive messed up? dirty? is it bc of my fliptop? if anyone can help me out, thanks a lot. i appreciate it.
Prican25 Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 sounds like it, i heard from a few ppl on irc that does swapping go thru this prob and then later on end up with a dead laser. i also might add most of these ppl have since went and got a mod installed heh
NeoMaster Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 How long have you had your ps2? Does it happen on all games and all different type of disc brand and formats?
BoomBa_GoosE Posted January 25, 2005 Author Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) ive had it since august of 2004. at first it usually happened once in awhile when i played burned games. but yesterday, i was playin GTA:SA (real one) and the clickin started. gettin me worried since the system is pretty new since its not even a year old yet.... o and for the burned games, it was DVD+r fujifilm. and the clickin still commenced after i burned GTA:SA today by using Ritek DVD+r. if this still continues, i might as well stop using the flip top, go with a mod. or i ono...

NeoMaster Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Sorry but, what is a flip top? And it sucks for that to happen to a brand new system. I've had mine for about 2 years now and it hasn't been a bother yet.

(Open the top/cover by pushing a button, put in the disc, close the cover.) Edited January 26, 2005 by Agozer

PLasticSlug Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 yea i just saw a pic of the ps2 flip top, and found it be cool as hell, but is their any practical reason to doing this to a ps2?
BoomBa_GoosE Posted January 26, 2005 Author Posted January 26, 2005 swapping. u can use a converting swap disk to play backups and imports. basically what it does is that it tricks the system by not allowing it to kno that ur playin a backup or a different region. by using the drive, the system expects an american game or whatever region ur in. so i dont use the drive. only for the swap disc and legit games. and tho it looks kool, i need to mod it now bc by doing this swapping method, its bound to kill the lens sooner or later...
i l l m a t i c Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 (edited) the clicking sound is the laser struggling to read the cd/dvd...I say get the HDLoader mod.. Edited January 26, 2005 by Xx1LLMAT1CxX
