PSX Gaming on Modded PS2

[James Bunt]

I've recently got very involved in PSX gaming. Now I'm fully using the functions of my PS2. Well, everything seemed perfectly fine until I ran into a few problems with particular games. I've tried dozens of ways to get around them but I ended up with no solution and about 15 coasters.

 

The problem is with burned games failing to get passed the PS logo screen.

 

Most of the games I have work but there a few particular ones that don't.

 

Tales of Destiny II

Spyro the Dragon 2

Lunar SSS

Breath of Fire 2

Bushido Blade 2

 

I've used mostly Maxell 48x discs and these "natural" brand name discs.

 

After experimenting with a few techniques I've found out that burning the disc at different speeds, using different programs have nothing to do with these games not reading.

 

The only reason for I can come up with is the cdr's that are used.

 

For example, I got bushido blade 2 from the net and burned it. It didn't boot so I thought it was a bad rip. I borrowed Bushido Blade 2 from a friend which was burnt on a "ProFormance" disc and it worked flawlessly. I copied that disc but the same deal happened.

 

So basically, if anyone knows the solution to this problem...or can recommend a media brand that can run these games, please help.

 

It would be even better if you personally had gotten any of the above games working yourself.
