Let me say it now, this has nothing to do with the laser as other burned discs and official games read fine
I recently got some PAL PS2 games from my cousin, the one I'm most interested in being Dead or Alive 2. Yesterday I went and bought a 10 pack of Verbatim DVD+Rs so I can make burned copies of the games and play them on my PS2. The first game I burned was DOA2, as I'm a DOA fan and couldn't wait to play it. I rip the ISO from the original disc, test it with PCSX2 just in case, ESR patch it, burn at AWS speed, and put it in my PS2...nothing. The disc sounds like it spins, stops, spins, stops, then gives up. I've had this issue before when using DVD-Rs, which simply wouldn't work on my PS2. I then burn another copy, this time with an ISO from online. Same result. Is there any reason why certain writable discs just won't read? Last time I got a pack of DVD+Rs, they worked flawlessly. With this new pack (which is the exact same one from the exact same store), the PS2 won't even attempt to read the discs. Spins, stops, spins, stops (there is a tick noise each time it stops). I know this pack is a lost cause, but is there any way of knowing if a pack of DVDs will work or not before I waste my money?
The DVDs are Verbatim DVD+R 4.7GB 16x speed 120 min. I've used a pack of these exact discs before with no issue.
ESR is used to play burned games on my PS2, I have no mod chip and no tape/straw trick.
PS2 is a PS2 slim
It has nothing to do with the game being PAL as Space Channel 5 Part 2 runs perfectly, on a Verbatim disc no less
I know someone is gonna suggest this, but no I won't use OPL. I can never get it to read the games off my USB, despite following tutorials exactly.
