Help with games crashing/stopping....

[zanic]

Hi,

Been having problems with ps2 playing games....

I have upgraded it succesfully thank god But it did not do what i wanted i hoped it would fix my problem.

I am playing games but they stop randomly and could be 5 minuites of 30minuites then it just frezzes, the disc tries to read fast but no luck have to reset the ps2.

I am using ritek printable surface disks as i was told they was the best.

I went into the options of infinity chip and wrote them all down hope you guys can help. I hope it could be a simple problem in options mayby my video setting should change from colour to pal or vga would that effect it i dont know hope you do.

that is strange, have you tried using non-printable blank cd-r/dvd-r discs for your backups for testing purposes. what model ps2 are you using?

[ronetoneps2]

who ever told you ritek was the best lied to you , as Taiyo Yuden DVD Media is the best you can get , what speed and program are you writing with, also what dvd burner do you have, make sure you have the latest firmware for your dvd burner and write at 2x or 4x i suggest using dvd decrypter.

im using nero to burn and at 4 speed. have had no problems with my fat ps2 witht these discs only with my brothers silm ps2 i have had problems

And i dont know what to try.

try using regular cd-r/dvd-r discs to make backups of the games and then try them on the slim unit (don't use the printable ones). see if the problem is still there after trying this.

the reflective layer on cd-r/dvd-r discs is on the top next to the printable area of the disc with pressed cd/dvd discs this layer is in the middle. slim units have some of the worst lasers, so maybe even if it?s not a reg. label but a printable one it still may causing interference on the slim???

Hey i took your advice using a different disk and it seemed to work without problems playing for like 2 hours. But when playing intro video sceens it was stuttering. That was using Bulkpaq disc burned at 4x lowest i can go. So which cd do you recommentd using? Other than the ritek which crashed and the bulkpaq?

Thanks
