I have tried a few CD-Rs with my recently modded ps2 pimpin the magic3, with mixed results. one of the games i have tried runs admirably, while two others boot to the browser (the browser says that there is a ps2 disc present, but goes back to the browser if i attempt to play it). needless to say, i am a bit dismayed and any thoughts on the issue would be appreciated.
which model is your console?
First, did you burn all three games exactly the same (ie same burner, same media, same program, etc...)? If so, try a quick reburn and/or laser clean just for a sanity check. If not, reburn the offending games in the exact same manner as the one that works.
If none of the above work......well, I am not going to regurgitate the same old tired lines over and over.....do a search on Magic 3 and you will find countless others with similar problems. Bottom line here, Magic chips are buggy at best. Some will tell you to adjust laser pots or replace your laser or adjust azimuth. By your own admission, you have gotten one CDr to work perfectly, no? If so, with all things being equal (ie media, burn method, burn software, etc...), how can someone possibly suggest it is anything other than the Magic? Think about it.
