Game recognised as video

[whirush]

I just burned Samurai Jack (pal) on some Taiyo Yuden dvds at 2x.
But when I put the game in, an error-report comes up saying "The disc cannot be played." I tried different boot setups, and in the browser it says it's a dvd-video.

I have a Matrix Infinity with 1.45 firmware in a v12 ps2. All the other games I've tried works perfectly.

Should this game be patched somehow? I'm totaly clueless now... I think I've tried everything.

what program are you using to burn the backup. try using dvd decriptor and it should work.

Hello,
i have a similar problem here.
when i burn the iso with dvddecrypter and I start the game the ps2 can not read it.
all other games are fine, only this gives me a problem.
I also tried with PCSX2 and upon boot debug screen tells me system.cnf not found

Hmmm. That's weird, though I think I know a possible explanation.

The only case I know of where the Sony browser will state that a backup game disc is a DVD-Video movie disc is if that backup has been patched for booting with the ESR program on an unmodded PS2/PStwo using FMCB and ESR.

Have you checked the ISO in IsoBuster ?

If this is a backup intended for use with ESR, then Iso buster will show it as having different content in the ISO9660 filesystem (the real game files) and in a UDF filesystem (AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders).

Patching the games this way, to look like a DVD-Video movie, is what tricks the PS2 into allowing access to a burned backup disc even on an unmodded console, but playing the game requires the ESR program too, to make the game booting routines use the correct filesystem (instead of the dummy video filesystem).

Btw: In fact it varies with different modchips too. A DMS4proSE (like I have) can play these backups even without ESR.
