My PS2 can read DVD-RW !!

[ahmadka2]

hi guys....i just tested 2 DVD-RWs on my PS2....they seem readable for some reason....

i have just started burning DVDs, so i am kinda excited, cuz i didnt have any luck with CD-RWs....

anyways, what i wanted to ask was:

recently, as i mentioned in this thread, i was having problems reading DVD-Rs on my ps2....

but as i just mentioned i just 2 DVD-RWs right now, and both seem to work in ace condition...

a few months ago, i was having problems with my old laser (now replaced), so i tried tweeking the DVD pots.....

cud this conquence be this ?? DVD-Rs: majority unreadable....DVD-RWs: readable....


anyways, my ps2 is a PAL PS2 with a Messiah Chip, v5/6...

both DVD-RWs that I tested were burnt at 2x, and both had the same media code: RITEKW01, but were different companies: Maxell and Sony....

Hmm no, there is an additional connection to solder for -RW to work, so check your other connection (CD,DVD etc)

@den leiw - can you give some details? I'd need RW to run on my PS2 from time to time

but i cant play CD-RW, I can only play DVD-RW, havent tested DVD+RW yet...

you can use dvd-rw as much as you like,but i will tell you this
the ps2 laser's dont like them,and it wont be long before you will need a new one!!
burnt out ends of smoky days

i dont really plan to use RWs as the main backup option.....just gonna use to for testing stuff, e.g. DNA$ :P

it can only take one boot of a dvd-rw to bust the laser...trust me on that one
