A problem with ESR?

[triedgeshell]

Ok so I haven't played my ps2 in a while, but decided to pick it up again recently because I got a new tv. Now all my previous old games work, they were all burned on mixes of verbatim and sony, and all work perfectly. I have a fcmb modded ps2. I esr patch the ISO's of course. Now this is where my current problem is.

I recently learnt about the ENGLISH PATCH for KH2FM+. Now I already have the game burned, and it works fine, so I decided, HEY, WHY NOT PLAY IT IN ENGLISH. So I burned it. It didn't work. After the flashing colours it just stays on a black screen. It's recognized as a ps2 game. I've burned it a couple times, from img burn, nero, and alcohol 120. Always at lowest write speeds. Always esr patched. I don't know whats going on, I thought maybe it was my laser or something, but all my other games still work. So I decided to try another game, it was some random tales of game. And to my surprise, it went to a black screen also. I have no idea whats going on. And the weird thing is both the tales of game and the eng patched version of kh2fm work on the emulator. I would really appreciate some help, this is so dam frustrating and im wasting my DVD-R's. (I've been using sony dvd's, i've tried dvd-r and dvd+r, always black screens after the colours. I repeat though, all my other previously burned games from the past work.)

1 if you had KH2FM burned did you make ISO from that if so did you unpatch ESR patcher before you ran english patch
2 Sony disk are thicker so more strain on drive motor
3 after unpatching make sure that MD5 is 1bd351e1df9fc5d783d8318010d17f03 is correct if not english patch will not work
4 and maybe most important this site has a rule about mentioning pirated games so re frame from mentioning

1. Yes actually I did make an Iso from the the burned copy, Im not 100% sure if I unpatched it first, but I think I did...I'm actually not sure so Ill try taking the iso from the burned copy again and making sure to unpatch before I do the eng patch.
2. Might that cause a problem? Sony always worked before :/
3. How do I check the MD5 :s? I remember something about this being said during the english patch also, I didn't really know what to do with it though. And if it isn't exactly that, then what would I do?

[RandQalan]

Look on google their is different programs for free to check check sums
Not much you can do if it don't match the patch fails to complete proper which will cause bad burn and all

THANK YOU! I really hope that's the problem, lol.

And oh.. That's unfortunate :|

[RandQalan]

To be honest I hope the best I use OPL to run the english patch not ESR but do know a few things about it

[triedgeshell]

Im calculating the md5sum as we speak, lol. I would rather use OPL also, but I use my hard drive for my wii :/
I cant use it for both unfortunately.

OOOOPP

Well thats unfortunate :/
At least I know WHY it wasn't working now...

[RandQalan]

Yea I checked the checksum is for the greates hits version of the game
and that is what the patch is for unfortunately for sum people

[triedgeshell]

BAHHHH, I have the greatest hits version of KH2 (US)
Why must final mix be japan only, makes it so dam complicated to get -.-
