Problem running backups

[SMOKE]

Ihave a problem running my backups on my FMCB modded PS2.

I took my NASCAR 09 and took an ISO off of it and then opened ESR Patcher and (following a video on youtube) clicked "unpatch" followed by "patch".

Then I went to my Active@ ISO Burner and burned the ISO onto a DVD on 4x speed (again following video).

Then I put it into my PS2 and a white screen comes up and I click run cd/dvd or something like that.

Then it flashes green, pink, blue, and white.

Then it launches the game, but heres the problem, on the screen its a scrolling screen of the ads of the game (like a movie in the 50s lol) and yes I can navigate through the screens.

I have tried this about 4 times and still have the same problem.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

The three most likely problems are:

1) you have a bad rip of your game disc causing a faulty ISO file
2) you chose a bad/damaged disc to burn it to
3) you ended up with a bad burn

You could test the ISO in an emulator, if you have one. If it refuses to emulate properly, then there's your answer; the ISO is bad and you need to rip the disc again. In any case, when you're sure you have a good ISO, try patching and burning it again. Make sure you tell your burning software that you want to actually make a game disc rather than simply store the ISO on the disc as a discrete file (you seem to understand this already, but it's worth mentioning). Also, *burn it at the slowest available speed*. That is particularly important. Slow speed burns are less likely to result in errors that give you a bad burn. If your burning software can go slower than 4x, then do that.

Ok I downloaded the PCSX2 PS2 emulator and I have another question..
The program says I need the "BIOs" from my PS2?
Could you tell me what the BIOs is and also how do I get it?
Thx.

To get your BIOS the legal way, you'd need to dump it yourself from your PS2. You're gonna need this executable (pcsx2. net/files/25904). Run it with uLaunchELF with an USB drive attached to your PS2. Here's an easy tut to follow: youtube. com/watch?v=n3AVqzYcqSw

Now, you can find already dumped BIOS on the internet but that's considered piracy for whatever reason.

You should never, ever need to unpatch an ISO ripped from an original disc before patching it.

Well its working now and thats exactly what I did

Must have been a fluke then, I'm guessing your original burn was "bad" as far as the PS2 is concerned (back in the days before FMCB, I had many a disc burn "bad" that wouldn't read on the PS2, but that would read fine in my PC's drive).
