M3.1 reads originals, cdrs btu wont read DVDRWs

[kamaleon]

Im installign a Magic 3.1 into a V4 console. Boots and plays original and cdrs games but wotn load dvdrw games that i know work fine.

is there an alternate way of installign certain points to make them work? i recall reading somethign liek this a long time ago.

A v4 isnt likely to read rw's
This really isnt effected by the modchip its all up to the laser

[kamaleon]

correction. it only loads backup grames on CDRs

when i use originals and dvdrw it goes to the browse/menu.

no red screen.

whats 'special' abotu v4 lasers? other versions older and newer do read them.

must be with the install since originals are behaving the same way

do you mean dvd-r or -rw only newer ps2's will read dvd-rw's -rw's have a lower reflectivity than dvd-r's. try verbatim burned at 1x should work if not your lasers on its way out

lets see.. ps2 was working just fien with original games b4 installign teh chip. once installed only boots backup games on CDRs'

the media i use never game me issues it has worked on every other ps2 i have done and yeah i do burn at 1x

i have checked all solderign points and all seem good (conductivity).. im puzzled

[kamaleon]

i used the alternative W1 point and the original ps2 games load fine along with the cdr backups.. how ever the dvdrw wotn load, stays at the browser screen. startign to believe the laser doesnt like the dvdrw media i got.. uhm..
