Dvd5's (4.7Gb) discs, not dual layered or RW either. Also, ps2 v1-4 only take dvd-r's, some v4's can handle both, and v5+ can take either.

Normally what works best is dvdr 4x max discs burned at 1x or 2x. Also, look around for the good brands like Verbatim datalife plus, Philips, HP, Taiyo Yuden, etc. Don't use generic media.

You can definitely try, games are much pickier when it comes to media than movies are though.
