Hey, I have made an Iso for my PS2 game, which I first burnt with nero with a DATASTREAM Proffesional DVD-RW disc, the game worked fine form turning on the PS2. I erased the data because I wanted to put on another Iso which I did and it also worked fine. I went to the shops to find more DATASTREAMS DVD Blanks but couldn't find any, so I go TDK DVD-RW discs. On the cover they say DVD-RW Data/Video, 4X, 4.7 GB. I burnt the iso with Nero and when I put it in my PS2, which is modded, it just stays on the start up screen which says Broswer and System configuration, I cannot even hear the disc moving around inside the PS2 even though it is. I also tried Imation DVD-RW's which also did not work, I tried DVD Decrypter after which also they did not work. Does anybody know how to fix this problem or to tackle it? I would love any help it would really really bve appreciated!!!

Which modchip do you have?
I think some will play DVD-RW, but not all.

You could always just use a DVD-R instead, even here in the UK it only costs me around 20 - 50p per disc (depending on the brand of course)

Not bad for keeping your originals safe and scratch free,i think.

good luck and hope that helped

agree with above. I would stick with either
-R or +R 8X speed DVD's
both my V7 and V12 work better with the -R
Philips, TDK, Ritek G04
Verbatim Datalife (MCC ink only!), Taiyo Yudon
make sure with Ritek and Taiyo Yudon you are getting the one's
made in Japan, there are a few fakes out there

How can you tell your v7 ps2 works better with -r than +r? My v7 ps2 can read -r and +r but how can I tell which format is better for my v7 ps2?
