I was wondering if anyone has encountered this situation before.Basically, my slim PS2 won't read dual-layered games anymore. Here's what happened:
A year or so ago, I got to the end of Xenosaga and decided to put off finishing it. It was then that my brother obtained a swap magic disc and I got interested in burning/copying/playing imports. So months go by and I am happy with being able to play these games.Now a few weeks ago, Isee xenosaga 2 in a store and decide I might as well buy it since it was only $20. So I do. Of course, first I want to finish the first one, so I put in the disc regularly(no Swap Magic) and start up the PS2. Gets past the Playstation 2 logo and then once its about to show the company logos, it makes a horrible grinding noise. I immediately turn it off and inspect the dvd and PS2 for any damage... nothing. so I try again. Same thing.
So to investigate what happening exactly, I turn on the PS2 with the top open(the way I would have it if I was swapping games) and start it up. This time, I keep my eye on the laser's red light as it loads and see what happens: the grinding noise is the laser trying to read past the dvd(and failing, of course). I turned it off and tried loading my other non-burned games. Success. They all load perfectly. I try xenosaga 2. The first disc loads alright but the second one doesn't load(same thing that happened to XG happens). So I deduce that the 2nd disc must be dual-layered and my PS2 simply won't read em anymore.
So I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this without having to make a copy of my own Xenosaga and burn it to a standard 4.3gb dvd.
So help, anyone?
I did it!
