before i explain, let me say that i have looked all over on this forum and could not find an answer :(...here i go: i have a new Slim PS2, bought not too long ago and i use Swap Magic 3.6 with Magic Switch Pro V2....and i burn on 8X media, and i use Sony 8X Made in Japan DVD's which are good Taiyo Yudens, and that i've been able to play all my back ups flawlessly.

Here's the situation, i got my Swap Magic 3.6 disks in a couple of months ago, and ive been playin all my back ups perfectly and all untill today =(, but now for some reason the backed up games i try to play stop playing after it loads in... ill explain in detail:

I load the Swap Magic DVD disk in... and turn the power of my ps2 on... and i wait, (sometimes my PS2 doesnt even read anything sometimes).. and the Swap Magic Menu comes up... and then the Swap Magic DVD stops loadin... yeah everythings all goin well still, and then i take out the Swap Magic DVD disk... and swap it with any of my backed up games... then i press X on my controller, the backed up game starts spinning... then the normal stuff comes up on any game, the menu and stuff, and when i start playing the game, or sometimes i dont even get to play, the backed up game just stops spinning, and then starts spinning again... its really frustrating, and if i try again, the game stops spinnin after about 10 min of playing time..... then stopping and then spinning again and making it freeze...i have tried this on all my backed up games, and this incident happens with all... i dunno what happened to my PS2 :(. . . what can it be, any solutions?

Sounds like either a problem with your laser, or the inside of your PS2 is getting mighty dusty. I had a problem like that in the past with my system, and I just cleaned it with an air blaster.

Don't know if that will solve your problem, though.

thanks for postin help for my help...means alot

so hmm you air blasted the ps2, that sounds like a good idea, but can i ask where you air blasted it on the ps2?...whats funny is that when i play my normal (original) ps2 bought games, they work flawlessly, with no disk stoppin or nothing, but if you can tell me where on the ps2 i should air blast it, id appreciate it man

- - -

and if anyone has any other suggestions, please feel free to say any of your thoughts that may or may not be able to help me, thanks...its just that this is pretty darn frustrating =(

you could try DVD-R or DVD+R dependinbg which you use now, some ps2's prefer one over the other.
