I have recently tried burning 2 different games to Verbatim 12x DVD-R which are identified as Taiyo Yuden TYG03 with DVD Identifier.
I have tried burning the 2 separate images with Nero and DVD Decrypter.
And yes, my PS2 is modded.
My DVD burner is only capable of max speed of 4x though and I am burning at 4x. I am wondering if this is the cause of my PS2 failing to read the DVDs, as I have read suggestions on this forum of burn speeds between 8x to 12x for a 16x disc.
Well, that could be a factor if the other brands of media he was using were poor quality. It is common with all lasers (ps2/burner etc) that poorly manufactured discs will damage them over time..
Sorry for the typo/oversight/drunken stupor while posting/etc as indeed the spindle says 16x instead of 12x
I've tried burning the images with another burner at 8x but ended up with another 4 discs that won't boot (please insert a ps2/playstation disc error message).
The original discs of 4 randomly picked games run perfectly fine though, so are there any obvious tell-tale signs of a dying laser?
