PS2 Mod Chipped Wont Play DVD-R Backups

I've got a PS2 which has been modchipped a few years back (uses DVD Region X to play CDR Backups).

I haven't been able to play DVD-R backups.

I've followed all the tutorials etc, but it just wont work. I've tried multiple apps to create and burn an image file, however the PS2 doesn't like it. I just get the red screen at boot.

I've tried using the Region X disc to no avail.....

I know my PS2 will read the media as I've backed up my DVD Movies and they play fine....I use Ridata DVD-R's.

Same thing happens when I burn to CDR, however this will start to load (for eg Harry Potter 2), but it freezes after it starts.

Do I need to buy a swap disc for the DVD-R's?

Or should I be able to play them already?

Also, why dont my CDR backups work when I burn them?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Simon
