Most of my backups have been successful except for GTA San Andreas, Bully, and FIFA 2004 and I cant find out what the problem is.
I'm pretty sure its not my drive because ive burnt numerous games on it before and no problems, just on those 3 games. Im using taiyo yudens (TYG02).
All of the games boot up fine but have very slow loading times and freeze constantly, and have been wondering if its just the age of my laser (v4 ps2 i think)
It could very well be your laser is starting to go being a V4
and all games are starting to freeze etc.
You have good media, so thats out, unless they are dirty or scratched.
Did you burn them at 4x or higher
If your disks are +R, ,make sure you have BOOKTYPE set to DVD-ROM in your burning program.
