Cool video, as a former pirate I don't recommend playing burned discs mostly because it will wear your laser out faster than an original disc, and it can also damage your laser

[@d.agaming2534]

can you explain how pls?

[@hanzobi1926]

Not really, I have been in the console hacking/exploiting scene for 30 years using all types of CD and DVD based consoles. Self care and maintenance helps with HW, use high quality discs with a good branded writer (don't cheap out buying trash discs and writers). For older systems, lower burn speeds imo are better (some argue that it doesn't matter) but I have stuck with this rule since 1996 when burning PS1 discs and still use 4x for DVD/CD in 2025 for PS2 copies. Damaging lasers, the PS2 Slim 70K series had a bug or some say SONY booby trapped it, yet there was no proof but later SONY got sued and went to Court over it, since using copies, it was sometimes ran, randomly crash the mechacon and burn out the coils, making the laser fubared at some point. Apparently happened with originals but CD-R and DVD-R it was more prone to crash and fail. Best version of PS2 Slim is the 79K series, (no mechacon crash bug) and also, fixed the disc scratching issue of the laser ribbon, since SONY revised the shell to have small plastic grooves to place part of the ribbon into, so it didn't warp above the laser. The 90K series they went back to the original shell type, which was odd.

Is there a "gold standard" dvd for burning? im using memorex dvd-r's that i had laying around but im finding that they are riddled with issues. Namely, when any sort of pressure is on the right side of the disc tray, the disc stops spinning... which doesnt happen with official ps2 game discs. Armored Core 2 AA just doesnt work at all for me despite being listed as compatible, It'll read the game but freeze every time I start a mission.

[@Kraben12]

i burn diferent games all good but at some point the game stops loading some parts of the games, like GoW, the maps got stuck or it gives black screen when i pause

[@ImJecht]

from my experience, the only thing that determines whether a game will work well, is the quality of the disc or the quality of the burn. i know its a very vanilla response and can be annoying, but it cant be expressed enough. i hate how finnicky things can be in that case ugh im sorry

Quick question I got dvd+ r instead of - r and there not working too read any reason too why?

[@ImJecht]

as far as i know, the quality of the disc, as well as the burn, is all that matters. dvd-r is older and dvd+r is simply just a newer, more updated version of dvd-r. bc of this, dvd-r IS prone to having more issues.

[@ricochet6810]

Fallowed this for DBZ tenkaichi 3 and got stuck with a black screen. Any suggestions?

[@ImJecht]

So the rule of thumb for this, I’ve discovered, is that the ps2s laser just gets worse over time. As it does this, the quality of disc required for this goes up! This is why a lot of times, ps2s struggle to read blue backed ps2 discs. Over time, the disc quality got better! This was also the case with my console. I burned the disc and popped it into my console (90k ps2 slim) and got a black screen. Shit is annoying. I wish it worked right out the box but unfortunately there’s just more nuance to it. So I bought better quality discs and then it worked. Had a sigh of relief and never looked back. Definitely always make sure your TEST game is on the compatibility list. It’s great for establishing a baseline, to ensure you’ve done the process correctly & that the discs/console you have is working correctly. I wish it wasn’t such a “hope this works” thing but the reality is the quality of disc does matter and the weaker your ps2’s laser is, the higher the disc quality will need to be.

Hi, I just tried this with ape escape 2 and adventures of cookie and cream, and it doesn't load unfortunately, is there something that I'm missing? Do I have to mod the memory card or have any software on the ps2? I figured I could just do this with only burning the discs, but maybe I misunderstood

[@ImJecht]

it should 100% work by simply burning the disc. no mods needed whatsoever. when you put the disc in, are there any flashing colors on the screen or does it just go to the red "insert ps2 disc" screen, or just black?

[@ExquisiteTaco]

@@ImJecht I just put the disc in and it says "The disc could not be read." I know it can actually read discs though since I tested my copy of sly cooper and it ran fine I'll probably try it again later tonight. Also thank you so much for responding :)

[@ImJecht]

@@ExquisiteTaco the annoying thing is that it could be multiple things. The most common problem is see is a tie between a dirty or worn ps2 laser. The ps2s laser needs to be solid bc it works harder to read burned discs as opposed to official ps1/2 discs. The other could be the quality of disc. I couldn’t get this to work with my Sony DVDs so I had to buy better quality ones and it finally did work. Those often are the cause (it’s annoying I know, I’m sorry). I had a ps2 slim that wouldn’t read the disc and another that would. Simply due to a more worn laser. I’m more than willing to help you troubleshoot tho. And also you’re welcome!

[@bennimarru]

It keeps telling me it cannot read the disk. But it reads normal ps2 games just fine.

[@ImJecht]

I ran into this problem myself. I think I mentioned it in the video, I think. It’s why I ended up buying the discs I bought. Over time, the ps2s laser weakens. It’s either the lens on the ps2 is weak OR the disc isn’t a good quality OR some variation of that. The worst the condition of the laser reader lens (thing? Haha), the better quality the disc should be. For the record. As I said, this was my issue. It’s annoying. But buying the other discs made it work for me. Not something somebody wants to hear, I know :| I’m just saying, it was my issue.

[@red-man7017]

My question is why does it flash instead of showing the PS2 logo?

[@ImJecht]

i personally have no clue. but based on some factors, it may have something to do with: the ps2 isnt seeing the game as a ps2 disc, its being presented as a dvd. thats sort of the whole basis of why it works. youre basically tricking the ps2 into thinking youre playing a dvd. so from there, not sure haha

Honestly, this video is amazing! Thank you very much for the time and dedication spent on such a fantastic educational vid.

I honestly feel pretty dumb after realizing I just wasted 20euro on something I cant use.. if only I hadn't broken my FAT PS2 in my childhood years I'd still be able to use it. I appreciate the time you've taken to reply to my comments! I've already turned ON the notifications just in case you post a video :) Once again, thank you very much! Hope for nothing but the best for you! You're Awesome as well btw!

[@ImJecht]

@@domzkillaz if you have the same version as the one I have, in my video, then that means you spent 20euros on something you CAN use right? Or am I missing something!? You should be ok! To do the things

Hello chief, is there a way to do it for the ps2 fat ?

[@gamingit1]

Would this work on ps2 fat version?

[@19rainha1]

hi, I would like to ask you some questions, does this work with a 70004 ps2 slim and double layer dvds?

[@19rainha1]

also if it works with pal ps2 and pal isos

[@ImJecht]

It’ll work with that model! And the double dvd! As for PAL, I have to check if it’ll work with PAL games. Any game suggestions? I’ll try it out here in a bit!

Going to try this sometime this week and hope it still works

[@cy4n_knight_q8]

Didn't work :(. Maybe the DVD is the issue because it's not reading it at all like no red cubes or loading. Just opens the browser menu

[@ImJecht]

@@cy4n_knight_q8 I’m sorry it didn’t work. When this fails, it’s really only ever one of two things (or maybe both!): bad ps2 laser or bad disk. This will always work simply bc the ps2 will never get updates and stuff like that. I’m always willing to help, nonetheless!

[@Karla-os5wy]

Please make an updated video

[@ImJecht]

I will look into whether or not the FAT models are able to do this yet. However, there is a cool soft mod that may make that possible. It’s def worth a video!

[@cliff71ss]

So the Konsole means to start the Videoplayer but switches to the Game. Hope people understand IT a little better,cause the Video is confusing.

[@ImJecht]

I def didn’t mean to be confusing but also confess (in the video as well), I don’t fully understand how it works. But your comments actually give it great key details. I appreciate it!

Does it work on PS2 Fat Model without any problems if you play DVD-R Games?

[@ImJecht]

Unfortunately I don’t think this works on the FAT models yet :( Edit: unless there’s been changes since then: very possible!

[@tas-bj9rv]

Actually does!! Well atleast for sh2 will try some more games and tell how it goes

[@tas-bj9rv]

Sre the games region locked or it doesnt matter?

no region locks at all!

Would it work on a SCPH-30004 R?

This doesn't work after you try to come back so make it worth while. And download it before your banned from using the site.

Hey does this effect the fat ps2 as well?

[@user-hh1vr9sy3m]

Ps1 games are Mpeg 1 n 2 so if you burn them as a Super VCD they should work.

[@sakurabahfan]

Could explain burning them as a super vcd? I am interested in playing ps1 games on the ps2 slim. Would 700mb cd-r scratch that itch?

[@markussiofigo4512]

my ps2 slim doesnt read the disc

Wow that blank looks neat, like Taiyo Yuden for real??? Alas I only burning for fifth-gen consoles

[@HALFxLIFExII]

Hi! My PS2 is running older firmware, the DVD player says it's 2.10u, does that mean this will never work with it? Thank you for this amazing video I found it really helpful :)

[@ImJecht]

As long as it’s a slim! Then it should absolutely work!

[@marcelmunstermann3168]

Does this work with bin files too?

[@kuno4716]

could this work on an fat model?

[@ImJecht]

Unfortunately not. I do have a pretty solid way of doing something similar, on FAT models as well. It’s a video I’ll def be making as soon as I have the time!

[@redzbkx2906]

I just got a black ps2 slim, you think this will be okay for model SCPH-90001? I came across this video and I can't believe how you can just burn a game to a disc and play it??? its mind blowing!!!. I have a few more questions, are you able to save your progress from the burned dvd to a normal ps2 memory card? And what kind of disc are you using?? Sorry this is just too crazy 😂😂😂

[@ImJecht]

That’s the model I used in my video! Which is wild bc the 90k models struggled to do cool stuff for so long. But yeah that’s 100% all you do. I was blown away when I realized so little was documented about it online. Which is why I made my video! But yeah that’s it. Granted. Some people have said they didn’t get it to work. It can be a bad ps2 laser or a low quality disc. It didn’t work for me till I used a brand of disc called “Taiyo Yuden”. Which I didn’t even know existed till this but apparently it’s like mega high quality. Good luck! But that’s 100% all there is to it

[@redzbkx2906]

Update: You just made me go back to my childhood again, nostalgia overload!! THANK YOU! I bought Smartbuy brand professional DVD-R discs from amazon and used an external dvd drive to burn because my laptop didnt have a dvd/cd reader. I burned the iso into the disc with Imgburn at 2x speed after patching them with ESR. My first game was conflict vietnam. I really had my doubts that it would work but once I put the disc into my ps2 slim and started it, it loaded into the game. I was shocked. I also did it for 3 more games, no errors whatsoever, booted on the first try, had no trouble saving the progress of all games to my 8mb memory card either. This is truly the holy grail of modding.

[@n4te57er]

Very good video! This worked perfectly for me to burn Silent Hill 2! Unfortunately only for Silent Hill 2. Until now i tested it with Tony Hawk's Proskater 3 and Fifa 14 and WWE SVR07. When i boot up Tony Hawk's pro Skater 3, it wont let me pass the loading screen. For the case of Fifa and WWE SVR i just get a black screen. I used the same dvd-r's (brand: maxwell) and downloaded all iso's from the same website. Unfortunately i cant test more at the moment because i ran out of dvdr's xD Any suggestions? And another question i have is, if this patcher works for ps1 games on cdr's as well?

@@darriana7249 unfortunately not. There are methods of making ps1 games work though. I do plan on making a video!

ive been seeing alot of these online and im like that cant work without a mod. i was wrong i burned couple i owned and omg it works right away. i needed to go into my ps2 home menu and change the language off of English and back to English for it to work tho. i saw another comment similar to the language switch. after that it work god of war, kingdom hearts, silent hill, and more
