Hello everyone. If you are unable to view the compatibility list, I’ve made this video for you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJCYdnungaZ5qbMsi=tvOSQynHdvEqj0t6

Yeah it’s so annoying honestly. I’ve always wanted something to JUST WORK. But I suppose with how old the ps2 is becoming, its laser just isn’t doing too well. Quality of disc matters once that laser starts running on fumes. Sad days

@@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!

[@rodrigorafael9514]

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

[@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.

[@user-co4ry5lf9s]

@@ImJecht so does that mean we have to use dvd+r Instead of dvd-r ? And can I know which dvd should I use in the compatibility list?

[@diogodomingos5537]

Honestly, this video is amazing! Thank you very much for the time and dedication spent on such a fantastic educational vid. I wanted to ask you a question but something tells me you'll take a while to see this message. Is it possible to use this method with CD-R to burn PS1 games? I mean, turning the .Bin file into an ISO and then patch it with the software you provided? I have no problem with PS2 games other than sometimes the game is unreadable like the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 I tried once. But the rest of my 25 DVD pack were burned successfully and are fully playable!

[@ImJecht]

So unfortunately the only way to play burned ps1 games is with FREEMCBOOT and the other ps1 specific methods. However, I’m working on a video that may make it possible. A lot has happened in the ps1/2 mod scene since I made this video! So my best advice is possibly just hold on tight. I’m a bit slow with getting videos out due to lack of free time but it should be a few days hopefully! I really do appreciate the kind words tho!

So I burned one of these discs for COD 3, and it boots, but the cutscenes lag really bad and each one second is extended to 5. Anyways to fix this?

[@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.

[@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

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.

[@ExquisiteTaco]

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!

[@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

Hello brother so if i idownload this patch and burn it on a disc and play it on my ps2 after that will i be able to play burned games? if i am wrong please correct me

[@ImJecht]

@@reksaba7580 this method requires you to burn games that have been put through the patcher shown. Those discs then can play on a ps2 that hasn’t been modified in any way. Essentially yes; it’ll allow you to play burned games (that have been patched via the method shown in the video)

i managed to get this to work the other day, thanks so much! my apologies if you mentioned this in the vid, but will this also work with ps1 isos on the ps2?

[@ImJecht]

Unfortunately not. Bc ps2 games (aside from the blue layered discs) use DVD. For those CD based ps2 games, you have to convert them to DVD then burn. I THINK I mentioned that. But taking a CD based aka PS1 game, not sure! It’s likely to not work but that’s an assumption. I linked a tutorial for converting CD based PS2 games to dvd. Could work? I haven’t tried! I’m glad you got the ps2 games to work tho!

@@evanknight8572 the reality is that it could be a few things. Bad PS2 laser, bad discs, bad burns. If you could specify the disc brand and the model # should be viewable on the ps2 powered on. I believe at the home page thing, you hit triangle and should show model

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

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

[@Scorp-tw8xd]

Could this work with CD-Rs if the game is small enough?

[@ImJecht]

Sadly, no. PS2 games are DVDs and the early ps2 games that are CD, I think, it’s hit or miss. I don’t know a lot about CD based PS2 games but found this: gbatemp.net/threads/burning-ps2-games-to-cd.392995/

Really great vid. The only thing thoe is I’ve burned two games games silent hill 2 and revenge of the sith. For some reason the menu screens for both games show and then the games cut to black and I am unable to play them at all. I am using a slim ps2 and burning on DVD+R DL disk. I am not sure if that’s the problem or not?

Hey man love the video! Quick questuon. If you were to put in a memory card into the ps2, is it then possible save your games? I'm getting a ps2 myself pretty soon to play through all the silent hill games but i was wondering if i have to start over every time i want to play😅

So I had the idea to do this with a double layer disc for God of War. I patched the ISO with Toxic DL then patched it with the ESR. After that I used ImgBurn to write the ISO to the disc (DVD+R DL) at 4x speed. It didn't work for me. I've got the 3.10 U ps2. I've got some of those Yuden DVD-Rs coming tomorrow and hope the regular ESR patch alone works for games that are under the 4.7gb limit.

Interesting! I have been wanting to play god of war so, when I have time today, I’ll try myself. And report back here!
