Backups and lens
 

I have a version 7 PS2 with the no solder mod and swap magic and everytime I try playing my backups most of the backups always lag. But when I play with the originals it works without any problems. This problem is only happening with my dvd backups all the cdr backups work perfectly. I tried the same backups on a friends ps2 and they worked on his. So i was just wondering if there is any way to fix it and if it could be my lens.
Thanks

Your laser could need cleaning. What brand media you using?

definitely has the charictaristics of a dirty laser, or it may be ready to give out. Try Bighap's suggestion and try cleaning it, and see if you get any results.

Im using verbatim dvdr's. I think it could be the brand because I tried a friends Kingdom hearts thats burned on a Maxell dvdr and it worked. Ill also give cleaning it a try.
Thanks

Although Verbatim recommended by lots of people it's a matter of what yr own ps2 will play. Steer clear of inkjet printable verbatims an try something wiv a darker surface like dvd master or traxdata an definitely give a really good clean with laser head cleaner. Makes all the difference

Hi guys! I have the same problem. I'm using Traxdata dvd-r, mastered with a Toshiba SD-R5002. I also tried to clean the lense with a DVD lense Cleaner, but it didn't help. I have an SCPH-30004 PS2 with a Messiah 2 installed on it. Before I hade a NEO 2.2 modchip. I heard that this kind of modchip can ruin your lenses. is it true?

Yes its true.



Tyler!

Ok, thanks. But could be this the reason why my ps2 won't read any dvd backup?

Yep.
