would a DVD-r make the Differnce -vs- DVD-RW?

[ottoman]

The chances are with an old version one console that u wouldn't b able to read dvd-r either. The options are:

Replace the laser with a new one ( reasonably easy job, cost about £45)

Buy a new PS2 ( U could then get a pre modded PS2 with messiah 2 fitted).

Even if u can get it working u are using a neo mod which will seriously reduce what life u have left in your laser.

Had this problem with a version 4 PS2. Ended up replacing the laser. Took me about 20mins and worked perfectly without any setting up.

U should seriously think about getting rid of the neo mod though and getting a no-swap.

Regards......Good Luck!!

Let us know how you get on.
