I'm not too sure why. I just know that before I started backing up my games I read all the forums to find out how people were doing it and everyone was saying to use DVD-R and not DVD+R. I think it's because DVD-R is compatible with a wider range of set-top machines, including PS2. To be honest, I've never tried a DVD+R in my PS2 but I've read in various forums that it doesn't always work.

What media are you using?

Use Ritek G04, and use DVD Decrypter. Make sure it burns it as an .iso

Ok, well the only things I can thing of then is that you're using cheap, crappy media that doesn't work very well (I burn all my backups to Verbatim DVD-R and I swear by them 150%), or else you're burning them at too high a speed (you should burn them at the slowest speed your writer will allow; you really shouldn't burn faster than 2x).
Other than that, I'm out of ideas.

Thats untrue. You can burn as fast as your dvd burner and media combo allow. Cheap media is never a good idea.

if he tried everything with his burning stuff, and it's not working, then the problem is probably not with his burning. Maybe something is wrong with his chip/soldering.
Did you solder it yourself greenfly?
Did it work before?
