Finding a CD/DVD copy that works.
castletonsnob:
Have you ever had trouble finding a copy of an older CD/DVD game that worked? I'm on my third copy of Final Fantasy X. The copies keep having moments where they take me to the PS2 screen that shows up when the console can't read the disc.

I'm pretty sure FF X is one of those discs that's double layered dvd or something?
aka first disc that a ps2 console is going to fail to read. your ps2 console laser is starting to go bad I'd say
games like god of war or rogue galaxy have these kinda discs.
would defo fit for FF X considering it's one of the best looking games on the system to use such a disc

It's pretty common for double-layered DVDs to fail?
All my other games work fine.

Not sure if you tried yet, but try hitting triangle at PS2 menu and adjusting texture mapping and disc speed. If the game discs look perfect. Then take a Q Tip gently with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol and dont soak it. But damp it. Let it air dry slightly than gently clean the eye of the ps2 optical drive. (If you have a slim. If you have a phat you may need to get one of those disc eye cleaners or take itnapart. Its kind of a pain in the rump)
If a console fails to load 3 different discs. Its almost always the console sadly. But a good eye clean, disassembly and dusting can do wonders.

You think it's the console? Like I said, my other games work fine.
