Finding a CD/DVD copy that works.

To me, it seems like the easiest way to determine if it's a hardware issue relating to your console being unable to play dual-layered discs like Final Fantasy X is to test out another disc of its kind.

What discs would that be?

OK, I looked it up, and Final Fantasy X isn't listed as a dual-layer game.

that do be interesting to hear, it is however one of the most heavy games on the system with more data however. I highly doubt it's the game's fault if you tried 3 in nice shape.

certain revisions of the ps2 have issues with playing certain games, even ps2 games. Wikipedia has however unfortunately removed the list of which models are incompatible with which games. kinda strange how that happened a couple years ago.

It doesn't seem to be in TOO bad shape.

it's a pretty cheap game, maybe cause this game is pretty much packed to the maximum it being in not superb shape could cause problems? could also just be a laser going weak problem however. maybe try with a near to mint copy next time and see if the issue persists?

if it's starting to get weak, games need to be in better shape for the console to read them withouth issues.

I'd still recommend at least giving the laser a clean with some alcohol though.
