Cursed Psx Iso's - Images Of The Hexxed Grasp!

[Weirdy]

I'm already getting freezes and stuff because I'm using old BIOS...the launch ones that is...good ol' 30001

About some of the things mentioned:

 

@Prican25

About that crazy drive searching, I'd bet that could harm the PS2 drive right? Do you know what exactly happens to the hardware when that happens, I hope nothing bad.

 

@SaiyenFire

Eeekk! PS2 Dying after hearing that noise?!

 

*Faints*

....two hours later

*Wakes up*

 

Good thing I have the burned version of Smackdown Here Comes the Pain...Stupid THQ.

prican, he is talking about ps1 isos, right?

i wouldn´t recommend using dvd rips in a cd cause i makes the laser as you say works like crazy and in the end will get your ps2 damaged. i would recommend too that you find out wich is your ps2 model and have a laser replacement, i got one in ebay for 35.00, most ps2 dead are because of the laser won´t read anymore so most people tends to buy a new ps2, dumb, also if you can, get a new model of magic chip.

Yeah, me and prican were talking about NBA Street Volume 2 making the ps2 rev up like crazy. The topic is about these ps1 iso's i burned not working and making weird noises inside the drive.

 

Thanks for the advice but I don't need to replace any lasers or chips, as I told you, its been only that game I've downloaded from Romulation, all my others games work fantastic. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my console (well, maybe having an old chip that takes a few tries to boot games once and awhile).

 

PS, whats with that DUMB remark?

It's possible to fix cd some CD drive problems, but if its the disk speed, just hope you didn't open it. Buying a new PS2 is much cheaper then sending your current PS2 to sony to get it fixed. It's not exactly dumb, and its not exactly smart either. The laser problem is the most easiest to fix if you know what your doing, but people don't want to do them unless their tech savvy and know what their doing.

This is exactly why I haven't modded my PS2 yet or fixed the lens and whatnot. I'm a total klutz when it comes to fixing/modding actual hardware.

Me too thats why I use bootdisks.

[ForceX]

Did you actually try to play the cursed disc in a modded PS1???

[lancerx]

When i meant "dumb" i meant that people don't think what could be wrong with their consoles or meybe they do but prefer to spend their money and buy a new one, i can't do that, but most of the time the problems are the lens or the tray that act like crazy, i know this because the other forum i hang is about ps2, and their problems and 95% of the time find a solution for it. As for example Prica25, he hangs at xbox-scene's forums as prican24 in emulation section and he helped me a lot with the neo geo roms, thanks man!!, i go to http://www.cdrom-guide.com/forums/forumdis...p?s=&forumid=15, there you can ask anything related to your ps2 or http://forums.afterdawn.com/ (they should payme for doing this )

 

IMHO i don't think the problem is with the iso, it has to be something else.

Like I said before, its for not for the technologically challenged. Most PS2's that came out during/around/2 months after the launch have lense problems which is fixable and a CD/DVD Rom speed problem which is only fixable on some later models of the PS2.

Actually, i've only tried playing it in the PS2, I don't have a ps1, heheh. After I found out it was cursed, I crushed the cd into a hundred pieces (seriously, I just tried to snap it in half and it exploded into a bunch of crumbs.)

 

@Lancerx

 

It makes me frustrated that you persist that its my ps2! Really, if you want to see for yourself to see which is the screwed up factor. Feel free to head to

 

-Link removed. Read board rules.-

 

and download FF5 from the iso section. Then we will see who's screwing what.

 

Well, to tell you honestly, I really don't want you to download it, and other people who read this topic. Please don't, I rather be thought of as wrong idiot, than to put another human being into what i've been through.

[Desaigy Ouimate]

have you tried booting in a vertical postition?

[NeoMaster]

Well, I think im getting closer to the answer.

 

I've concluded that it is not the iso's themselves, I borrowed a friend's psx game and and tried playing it in my ps2. It was burned on a memorex cd, however, after I tried to make a copy for myself on my personal spindle of memorex cds, that grinding stuff happened again!

 

So, it could be 2 possible reasons why this is happening.

 

1. The spindle which I bought is defected or different from the other Memorex cd's spindles in some way, the samsung 650 cdr's can't be read by the ps2, and they only work in computers/cd players etc.

 

2. My burner is messed up and its not making burning the iso's properly.

It could be just the medium that it's on. Better check out diffrent possiblities before fixing the spindle.

[NeoMaster]

Okay, I know what the problem is...its the CD's themselves! Today to test my theory, I went out and purchased some single Sony CDR's. I burned an ISO and it worked! I guess it was the spindle of cd's I currently have that are weird in ways only the cosmos knows.

 

Its really absurd, the cd's I burn using the "defective" spindle work in cd players/cd rom drives/dvd players, but they won't be read by the ps2 drive.

 

Is it some conspiracy that the big corporations are pulling to stop the ISO scene? Whos knows.

 

PS.

 

Im really sorry if i've scared anybody who had downloaded a rom from ******* or was planning to get iso's there. This was just a big mistake on my part. Never before has this type of thing happened before and when it did, I didn't know what to do about it.

 

Its just really strange how this CD memorex spindle i bought (plus the samsung 650's individually wrapped) won't work in the ps2 drive. I know Memorex cd's work for burning iso's, but for some reason, not this particular pack i have.
