I just bought a used copy of Rogue Galaxy. It has very minor scratches, but everytime I put it in, my PS2 wont even read it. It says "reading disc" then just completely stops and im staring at my memory cards. I've tried to other games, DMC3 (brand new), works fine. And Romance of the Three Kingdoms (used with alot of scratches) and that also works fine. I bought a system cleaning kit at FYE, and when I used that it said "disc read error". Any suggestions?
This may narrow it down for you. RG is a DVD9 game, meaning that it has 9 layers. RPGs have a lot of cut scenes which takes up disc space. The older model PS2 wont read DVD9 games. Not to dis on the other answers, But the PS2 never played Blu-ray discs only the PS3 does that. If its a slim version, then your losing laser voltage. No biggie, any dvd repair place should be able to tune it up for you just tell them you want to tune the DVD laser to 950 ohms. that should work. The suggestion about swap magic discs might work also. Its not always how many scratches a disc has but WHERE the scratches are. Each disc has to validate the disc as a real copy, and if a scratch is impeding the laser, It may never read the disc as legit and wont play.
