I just installed mcboot and tried to play some games that I made backups of. The mcboot start of thing came up and the esr autobooted with the game in it. I couldn't get any game to work accept for power pros which I got past the start up screen ,but then got black screened like I did with all the other games. I'm using memorex-R burning at 3x speed using imgburn. My laser might be going ,but I don't think so.
Do you think I should try diffrent discs or something else?

Edit: I did patch all of the isos
Playing from a ps2 slim no longer sure of the the version I think it's the 75xxx series

I usually burn them at 2x speeds but that shouldn't be the problem. Are they DvD-R and not DvD-RW, do you know if they are lastest version of esr loader and esr patcher?
When you load a game, does the screen stay black or flicker with color.

I'm not sure if they are dvd-rw ,but on the disc it says dvd-r and yes I'm using the latest version of esr launcher and patcher. The game that got to the starting screen flashed all the colors ,but all of the others just stayed black and then I just turned it off after 5 mins

So you are using good disc ( DvD-R aceptable, not sure about the brand but should be good).
Did you install freemcboot your self and how did you backup these games. If you can test the games to make sure they are not corrupted in a emulator we can see what is and isnt the problem.

Sorry forgot to come back here. All the games work perfectly in an emulator. I cleaned my laser so know it plays a few games but still not a lot of them. No I didn't install it myself I just asked a fried to give me one.

    @Psionic Roshambo, idk
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    its not the one that comes with the r4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    doesnt work (my flashcard is from r4isdhc.com)
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    might install ysmenu first
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, why?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
