Hello,
I have a PS2 Slim with a V1.2 Crystal Chip. I haven't played it in several years, but I don't remember ever having any problems. I tried to play a game recently and it didn't work. I re-flashed the chip's firmware and cleaned the lens, but it didn't help. After further testing I found:
1. Burned CDs with the Crystal Chip firmware and Boot manager work.
2. PS1 burned CD is recognized but won't boot.
3. Single layer PS2 original games are not recognized, get "The disc could not be read" message.
4. Single layer PS2 burned games are not recognized, get "The disc could not be read" message.
5. Dual layer PS2 original games play with no issues.
I also tried disabling the chip by pressing reset 6 times and I get similar results; dual layer games are the only ones that work.
Any ideas about what is going on?
Thanks
