They need to be burned to a DVD, as CDs are not supported by ESR. You need to check a tutorial online on how to patch & make them work correctly.
It seems PS2 CD games have to be converted to DVD.
So, the official component cables arrived and although I don't notice a difference between them and the PS2 to HDMI adapter, I'm not having blackouts.
To have display in most PS1 (and some PS2) discs working on my HDTV via component cables (just like before with the PS2 to HDMI adapter), I had to follow
this (I didn't change offset settings but it still worked) and it seems I'll have to do it every time I want to have display in most PS1 (and some PS2) discs, which is annoying. What would I do if I didn't have a MC with FMCB and GSM? Would I have this issue on a modern TV if using Portta alongside component cables?
EDIT: Now I'm having some black screens. It seems the PS2 to HDMI adapter is the culprit, which I find it odd, since it's new.
EDIT 2: So, I bought
this SGEYR HDMI switch, a new TV (LG OLED42C26LB) and Portta alongside official component cables and I have to follow what I said to have display in most PS1 (and some PS2) discs. I no longer have black screens but when turning on the new HDMI switch with no devices connected to it turned on, its green LED stays in source 2 (L2), and after turning the HDMI switch first and the device that's connected to it but not to source 2 (L2) next, the HDMI switch's green LED changes from source 2 (L2) to whatever source the device is connected to and if turning on the device that's connected to the HDMI switch but not to source 2 (L2) first and the HDMI switch next, the HDMI's green LED changes from source 2 (L2) to whatever source the device is connected to.
EDIT 3: When clicking some of the set-top box's settings using LG's magic remote after setting the universal controller, the HDMI switch turns on.
EDIT 4: Now, my TV isn't saving the HDMI 4 input name I gave it ("PS TV/PS2/PS Classic") since it resets to "PS TV" every time I turn on the PS TV, PS2 or PS Classic connected to the TV's HDMI 4 input (via HDMI switch). When turning off the HDMI switch and the device connected to the TV's HDMI 4 input, the latter resets to the name I gave it ("PS TV/PS2/PS Classic").
EDIT 5: Now, every time I turn on the HDMI switch and the PS TV or the PS TV and the HDMI switch, the TV automatically switches to the TV's HDMI 4 input and if turning the PS TV on after turning the PS2 or the PSC on, the TV automatically switches to the PS TV (L1).
EDIT 6: I unchecked the "Enable HDMI Device Link" setting on the PS TV and I no longer have the 2 previous issues regarding the HDMI switch (and the PS TV). It seems I already had disabled the "Control for HDMI" setting on the PS3 and unchecked the "Enable HDMI Device Link" setting on the PS5.
EDIT 7: I'll stop clicking the PS5's external HDD's power strip's switch overnight because after doing it next time, the HDMI switch (which isn't even connected to the power strip but to the TV via USB cable [and HDMI cable]), the set-top box and sometimes (which I find it odd) the PS TV automatically turn on afterwards.
Also, it seems the PS5's external HDD is making a second noise even with the PS5 turned off and I have to click its power strip's switch or take its power cord to stop it as well.
EDIT 8: I might take the PS5's external HDD's power cord from the external HDD's power input from now on to stop these noises even if playing PS4 games on the PS5 will take longer since it will take some time to recognize the external HDD to load the PS4 games on it or to recognize the external HDD to install new PS4 games to it.
