PS1/2 Playstation 2 Cannot Read Backups

[RobertX]

I just bought a slim PS2 from a local video game store, and it won't boot PS2 game backups and backup movie DVDs. The message would just say "Could not read disc."

As a result, nothing burnt, like FreeDVDBoot, PS2 games patched using Jabu's patcher, and so forth can run on the PS2.

Here's my information:

Console: SCPH-77001
Browser: 1.40
CD Player: 2.00
Playstation Driver: 2.00
DVD Player:3.11U

Anything I did wrong?

Have you checked it can read legit discs? It could just be dead.

It does.

Basically, it runs everything that's not burnt, but runs legit games and DVD movies just fine.

EDIT: Here's what I did try:

• burn using CDBurnerXP with a 1x speed
  
• play a legit DVD movie (it can't play burnt DVD movies)
  
• turn on Diagnostic Mode
  
• burn at low and mid speeds
  
• use Verbatim AZO discs to patch games
  
• use Jabu to patch games
  
• use FreeDVDBoot

Are there units of Playstation 2s out there that are designed to not play burnt DVDs?

Not that I'm aware, but burnt discs can be harder to read. I wonder if there is a pot tweak that can be done on the PS2.
