[QUOTE="Foxi4, post: 4893427, member: 203855"] It's less a matter of timing and more a matter of auditory prowess. Timing may differ depending on the medium the disc was burnt on, the state of the laser and other factors while the actual reads as well as the movement of the lens will always be audible. As long as you listen to what's going on, you should be just fine, with or without the light. :P The process is very simple - Read the Table of Contents -> Go to the pre-set Security Ring position and perform disc verification -> Check the Table of Contents, read the Game Data and boot the Binary. Because the references to data are all in the Table of Contents, it's vital to have the correct one in-memory. The boot point of binaries is always the same, but audio tracks and other data rarely matches positions, so you will very likely experience glitches. I remember that there was also one method of a quad-swap that sort-of bruteforced really bitchy things to work, but I can't quite recall what it was. I'll post it if it crosses my mind, I don't think I had to use it very often - only when the games were really terribly burned. [B]Remember[/B], just because the game doesn't work doesn't mean that you're doing something wrong. Sometimes the discs you burn your stuff on... are... just... terrible for this purpose. The Sega Saturn CD lens is very picky, mine often turns its nose up at me when I try to feed it Tesco-branded CD's - she loves her high-end ones though. :P [/QUOTE]

only ps5 updated to latest firmware can go on psn, jailbroken ones just don't use psn or they risk getting flagged or banned, altho spouting profanity in online play alredy does that
