Hay how can I play self-burned ps2 dvd on console witch fmcb and 3.000E drive?(sorry if my English is bad)
 
Starting from the V9 motherboard revision and above, attempting to insert burned or scratched discs into the console will result in the laser to burn out. Speculation suggests that Sony purposely implemented this flaw in an attempt to stop piracy. It is highly recommended that you install either the Matrix PIC Fix or the Romeo fix after you have installed a modchip.
 
isn't there a way to put tape over the sensors of the ps2? I vaguely remember this, and you didn't need a modchip, unless it was for the psx?

AFAIK swap trick on the PS2 also requires running some software, there was a pressed version many years ago IIRC.

There's also FreeDVDBoot too, but it only supports some PS2 slim models.

It seems they've updated since, according to the Github page, all slims are support with some phat support depending on the DVD player version:

The later versions of Swap Magic—being 3.6 and 3.8 Plus Coder (as previously mentioned)—allow you to execute an ELF file directly from either a memory card or a USB flash drive, making softmodding your system pretty easy to do.

most likely, yes, 3.6 and 3.8 even work on the ps3. I don't think it was ever fixed, at least per my knowledge.
It should work, however, you must have a PS2-compatible PS3 console to do so.
 
Personal recommendation would be to not use burned discs at all because they will read slower than proper discs, and wear the parts out more quickly due to bigger overhead from the shitty discs. Unless you got some expensive JVC discs still flying around.

I'd personally recommend dumping your games and putting them on an old HDD or even an old USB stick and booting them from there instead. Preserves the laser and if you find a cheap network adapter it will load the games faster in most cases as well.
