Thread: PS2 game not opening

It loaded fine two days ago, and then yesterday all of a sudden it was corrupt. Is there any way to fix this? THANKS!!

I had this problem for ages, I looked in the disk thing and it said disk was unreadable.

Unless this game is scrathed of has a smudge on it, I'd say your lazer is broken or dirty so it can't read the game.

Or there's alot of dust in the ps2.

Now I clean my lazer a few times by breaking the seal and opening some areas with a screw driver, being incredibly careful. Then get a small cotton bud and a bit of gin and gently wipe the lazer.

It seemed to work for me.

Gin?

You can get second hand PS2s for about twenty pounds nowadays so try that if you're a bit nervous about opening it up.

Goldney speaks truth.


Buy a new one and play conker with the old one.

Huh. A new one, eh? Sooo but... is my memory card in tact then?

Your memory card should be unaffected.

Do other games work/does the game work without the memory card? I've corrupted my DDR data countless times before by accident >.<

Does anyone want my PS2 - been sitting in my cupboard for a few years now doing nothing...

I haven't checked that yet. I've been a bit lazy about it, but I will soon. Gaaah it would just suck so much ass if I lost my saved game... I'd have to go through all the boring easy levels to re-unlock the songs that actually matter. Ugh.
