I made an iso from one of my cd,s using dvd dycripter and burnt it to a dvd but when i stuck it my ps2 it wouldnt work.

Your PS2 isn't reading original CD's? If you want your PS2 to read any sort of burned CD or DVD, you need to have it modded, or have a way of swapping discs. Also, I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think CD based games will run on DVD's. I may be wrong.

Thanks for quick reply.

My ps2 is chipped,and it still reads original cd's,but it wont read burnt cd's(i think the lazers on its way out).
i once downloaded a ps2 game which i know is a cd based game(it was an iso and it was smaller than 750mb),when i used alcohol to burn it it would only let me burn it to a dvd,so going by this i think it might be possible,

What kind of chip did you buy? Sounds dumb, but maybe the chip only let's the PS2 read burned PS2 games. It only allowed you to burn to DVD, were your options set to Playstation 2? If so, that could be why. I'm guessing maybe if you had it set to PS2, it'll only burn to DVD's, which most PS2 games are on.

Simply burning a PS2-CD game image to a DVD won't work.

Is this the first burned CD game you've tried to run? What type was it?

What you can do is converting your cd games to dvd games, it won't work for every game but it's worth to try since there are a lot of games where this method will work.

Saito wrote a good tutorial on how to do it and the tools needed are posted in this thread too:

Well, what actually happens is any PS2 game has "checks" in it. If a particular PS2 game is a CD game, then it has "CD checks" embedded in it. So, all you need to do is make an ISO of that game and get a program to scan that ISO for "checks" and convert em from "CD checks" to "DVD checks" so that when that game is booted up on a PS2 thru DVD, it will find all the "DVD checks" in place and run the game.

Although as Cookie Monster said, this method might not be possible for every CD game. That link seems to be really good if you wanna get started.

The same thing happened to my modded PS2. It won't boot any PS2 CD games anymore. Its kinda like almost 4 years old, so I think the laser is getting weak or somethin . The only CD game that I was interested in using was Gameshark 2 v4 so I can cheat but since my PS2 stopped booting CD games, I googled up loads of stuff (kinda like the ones given in that link) and read up on many articles posted by various people on various forums. Downloaded a program that would find all the "checks" and fix em as required, and guess what, IT WORKED It just worked perfectly

Now am booting Gameshark 2 v4.0 (which is actually a CD game burned on a DVD) without any problems and the codes seem to work just fine , although I've recently shifted my interest from Gameshark to Codebreaker due to BETTER CODES

You are welcome, but it's all saito's merit
