dude can use water..ur shirt is perfect...what do mean by rough!?... u put the disk in the load tray and it does the rest

Many times when the laser is failing the PS2 won't read DVDs or DVD based games but will read CD based games, like early PS2 (purple bottom) or PSX games.

Unless you've used it pretty heavily, the laser lens should just need a good cleaning. Get a container of isopropyl alcohol and some cotton swabs. Swab it GENTLY and leave it dry, then try again. Don't try anything until you have those two things on hand.

If that doesn't do anything, you will need a new laser lens.

where does the alcohol thing come from?....ive always used a damp shirt cleaned it dryed it and on my way to play

Don't do this Soriku. Get isopropyl alcohol from a drug store/pharmacy.

its in my top 5 fav PS2 games...youve been to slim hill right????

Which is confusing when you say you have an original ps2 in the OP, but actually have a slimline.

i have both..PS2 phats have the tray that comes out you put the disk in and u push the tfay in...are you talking bout that???

yea im also confused on a damp shirt vs alchol its always worked with me

Water won't clean your lens. Tap water has minerals and chemicals in it, I assume you don't have access to distilled water.

Should be a few dollars, yeah. 70% iso is fine.

dude yo kno king Metal slims give you 13k right?
