Thread: ESR "Invalid Media in Drive" dont boot burned games

Try using a different brand of DVDs and make sure that they are -R and not +R.

What speed are you burning the image at?

Also:
I burn them with 4x speed.
Does it really have to be DVD-R?

Because I burned a DVD+R at the moment right now and it works! *very happy*

You will get bad burns (coasters) way more often with DVD+r. Get DVD-r like Warlock said and you will be much happier. DVD-r are closer (as far as the laser reading the disc) to retail pressed discs than +r media. This will mean longer life span for your ps2 laser.

Alright so u mean if I would play with dvd+r My ps2 will broken some day?
Wich burn speed I should use?

Edit:

The Game I burned goes slower as normal games, why?

Someday, all things will die. LOL :D

Burn speed varies. Some say use half the max speed of the DVD being burned. Other will say to burn it at the fastest speed.

To answer your other question, it's either a bad burn, ISO and/or media.

Hm... anyway if my laser should die I will use a extended Hard Drive :'D

HD loading is the way to go. You should look into OpenPS2Loader! XD

I Use TDK +R and burn on 1X or 2X speed just to be sure, i have the time. Verbatim are the best. Look at the serialnumber of your PS2. If it is SCPH 5.... or higher you can use DVD -R and DVD +R. When below you should only use DVD -R. Has something to do with the type of laser used in the older models.
