PS2 not reading PSX cds?
Ok I am so sorry if this doesn't belong inside this forum, but I couldn't find another forum with a more fitting description so here we go.
Yesterday I FINALLY from nowhere found FFVII in my closest video game store and to a good price too, so of course I couldn't do anything else than just give after for the impulse. Guy behind the desk let me take a look at the discs before I decided to purchase it too, and man not a single scratch or finger print on ANY of them (the FFVIII demo either.) It's like did the previous owner of the game even play it once?
Well. Awesome.
Well not so awesome, for some reason my PS2 decides to just make horrific noises when I put the CD in, like real KACHU KACHA KACHAN CHHHHHH noises. The FFVII demo and disc 2 and 3 works fine though. And I've been looking for any kind of clue why it's just disc 1 who's not working, and..it's..so clean. I've had this problem with the PS version of FFVI, but it works now. And the PS makes these sounds when I start playing FFVIII too, but it's fine in just some seconds really. NO problems at all with PS2 games. What could be wrong? I'm starting to wonder if my PS2 hates PSX games, but still doesn't make any sense why the FFVIII demo and the other discs worked, though they're just as clean as the first disc. God sorry for the wall of text, and again I apologize if this is the wrong forum. :>

OK! I made it work. Stupid enough of me there were this little string of dust attached that i didn't notice and I removed that and bam it's working again.
But I still wonder why my PS2 still sometimes throw a fit when it comes to reading PSX discs.

Another thing people may want to be wary of with playing PSX games on a PS2, is that PSX games won't play (for me at least) whenever I'm using a component connection to my TV. Make sure you KEEP the original RCA cables that come with the PS2. However, I can't remember exactly if the games themselves don't work, or there just isn't any picture on the TV.

Oh, thanks for replying guys, Guardian XIII that sounds like it would be a good idea, considering FFVIII is still acting up on me. : )
Now I'm having another problem with FFVII and I just don't understand what has happened. I started it up (disc 3, which I've been playing on and it's been fine) but now it's just acting up all of a sudden. I reset it once, and after that, the Highwind doesn't work. You can enter it, fly around with it, but it doesn't turn to the left or right or go down or up or anything. You can enter the cockpit and then go again, but for example it can't go down to smash into Ultimate Weapon or Northern Cavern for example, the game just doesn't react. And battles. The battle gauges load right up and the active character's name is blinking, but well would you look at that, no battle menu! So the only way I can win battles now is to hope for the enemies to attack Cloud so that he counters but really I don't think that's an effective strategy to beat Sephiroth. . ....not that I can get to him because of the malfunctioning Highwind. I guess I could take the CD and get someone to take a look at it just wondering if someone knows what could've happened...

Yeah i figured as much. Well of course I've tried with more games, and they..work just fine really. It's just the PSX games acting up from time to time, so probably it's the console. Thanks for the feedback! I'll get a friend over later I hope we can fix it with your suggestions. Guess we could start with to check if it works properly on another PS2 or something.
