Please help!
When I first turn on my PS2, any PS2 game will load. If I then switch games and press the reset button, the new game won\'t load.  Even if I put the system on Standby and then try to restart the machine.  It seems that a cold-boot is the only way I can load a new game (turning the power completely off).

Has anyone else had a similar problem or can offer a suggestion?

When you had your original PSX, the main way to restart the machine was to turn it off, insert the new game and then turn the power on so why is doing a cold boot a daunting task?  You should be happy it works and that you have one.  However, why not trying to enter the browser portion of the machine and entering the game through there and if it still doesn\'t work then try and use a DVD instead or a music CD.  test the damn thing and get me some results :)

I met him 15 years ago, I was told there was nothing left, no reason, no concious, no understanding and even the most rudamentory sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong, I met this 6 year old child with this blang pale emotionless face and, the blackest eyes, the devils eyes, I spent 8 years trying to reach him, and then another 7 trying to keep him locked up because I realised what was living behind that boys eyes was purly and simply evil.

I never put my ps2 in standby mode.  I feel scared that something bad will happen to it.  I treat it like a baby.  Always with care towards it!

I wish Sony would have made the PS2 more durable.  It seems as if it can easily break.

It seems as if the people [casual gamers] that we consider to know absolutely nothing are the ones that actually know the most important thing: Name brands don\'t make the console, games do.

LOL Same here! I treat it like gold, there isn\'t a spec of dust on it either.

I know some people that think it is better to leave their PCs on standby instead of shuting it down because they think starting it up from cold causes more wear and tear.  This could also be true of PS2.  As long as you have it hooked up to a good surge protector, you shouldn\'t worry about leaving it on standby.

I don\'t have that problem..

I just reset the console, get the game disk out and change another one and it\'ll launch up...

But I don\'t see it as problem; I think this can be possible by my PS2 version ( 1.10 ), or then not. I don\'t know.
