Got something for you to try Metal:
The PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system has an auto-diagnosis feature that automatically
adjusts the settings of the console to run your PlayStation(R)2 format software at optimum levels.
You may want to try the auto diagnosis feature to update the system settings when you experience
trouble playing PlayStation(R)2 format software. (The auto diagnosis will not improve playback
quality for the original PlayStation(R) format software titles; it is only good for PlayStation 2
format software titles.)
==================================
To use the auto diagnosis feature:
==================================
1) You must be in the "main menu" screen of the PlayStation 2 console
2) Highlight "Browser" and press the "triangle button"
3) Select "Console" using the up and down directional buttons and press the "Triangle" button
4) Press the "X" button and highlight "On" using the up and down directional buttons; press the "X"
button to confirm
5) Insert a disc. The console automatically starts the diagnosis
6) Press the "Circle" button two times to back out to the Browser Screen; highlight "Browser" and
press the "X" button. Once in the Browser, press the "X" button to load the game.
Please note: The diagnosis setting automatically returns to "Off" (default setting) when you press
the "Reset" button or start playing a PlayStation 2 format software title.
In addition, it is important to maintain your PlayStation 2 console by keeping the vents on the
console free of dust. Because dust can accumulate in the vents on both the front and rear panels of
the PlayStation 2 console, we recommend that you check the vents from time to time. After turning
off your console, and unplugging it from the electrical outlet, you may remove any accumulated dust
with the hose attachment of your vacuum cleaner or with a small handheld vacuum.
We also do not recommend the use of any type of lens cleaner. Doing so may actually cause more
problems for your PlayStation 2 console. Instead, we only recommend that you clean your PlayStation
and PlayStation 2 format software discs/DVD discs using lint-free "CD wipes" found at your local
software stores. When cleaning your discs, we recommend starting at the inside circle, and wiping
out to the edge in a straight line. We do not recommend wiping in a circle motion, as it may cause
scratches on the disc.
Im gonna try this out tonight in hopes that it will let me use my blue disks
