I bought a game last week called SONIC RIDERS and when i put it in my ps2 screen says 'insert a playstation or a plastation 2 format disc' why is it doing this
T's not asking for a specific disc, it's asking for a properly formatted PlayStation disc.
This message could mean that any one of several things has happened:
* You are trying to play a Japanese disc on a US PS2, or vice versa
* You are trying to play a game that has been copied onto a CD-R/DVD-R
* Your disc is scratched/dirty/otherwise unreadable
* Your disc isn't a format that the PS2 recognises (i.e. CD, DVD, PS CD-ROM, PS2 CD-ROM, PS2 DVD-ROM, etc)
* Your PS2 is broken
The problem is that this code is generic and not real specific. It used to happen to me all the time. It could mean that the disc is dirty or scratched, the lens needs cleaning or it could mean that your PS2 is being stupid not wanting to read the disc. If the disc is dirty just take some eye glass cleaner and wipe from the center to the outer edge of the disc. If it is scratched, you can take it in to be resurfaced. This usually cost about five dollars. A lens cleaner is about the same depending on where you go. You may want to invest in a can of air duster. Somtimes the dust inside it makes it go haywire.
