psuett - what format are the files you downloaded? What filetype? They MUST be .max to go onto the max drive. You may need to unzip or unrar them first.

Hi
I dont want to sound like an ass, but I am having some serious problems with my Max Drive. It has worked before but these days it will only work once in a million times. But these days I get a DRE message.
SO...

1) What is the best position for my ps2 to be in? When vertical the disc tray goes, but comes out immediatley due to the mini disc thing falling to the bottom of the tray. Everyone seems to suggest Horizontal, and I have te ability to wedge the ps2 between the Sky box and the wall at a jaunty diagonal angle. What is the best?

2) Can I clean the disc in some way? Soap, water etc?

3) Are there any flukey or odd ways to get it to work? My mate told me to stick it to a blank perspex disc which you get at the top of rewritable CDR things. Is there a way you can use your fingers to grip the ps2? .....or something. Somewhere, someone mentioned a finger pressure trick for DREs what is that and will it help me.

I sound like I am demanding but I am not, I am just begging, pleading and praying on you to answer my prayers. PLEASE



AMEN

Use a CD lens cleaner, or check my thread in the gaming section which deals with how to fix DREs.

I usually have my PS2 in the horizontal position.

Hi.

1) I think horizontal is best to make sure the disk is in the right position. Vertical is dodgy as the disk always falls out.

2) Use one of those soft cloths for cleaning eye-glasses and gently wipe from the centre of the outwards in straight lines to the edge. Then turn the disk a little and repeat.

3) Turn off the PS2 from the back and wait 10 seconds before trying to load it again if it doesn't work.

Major thanks to both of you, I am gonna try your suggestions ASAP.

I own the 4gamers DVD Laser lens Cleaner which I don't know if you guys have used, or do you know which are the best lens cleaner discs there are around?

Many thanks again for the ideas if all else fails I am gonna get an X port. Which may I add Play are out of stock. Grumble Grumble :realmad: RANT OVER!!


Edit: Tried all the suggestions still no luck (including Lens cleaner). Thanks for the suggestions but I have decided that I am gonna go and get an X port. The only places it seems I can buy them are Play.com and Amazon. I think it's £25 on Amazon which is a bit dear and Play have sold out. Anyone know somewhere else I can get one?

I've only found that you can have only one on each memory card, the game seems to ignore the other one.

Hola, when you said you tried all the instructions did you follow my walkthrough? (Taking the PS2 covers off and cleaning it from inside)

The program will ask you if you want to overwrite the existing file. All versions of PES/WE can only recognise one option file on each memory card and so you can't choose which gets loaded. If you want more than one file then you need to put each one on a different mem card.

Nah, but i am probably gonna give it a try with my dad tonight or something.

I know this is kinda the wrong place and I know you just posted the guide and didn't 'invent' it, but I didn't get the bit about not blinding yourself with the laser. Fairly vital I know but do you...

1) ps2 off throughout early stages
2) Hook up to T.V
3) Lid on gently
4) ps2 on
5) Disc tray eject, Disc in (see if it loads)
6) Then turn it off, and jiggle the insides about again

I think that is right, and I have some common sense, just wanted confirmation.

P.S. The guide you posted looks immense and seems fairly easy. Definatley gonna have a go.

Just follow the guide, you can't go wrong with it.

And the laser bit is easy, just don't stick you eyes anywhere near it. ;) You should be fine.
