When I insert a disk (a dvd or a PS4 game), the PS4 doesn't do anything. He is not rejecting it... He does'nt recognize the game/dvd.. Can you help me ?

If it does this with all disks then the unit is NG. If only with one disk, then the disk is damaged and cannot be read by the player.

Ps3 won't play dvd once it is inserted

Is it a regular DVD? Or a burned one. It is possible, that if it was a burned copy, the format might not be supported. If it is a regular DVD, than only 2 options it could be. The easy one is, check the DVD. Are there any big scratches or smudges that would cause it not to read. If it is a new DVD, than there is a real possibility that your Blue-Ray disk drive is on it's last leg and will need to be replaced.

I do not know what to do says Please insert PlayStation or PlayStation 2 format disc. Please read it if you write to me with otgovor.A'm desperate.

if the disk is a Blueback, most modern PS2 consoles won't touch it. bluebacked disks still have their data stored in CD format rather than in a Data DVD

to play a Blueback
1. turn on the unit without a disk in
2. press Triangle on "browser"
3. scroll up to the top item and press triangle again
4. turn "Diagnostic Mode" ON
5. back out with circle, and start the browser
6. put your disk in with the browser on. is should read the disk

some disks will still cause the red screen (like cheat devices) occasionally

I'm having a problem because it won't read that it has a dvd or a game in it. Tried everything not sure what to do.

1, Check if its a problem with the disk, if its the ps3 send it to repair you might even get a new one 2. If its the disk , Buy a new disk, if it happens again, check if it happens to alll disks if it does >>> 3. You must buy games from the PlayStation Store. They have some pretty good deals too :P


Thanks if i hapled plz rateee "P

How to pirate my game

Hi mate,

I use DVD Decrypter. Change the "Mode" settings to read the PS2 disk as an ISO file. After it's completed, change the "Mode" settings again to write ISO, and insert your blank disk!

This "back-ups" your legally purchased PS2 games as a ISO file to any blank dvd disk.

A word to the wise, don't use the heading "pirate" in any forums. The Sony corp is listening!! LOL!

Regards

Formatting

Hi,

By formatting a disk, your actually creating a Blank-Disk.

The PS2 won,t read a blank disk.

is your console Saying " disk format Unknown "

This is a completely different Issue.

In this case, the PS2 does not play this type of Disk.

Ps2 keeps saying disk read error everytime disk is put in no matter what disk is put in what can i do to fix

  • Confirm the disc is inserted correctly into the PlayStation 2 console (label side should be facing up when the PlayStation 2 console is in the horizontal position).
  • Confirm the disc is clean. To clean a disc, use lint-free cleaning cloths made specifically for cleaning CD/DVD discs, sold at computer software stores. When cleaning the disc, we recommend starting from the innermost circle, and wiping out to the edge in a straight line. We do not recommend wiping in a circular motion, as it may create more scratches on the disc. [Note: Other materials, such as a paper towel or a T-shirt, may also scratch the disc. If there are any scratches, smudges, or fingerprints on the disc, it may not function properly.]
  • Try playing different CDs, DVDs, and games on the PlayStation 2 console to see if the problem exists across multiple discs.
  • To determine if the problem is with the disc itself, try playing the disc on a different PlayStation 2 console (or a PS oneTM or a standalone CD/DVD player, if applicable).
  • Confirm that you are not using any game modification devices. Unlicensed devices such as game modification devices can interfere with the proper function of the software. We do not recommend the use of any game modification devices or unlicensed products[1].

It may be that the laser is aligning itself after trying to run the disc, you may need to run a cd cleaning and aligning disc in the playstation, although, it maybe that the laser is on it's way out.
