Playstation 2 Laser Calibration

[Linchpin]

Wow! Lots of questions!

Ok, bloodline. 1st, clean the lens. If that doesnt work.. try running it upsidedown to the laser is hanging above the disk. But if you break it, not my fault :-D

If that works, its something to do with a worn laser mount / sled track.

Jump into the a.org chatroom, can answer easier in there.

I've been lucky with mine. Had it since 2001 and no problems. I think mine is a revision 4. I only got mine modded because I wanted to play NTSC games too. Twisted Metal Black NTSC version is not censored like the PAL version. IIRC the mod chip also kills the green screen and the region lock.

Playing backup's kills the lens's calibration cos the focal length is different.

Is there a difference between playing PAL and NTSC originals? (I haven't got any backups)

[Linchpin]

I dont think so ...
