Please try playing a real DVD movie disc to verify that your console's DVD laser works doing this can also recalibrate the laser which might solve the issue, as commented here. You do not need this exploit for a console with a modchip, but if you really want to try it some modchips offer the ability to temporarily disable themselves (by holding start when booting for example). Your PS2 has a modchip which is incorrectly preventing the DVD player from launching. PS2 detects the disc as 'PlayStation 2 disc' instead of 'DVD Video' in the browser

If still not working try placing some weight such as a book on the top of the console. Press the lid down hard to ensure the sensors detect that the lid is closed. Troubleshooting - please read if the above didn't work Problem If you want to add additional homebrew to your DVD / replace uLaunchELF, please read from Custom disc setup. It should boot into uLaunchELF within a few seconds.įrom uLaunchELF, you have the ability to run any homebrew you want over USB mass storage! Many people choose to run FreeMCBoot or Fortuna installer, as they find booting from a memory card more convenient. Insert the disc into your console, and wait. To do this, boot without a disc inserted, press Circle to enter System Configuration and set your system language to English.

Your console must be set to English language for the exploit to work (other languages cause memory contents to change). Please check following to ensure a good burn which the PS2 will be able to read:

This allows you to burn your own PlayStation 2 homebrew discs and play them on an unmodified console as seen in the demo video.
