Rockband on PS2 issues


Recommended Posts

Ok Rockband its sweet i love it. But it wont play on my slim ps2! everybody says o its the disc get a new one. i did that three times. me and the guy at gamestop are on a first name basis now. Anyway i put the disc in and i hear a little grinding noise but no spinning and when i open the drive up the disc hasnt moved. ive tried a bunch of my other games and they all work fine. so then i went to my buddies house who has the big ps2 the older one. and i put it in started right up... wtf you say! i agree.

Has anybody had any issues like this? i mean come on EA make it work. i read on the rockband forum that they made the disc thicker. but that just makes no sense to me. if anybody has a solution that would be great!

Did you try changing the orientation of your console? If it's standing up, lay it down. (Or the reverse.) It sounds like the drive isn't clamping the disc properly. You could try cleaning the rim where the hole is with some rubbing alcohol, too.

yah its laying down so thats not the problem. and we cleaned everything the disc just doesnt spin. you can hear it attempt but then it just stops and when you open it up its like it never moved which i guess it hasnt

nope just an attempt to spin

like is said in the first post all other games work

Well, sorry to hear that. I can't think of anything else to try that doesn't involve opening up the console. :(

this is illegal and im not going to say how im doing it but i ripped the disc on to my computer and im reburning it right now and hopefully that will work

firdt off if you was gonna play a backup game your PS2 needs to have 3rd party Mods to it in order to play but feel free to do things at your own risk

Like what mods are needed?

Why cant the disc just be played?

cause it cant . you have to go out and buy internal Mods ones that require you to solider some chips in and stuff, otherwize it wont play any disc you try and copy

thats bs. theres got to be away.

Ok Calm down and think a moment........... If you was able to just copy a game and play it by default on a retail non Moded console like yours then that would mean sony Nintendo and Microsoft would lose tones of money because everyone including parents would go oh ok and rent a game copy and burn and that is it

The Dreamcast was the only console (in recent memory) that used Disc media that could just "copy" games, and even then, you couldn't just copy your disc's, there was a special PITA proceedure using the modem or the network adaptor that let it happen, then there was the selfboot tools... etc etc.

lets say right of the bat, your copy will not work, flat out, nope, no chance in hell.

Can you test the disc at a friends house? PS2's are like a dime a dozen out there.

Otherwise, pack up the PS2, bring it to the Gamestop, show them whats happening, if it plays everything else, but not that, something is amiss either with your ps2 or the disc (my money is on the PS2 honestly)

i dont see why EA would refund your cash, think about this for a minute, the game plays on other ps2's that means theres no way its the game. its your console thats the problem, just because it can read other discs means nothing. rockband could use different parts of the disc than the other games yuouve tried.
