Hello
Tdk dvd-r ,sony and record now max is a good choice for back-up ps2 games
The reason that your back-ups wokring 'sometimes' is obviously your modchip
Are you hearing strange noices from the dvd drive when you tring to play a back-up game?

Loader code contained in flash and upgradeable via software by the PS2 to support future feature enhancements. 2 copies of loader code stored in flash. Copy 1 is not upgradeable.
