Dude, what's with this?

[PhantasyHUmar]

When i try to play RPG maker, it starts reading the disk and making a LOUD buzzing-esque noise. I can't stand it. Why is this happening?

Re: Dude, what's with this?

1 or 2? are you trying to play 1 on a PS2? we need more info.

Re: Dude, what's with this?

My bad, my bad..

RPG Maker 2, nearly mint, no scratches, on a 4 year old PS2. Enough info?

Re: Dude, what's with this?

older PS2s have a hard time playing CD ROM games like RPG Maker 2. they're lighter than DVDs. I reccomend putting a thin, even layer of scotch tape ontop of the disc (not covering the hole) to weight it down a bit.

Re: Dude, what's with this?

Cool, I've heard of that, so I know exactly what you're talking about.

Now, to go on my own adventure. One to find the mythical "Scotch Tape" I've heard so much about :P *starts searching house*

Re: Dude, what's with this?

good luck. let me know if that doesnt work.

[PhantasyHUmar]

Re: Dude, what's with this?

No go, I put the stotch tape about 4 different ways and none worked.

Strange part is, I've never had this problem before...

Re: Dude, what's with this?

your lens is likely aligned wrong. you can fix this yourself (DANGEROUS!) by looking for info on the net, there's some pictorial guides out there. or you can call sony, and they'll fix it for free.

Re: Dude, what's with this?

Why does it only happen with RPG Maker 2? I was just playing DMC3 with no problems...

[Valkysas]

Re: Dude, what's with this?

I have no idea.

[PhantasyHUmar]

Re: Dude, what's with this?

Dang it, this is annoying me. Disgaea, DMC3, FF10, and Soul Caliber 2 all work fine, but RPG Maker 2 is being annoying as ****. The only game I want to play right now won't work.


Ah, whatever.

Thanks a ton for your help

Uhhh... huh.

So, any other ideas or am I screwed?

Re: Dude, what's with this?

if you're hell-bent on making your own game, and dont feel like getting your PS2 repaired to make one, you can always wait a few months for RPG Maker 3.

Re: Dude, what's with this?

Problem there is that I have a half made game with like, 200 hours of work already... on RPG Maker 2.
