Hello, i recently bought driver 2 on ps1 and was gonna playthrough it on ps2 but everytime i start a game the loading screen will freeze on the very last bar of loading. I have a fat PS2 is great condition and has read worse ps1 discs before, I've cleaned the disc 3 times and checked for deep scratches which weren't present on it, I don't have a mod chip either. The game works on my PS3 with no issues (besides graphics glitches). I've gotten the game to work once on standard disc speed but it always freezes on fast. Any solutions to this probably? (P.S do not recommend ReDriver2, i already have redriver2 and i just want to play ps2 for now)

It might be a issue with your PS2's laser if the disk isn't badly scratched, the only other option would be to play on a normal disk speed and do a run that way unfortunately. After this I've no other ideas to help with the situation sorry :/

dang alright, i was thinking about getting a new copy anyways but thanks for the response!
