Hi Lyndon M. So I reduced the fact that the laser might be not working propperly since it does play the audio CD's. Next I reduced the fact that the game disk is scratched because I tried all the disks I had from that time and also bought a complete new game (hahaha............. costs: € 2,00) that all didn't work. Are they all that bad? Anyway, next idea to deduct possibilities is that my PC reads the disks without any problems and I made a diskcopy on a brand new CD-ROM. Again the PSone does start up with the well known request for a memory card or adiou CD. Vaguely I think to remember that therer was somekind of keycombination of sequence that you need to press when starting up the PSone. I really think that might be anohter solution to this "Not reading Game Disks" problem. I really can't stand the fact that this beautiful piece of machine doesn't want to work. Any other options to try, anyone?
