EDIT: Scratch that... I seem to be having problems getting files properly uploaded to the Maxdrive. Like TLR's replay that I tried to watch, this one is corrupted somehow.
It's no problem at all, I like to watch and learn from others
As for disc errors; I have a slimline and frequently have loading problems, what works for me is to simply open the lid and clean the lense "eye" with a q-tip soaked in rubbing alcohol. Might help you out 👍
I've just recently started having similar issues, the MAX Drive disk always used to work fine, but just recently it'll only work if I stand the PS2 up vertically instead of horizontally where its always sat!
It's one of the olde-brick PS2s that I've had since 2001.
It's only that one disk that requires it too! Weird.
