DJPrototypeX

1.)Is there a problem with the blue discs?...i mean everytime i play one, they hum...u hear a hummin goin on...i've tested em on my friends and my gfs...the blue discs hum...is that a prob?

2.)Does playin DVDs screw up the laser?...i heard a rumor that it did...my cousin tried playin Virtua Fighter 4 (Blue Disc) and it wouldnt load...read "disc error"...i popped it into mine when i got home and it worked fine...he plays alot of DVDs...its basically a DVD player considerin he doesnt play it much beside watchin movies...

3.)STUPID QUESTION...whats the diff between the blue discs and the non-blue discs?...jus wonderin...

4.)Under the PlayStation option...it says somethin bout Texture Mapping: Standard or Smooth...wtf is it?...LMAo...

obviously i'm not a very technically smart person...but i'm jus wonderin...any help would be great...thankx in advance!!!

1)Never had a problem with blue discs but I've never really listened closely to the noise it makes.

2)Well, since most PS2 games are dvds, I can't see how DvDs could damage the laser... it's meant to read dvds...

3)The blue discs are cds while the non-blue ones are dvds.

4)Go with smooth. It'll make those primitive textures in PSone games look somewhat better/smoother... useless unless you're using PSone games. Standard just leaves it PSone style...

Do you have a PS2 that came out during the first shipment on the day it released? If so, those PS2s had problems with their lenses deteriating.

1)There is no problem with the disc or your ps2. You only need to be concerned if the hum turns into a chainsaw like sound.
2)I heard DVD movies can screw it up, but I dunno how true it is.
3)Blue are cd's, silver are dvd's
4)It's for when you play psx games, putting it on smooth is supposed to make 3d graphics look better, but I dont really notice anything.

1. I doubt theres a problem since a lot of PS2 games are blue discs. It's probably just a sound u have to get used to.

2. Maybe he doesn't have a modchip, maybe his gameshark (either chip or cd) is damaged, maybe his ps2 is one of the screwed up ones from the factory, maybe it was overheated.
