i would just like to know if anyone else has been having problems loading GT4 on the old style PS2? Also does anybody elses repetedly crash after finishing a race?
In my experience, lens cleaners do more harm than good.
i bought a lens cleaner CD yet it did not seem to do anything, i think my laser is just finished!
That sounds like a very similar thing then - mine went red as I said, but I have been lucky so far - its worked again afterwards. Have you tried a lens cleaner? I have used one and it seems to keep things running smoothly for a month or so after I use it.
the loading thing went red after a race, then nothing would happen most of the time, i tried opening the tray and blasting it with compressed air, it worked once and that is it.
I just think that my PS2 has got old and crap.

I've always had trouble reading DVDs with my PS2 (a launch machine), but have also had occasional trouble with GT4. Occasionally, after a race, the loading screen, rather than being the little white spinning meter down the bottom, was in fact red (though still spinning). This would go on for ages unless I did something, so I always assumed this was the PS2 struggling to read the disc. To cure it, I simply opened the tray, brushed off the disc, then put it back. Everything then loads to the place it should.
Thanks for th help, it does look a bit scratched, i am starting to get annoyed with the old PS2 now, i might see if i can get a new one, Gt4 is so addictive!
I had problems with my GT4 on my old PS2. Every time the game loaded, the screen just went black and nothing happened.
Turned out my useless PS2 was faulty and was scratching the discs. It ruined two copies of GT4.
Take a look at the disc to make sure it isn't scratched. If it is and you're pretty sure you haven't treated it badly, then there is a strong possibility it's your PS2 that's causing the problem.

I've had no problems with my game and i've got a playstation from the second lot that were made i believe. Pretty old one anyway and was one of the models that was being said to have been affected but like i said, no problems here
