Are you certain the CD's were not CDR's or pirate silver CD's (commonly called HK's) that you were trying? If the CD surface was not black, it will not boot on a Yaroze. The Yaroze still checks for a valid ECC header or "wiz" code that all authorized PlayStation CD's have. The only PlayStation's that do not check for all codes (that Sony sells) are the professional blue or green debug units. Best Regards, Jerry Jessop SCEA Hardware Engineer Sean D.
