    Is the disc scratched or degraded?

    First rule, dump it as it. Set the the read retry very high.

    Then clean it a bit, do it again.

    Lastly, polish it and try again. If you polish it, you need to protect the top so it doesn't damage.

    Last time I did this I mounted the disc label side down using a plastic retainer through the hole and buffed it carefully with polishing compound. You don't want the disc to spin at all.

    If you're running PAL discs on NTSC consoles or the opposite, you will *ALWAYS* get a corrupted "PlayStation 2" logo. The logo for PAL consoles are in a different resolution.

    Edit: Screw modchips.
