Well, today I loaded Shadow Hearts2, and it started in one go, no "reseting 50 times". I mentioned the media I'm using above, but I'm not sure at all what the store is using, because unlike the blue/purple underside that normal blank dvd's have, the ones they use has kind of a goldish, yellowish underside, which is definitely something regular blank dvd's don't have.

And I read how to adjust the laser, but the weird thing is that I can't see the cog they are saying to turn. My top cover is off, so I can see the disc, if I eject the tray, the whole thing is wide open, but I can't see for damn any cogs or shit, only the laser head, (which comes up and down with the power)
