It's to do with the not so high quality drive of the PS2 though you can sometimes get away with DVD-Video on RW Media, not great even though the PS2 does cache the video, but do-able games is almost impossible because of the dificulty the PS2 drives have with RW media, that is of lower quality
Aparently you can fine tune the PS2 DVD laser pot and if you are lucky enough not to turn it too far before it breaks you can sometimes get it reading DVD RW media for games
Strongly recomend against trying that though especially on a PS2, not all PS2 lasers can read RW media by turning the DVD pot and like I said if it goes too far the DVD Laser is dead, i.e. bricked PS2
Older consoles the pot can be tuned without risk but the PS2 was limited and if pushed will break
Google it though and there are methods to avoid over tuning the pot with a hardware mod on the PS2 mobo if I remember correctly (though the PS2 itself they made it difficult for you to get into it, not so much cracking the case open but getting to the laser pots ect..)
I forgot about the Xbox that can get away with quality DVD-/+RW but this media is of lower quality and is harder to read than quality DVD-/+R, personly I ftp everything so kinda forgot

For me I just done what I always have done.... be helpfull
I wasn't even here that long to be honest and was offered to me to become a mod. later admin and was told I earned it at the time
Retro, is a mixture of time active/approval and isn't much more than status, though there is a little more of the forum to explore but nothing too exciting, more like an extra free4all section
Mod/S.Mod/Admin is a little more than status though, this also enables tools to look after the forums and it's members aswell as to keep unwelcome members out... e.g. spam bots advertisers and general bad members if needs be, the not so pleasent side to being part of the staff
New staff members are few and far between though as we have a good solid active bunch, it's not very often this is revised unless there is a dropout in a needed section or admin
