Hey guys I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this really weird issue I'm having, my PS3 slim is running Evilnat 4.9 but I'm having one very specific weird issue that I'll throw out to see if anyone is having the same problem or encountered it. I've tested my entire PS3 collection of 49 PAL region games (I'm in the UK), they all work flawlessly except for Uncharted 1 & 2. I've been troubleshooting this for a while now.
Specifically; Uncharted 1 during the second cutscene with the latest update stutters and loses audio sync, and Uncharted 2 (original, not Platinum\Essentials release) is very uncooperative when it comes to launching. Both discs are perfect but even so I've cleaned them and even given them a resurface but the issues remain. Being an IT engineer I even opened up my PS3 and cleaned the laser with some 99.9% IPA and still no success.
I went out and bought 2 other copies of Uncharted 1 & 2, the alternative Uncharted 1 disc also stutters in the second cutscene and loses audio sync while the alternative Uncharted 2 disc (Platinum version) works fine. I'm beginning to wonder if there's an issue with the CFW and certain releases of games. I tested my original Uncharted 2 disc on a friends fat model PS3 and it works great so doesn't seem like there is an issue with the disc at all. The laser in my PS3 slim is a KEM450 (AAA, I think, I forget without opening the drive again) is there any known compatibility issues with this laser and certain copy protection measures?
Any ideas to shed some light on this issue would be great, I'm doubtful of a laser issue because all of my other games work totally fine. I've even checked RSX and CPU temps, both are totally fine never getting above about 61\68 full load in games like MGS4 and GTA4.
