PS2 Unable to Run Burned DVDs Using Freemcboot

So I have some DVDs that I recently burned that I need to get running on my PS2. Just putting the discs in didn't work and I was told online I needed to use the ESR feature of Freemcboot. I tried just clicking on the ESR in the Freemcboot menu but that just gives me a black screen and that's it. So I went and used the image patching tool to patch the ISOs, burn them on some new discs on a lower speed than before, and tried again. But I still had the same thing happening. So I guess I'm missing something here. I'm very new to PS2 homebrew projects so there's probably a lot of stuff I'm probably missing, so any help on this project would be welcome.
 
Official or not? Official have security layers which needs to be dealt with (like checking original HDD existence, PS2 model etc.). Maybe @krHACKen has "cracked" them but I believe it is waste of time also for him.

Besides that, disc to be run by ESR must be patched by ESR Disc Patcher to turn them into fake DVD-Video.

For none official, You need to run Kernel Loader, have proper set environment in config on USB for it and Linux itself on USB. There was one distro with pendrive image to be written.

No it's not the official discs but it's the official ISOs I just burned onto the discs. Though I did already patch them before burning.
 
AFAIR, PS2 Linux is not compatible with ESR patching. I think the RTE starts and then it hangs somewhere after loading the kernel.

I think the "DVDV Direct OFF" version also failed, because it couldn't read some files or so...

AFAIR I tried it ~2008, so the memory is not quite the newest one.

However... The DVD-Video-Folders (&files) trick is enough, because Kernel-Loader has support for it, so place those folders&files on a disc and launch PS2 Linux via Kernel-Loader, because it should support it!

What exactly is this "Kernal-Loader", is it part of Freemcboot or some other software I need to get? If so, what exactly do I do with it?
 
Kernel Loader is a Linux-RTE for the PS2. It is a seperate program you need to download and launch, to launch a Linux-Distro.
 
Same problem with the port of " it's a me " famous character . Patched with FDVDB, boots with modchip but not without or with ESR .
 
There is none... Replace the 2nd IFO with your preferred ELF and keep the LBA-Positions of them...
 
Do you expect me to build the ISO for you?

Download the FDVDB ISO which is compatible with your console and rebuild the Video-DVD ISO or replace the second IFO in the ISO whilst keeping the LBAs in tact. Done...!
