My guess is it's one of those few disc types that likes to stop playing nicely with the slim PS2s after a while. It'll probably work in a fat PS2.

@sjw It can still play silver games fine, and dvds, I'm not sure if it can still play cds, but probably not if they're like blue discs
@Jazzy_Butts @Jazzy_Butts @sjw The fat PS2's laser varies depending on the model number. Maybe that security chip that reads the disc is partially borked and can only read specific discs. The only workaround that I could think of relies on homebrewing. https://consolemods.org/wiki/PS2:PS2_Model_Differences
@Jazzy_Butts @berkberkman @Jazzy_Butts yeah that's possible too. I know there's even a handful of DVDs (IIRC the first Thor movie is one of them) that the fat PS2 can't play for this very reason.
Really hard to say without knowing what game it is and what model of PS2 it is.

The reason the fat PS2s don't like blue disks is because those are CD-ROMs and the infrared diod trends to burn out on fat PS2s meaning of it can't play blue games anymore it can't play CDs or PS2 games anymore either.
Not sure what the cause for the slim PS2s not liking the games with the copper tinge tho.
