The optimal ps2 is one with a hard drive and freemcboot.

Certain models had really unreliable disc drives

Like for example, I have an SCPH-30001 that is infamous for its laser carraige going out of alignment. There were a lot of different drives designed for the thing so there's a lot that can go wrong

I don't know what I have, but it's bad to this day. Takes so many tries to get a game going.

Or just not loading anything at all. I remember the older black discs that some PS2 games were on didn't load after a while 😢

No that was fine, it was you slathering your gooey sausage fingers all over them after raw dogging that ice cream with your face.
