If you are getting a disc read error then it's probably because you're laser is knackered. Have you tried PS2 blue discs of normal PS1 games to see if they will work? Also some chips have different boot methods. On mine I have to turn on the PS2 from the main power button then press the main power button twice when the blue light comes on to reset it and allow it to boot up PS1 games.
