So there you have it, the system needs to be modded for those "Players" games to work. And my disk does have Suikoden II printed on the centre ring like the copy of 2Xtreme that PapaStu described.
that proves your disc doesn't have those bad sectors
but i wonder if there ever were bootlegs pressed that did have this
