perhaps you could try the playstation driver, just use the triangle button and go to "playsation driver" and play with the settings

also try another PS1 game outside of chrono trigger and see if it works

Maybe it's a fickle PS2 and doesn't like the way it's sitting. If it's flat, stand it up, vice-versa.

It is a very rare occurance but the disc itself could be flawed.

I've bought a brand new "Dragon Warrior VII" and it froze when I tried to enter battles. I cleaned the disc and everything and it was the same.

So, then I sent it back and bought another copy of it, and it ran perfectly.

The tape thing does indeed work. It's worked for me quite a few times. Not always, but often enough.

I also use the fake-out trick. Insert a PS2 game and let it load to the starting screen. Then extract the disc (dont reset) and insert the PSX game and reset.

Sounds like you have a form of the DRE(Disk Read Error) it happens to everybody at one point or another. I found an awesome tutorial on how to repair your PS2 yourself. I did it earlire and now mine works like new! I was having the exact same problems you were except I was not able to play PSOne games but able to play PS2 games, lol.

Go here and read this tutorial.

::Note:: If you don't have a TINY Phillips head screw driver I found that a normal Steak knife works just as good.. lol. This tutorial took me a little over an hour to complete, this includes opening the PS2 case, taking out all the screws and removing the cover from the CD drive and cleaning the eye very carefully and re-adjusting the eye to the Default position(This is what fixes it).
