Installed freepsxboot onto ps1(still with expanstion port and reset button) but cannot make it to play burnt discs i recalibrated it to a specfic resistance that i checked on youtube still nothing any ideas what could be wrong it always says disc unlock 2 then fails to run disc.
 
Hmm... 🤔
Did you try booting a burned CD as if it was a legit PS1 CD?
Because if the drive can read it, the "Please insert a PlayStation format disc" screen should appear.
If not, then the drive could be worn...
 
If you have a FCMB PS2 put in a real PS1 game then reset it while holding L1 eject the game when the menu pops put in a burnt one and it will work
 
I had issues with mine.
I thought I needed to calibrate the Oms, but I found it is not recommended at all, except as last resort.

First you must disassemble the Disk Module, and use White Lithium lubricant to replace the dry lubricant that came with the console. But first wash it thoroughly with hot water and or isopropil alcohol to remove all the residues.
After lubricating my PSOne worked like new, no need to make the laser burn hotter (and live less).

This is just my experience, I do not know if this is your case.
