Problems booting GetBass

[mib666]

I've got some problems with "Sega GetBass" (NTSC/JAP; Original DCROM).
The game doesn't start on my PAL DC using both GameShark and Codebreaker bootdeveices. There is an animated loading screen displayed and the game freezes. Could this be the result of some scratches on the disc ?

Has it worked before? If so, it's the scratches. If it hasn't, you might need to apply a patch to the cdi/img file. They have patches tha convert it from certain hertz to others.

I bought it from someone who claims that it worked fine but due to some very strange noises produced while reading the disc i'm not sure.
