a flashing disc and question mark while gameplay
 

while playing mgs3, a little icon comes up at random and the whole game pauses and the grey icon flashes back and forth between a disc and a queston mark. This is a burnt game burnt with dvd decrytptor, it has played for about 10 hours in the game and it just started doing this. what does this symbol mean? just that it cant read the disc?

yep that means it cant read the disc try better media or put in on hdl

well if theres any better media than TY for the price... then tell me :D

btw i figured it out. just found a weird thread on this forum telling me to use my forehead grease and/or nose grease residue.. ;\ so i went ahead and ran my finger wide accross my forehead and proceeded to gently apply it in the scratched areas. wiped off with a cotton shirt and YAY itworks :)

WTF I would like to see a link to that thread.

lol - that's a method??? :D

Probably learned it at Ownz :D
