I'm not suggesting that SA2 causes permanent problems with lockups, but it is suspicious that my machine ####ted locking up on about 50-60% of my games only after experiencing lockups on SA2. It could've been that my DC is just ####ting to overheat and it ####ted showing signs while playing SA2 for the first time. It could also be, as I mentioned before, the dye "settling in" to a less readable state after the disc cools from the initial burn (this is just a wild theory). It seems that even after the DC ####ted locking up on many of my games, new games work just fine - for the first one or two times I use them, then they too ####t locking up. I always test a game immediately after burning it and they all booted and worked fine. Going back to one that's a day or two old, however, and they don't work properly anymore. I'm using CompUSA 80min 16x discs, burned at 8x, and the speed I'm using might be partly to blame.
If SA2 works for you, and none of your other games are showing signs of trouble, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. If you ####t noticing random lockups and they get progressively more frequent, suspect heat problems first (try pointing a fan on the back of the machine)... Other than that, I can't suggest anything else, except maybe burn at a lower speed if problems occur.
