Soul Calibur black screen (Not PAL/NTSC problem)

Ok I've search this board and found some instances of the problem I'm having, but still I have no clear and precise answer.

I've burnt this Soul Calibur .cdi a few times (with DJ v2 and 3.5)and I'm having no luck, the thing is not selfboot so it boots up just fine with the use of the boot disc but cuts out some way through the intro. From there I can get into the options and such but as soon as I try to start the game in any mode it just gives me a black screen with zero disc activity (I've left this to sit for a while and it's really doing nothing).

Can anybody help me out, I'm not a complete newbie at this sort of thing, but I am new to dreamcast image burning. Somebody mentioned here that copying the game solves the problem, but that doesn't make any sense to me, if one disc doesn't work, why would a duplicate?..

Thanks in advance for any help.

There is also a 50HZ fix, perhaps that will work!
