Trouble With Record Now Max

[rademad]

I have tried to back this game up using RecordNow Max, Alcohol, DVD Decrypter and Instant Copy 8.0. The image you should have gotten is 1.68 MB or 1,813,446,808 bytes and will be a .gi so it only uses a portion of the DVD.

My copy boots normally, plays the background story and then goes to the menu for single, multiple and credits. When I select single player it goes to the black screen of death.

I have copied this program on several types of media and I finally broke down and ordered some Ritek GO4's that seem to have a more consistent dye coloration. I have seen several postings say they have copied it using the Ritek DVDs.

The bottom line is that I am not a newbie to this stuff and I have come to the conclusion that the program actually is making a second check after the initial boot - some chips and the ol' swap are not gonna work.

If you get it to work lemme know - I don't think that it is as simple as just extracting an image and burning it.
