All Star Baseball 2004, 1rst coaster...

[yankeesfan]

I just tried backing up All Star Baseball 2004 and cannot get it to boot. I have a V4 NTSC with no-solder/Swap Magic & a V7 with Magic 2. I have a Pioneer A04 drive using Verbatim DVD-R. I use Record Now DX. I have back ups of about 25 games and have had no coasters as of yet. That is why I am so confused about this one. I have tried burning at 1x and 2x. The 2x hangs at the loading screen. The 1x won't even load. While loading ( I should say trying to load) there is a lot of noise from the laser. It is the same on both PS2's. I have always used MAX as "READ" speed with no problems. I have not tried a slower READ speed on this game. Could that be the problem? How important is the READ speed? If MAX speed has always worked before why would this game be different?

Thanks in advance!
