I guess you're a newbie by this question. Basically, it sounds like you have a bad burn. Go over a few tutorials - there are a few on www.psxcopyworld.co.uk and check the settings for your program which you are using to burn games with. You should be burning in CD-XA / Mode 2 at no quicker than 4x on CD and 1x/2x on DVD.

Re-burn after checking your settings and reviewing what you are doing. It's only a bad burn - don't worry about it.

Actually 4x is good for the everyday burner, but I use 32x with my Light-On whenever I make my own rips. But you have to make sure your burner is capable of burning properly at that rate of speed. Mine is, so I can do it with no problems.

Try reburing the bad burned cd with CloneCD too I have been sent rips that didnt work until I reburned them with CloneCD.

still, the same thing. i just burned at 4x but agian after ps2 logo screen stays black. i am using newest virison of discjuggler. i have burned fiv or more games at 16x with it and all of them work fine this is the first one that is giving me problem

Like I said try CloneCD at least once. Use a slow burn speed to reduce any other problems there may be.

He is correct it does have problems copying, have already tried multiple prog's and still have same issue, there doesnt seem to be a patch, it operates in a fashion similar to EA games, but it actually does try to load and freezes.

I had no problem backing up this game......

Burned with Clone CD and a 100% compatible burner....

What type of media and mod chip are you using, and what model # cd burner do you have?

I almost cry when I say this, but the usb sbox, and a Sanyo 1400p. I did not try Clone though, any idea what kind of protection this game had though?

I beleive it was Libcrypt..... I'll check to be positive when I get home...

when i burn with clone cd i can't set the settings
how come, i have the newest version and the tutorials
at psxgameworld use the old version

Are the settings that you want to change "greyed out" so you can't check or uncheck them?
If so, it normally means your burner does not support those functions...

No it just skips that section altogether

I have installed it in 3 pc's and it does the same thing
