i cant get the same game to work again! i use a fliptop and it works on every other game i have....but for some strange reason this game doesnt want to friggin work.....so please someone help me....is there a certain amount of weight or somethin that needs to be on it? cause this just baffles my skull....i used both alcohol 120% to burn a copy and dvd decryptor....neither one wants to work.....the thing is....the blue border comes right up and it loads up perfectly....and then its just a black screen.....oh the irony!

Hmm no info on it in the forums and no fixes on Swapmagicfix.com. So either SM 2.0 is being retarded or you're not burning it correctly. Yes it does make a difference. SM 3.6 has very few compatiblity issues whereas 2.0 had a ton. The simple solution is to upgrade. I've never heard of KMV media, so try Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, Ritek, TDK, Sony, Phillips, or Maxell DVD-R's. Burn at 1x, 2x, then 4x, respectively using DVD decrypter . Here is how to use DVD Decrypter: http://home.earthlink.net/~moderator/id3.html

KMA Media?

Well it doesn't get very many or very good reviews for that media
so It could be the media you're using.. It's only a 4x disc from what I can see so burn speed should be it but it could just be the media all around...

How big of a game is it? does it take up all the disc? If it's a really big TOC maybe it needs to be rebuilt

What speed did you burn at? if 4x I'd suggest 2x if you burnt at 2x I'd try 4X

I don't know why but some games are just picky at what speed they are burnt at... Some like 2x some like 4x it's trial and error but most like 4x from what I've noticed
