I have just bought Gran Turismo 4 imported from psgame.co.uk.
I swapped the discs after booting with the dvd (version 3.6) and it showed the black screen about wearing a seatbelt but did not get any further.

Strangely, this is exactly what my backup copy of GT3 A-Spec does as well.

I thought that by buying the official import I would have been able to eliminate this problem.

Any ideas, otherwise i've wasted £12!

you should have done some research first. gt4 is duel layer, and even though its on an original disc, swap magic wont load it.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

You're right I should have done some research.
What is the cheapest and easiest way I can play this game then? I will sell my swap magic stuff and get a modchip if necessary. I am from the UK.

Also, what is the explanation for my problems with GT3 A-Spec, is this dual layer too?

No I don't have a hard drive in the PS. I ripped A-Spec using DVD Decrypter then burnt using the same program at 1X.

Any ideas about the best uk mod chip/ site?

unless you can solder really good or want to spend a lot of money on the dms4 solderless chip, its not really an option. Sorry, i don't know of any sites.
