What type of media are you suing to burn, media can be a very effective part of playing backups... on my first day i burnt 2 games to 2 very very no name cheap dvd-r's and the game's frooze mostly at the main menu, after burning those same games to my fujifilm pack purchased after the games worked fine.

Also what speed are you burning these games with ? Most people say DVD-r's are preferred by PS2's but it shouldn't matter too much it's mostly about the quality brand and the speed, make sure to burn half the speed of the maximum on the disc.

RadMatt it is your media. Try Some Sonys or Maxell DVD-R or any good media. Check out the Good Media forum it show what DVDs are good and bad. I think this is the link. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/240341

If you're going to use Maxells use +R media (Made in Japan) booktype to DVD-ROM burn at 4x with Dvd Decrypter

ok.

I try the maxell DVD-R did the same thing slow loading and alot of skiping sounds.

i will try the Maxell DVD+R. To see if that is better?

I have a Sony DVD burner, its a nice burner. DVD Decrypter will not booktype to a sony?

Nero will booktype . if i do a COPY COPY DVD. that copy of the game one works the best. I have copy this game 3 times now. its just a test game using GTA-S.A. you know when it loads when you walk out the door of your house- it take like 5 mins to load that?

any one know any more that would be very helpfull thank you-

If you rebuild the game .ISO file.. (search on this forum for rebuilding tutorials) That is a common cause for slow loading times or games not generally working.
