So I waited FOREVER for this game to finish download.

After it was finished, I extracted the .iso, and then used Alcohol 120% to burn the iso in 4X speed in a Memorex DVD+R.

After that I put in my Swap Magic and then Amplitude.

Everything looks ok...there's the loading screen...

Then suddenly it's just a black screen. I thought it was just horribly long loading times but after a couple of minutes I just turned it off.

I never had any problems like this before with Memorex...just long loading times in KH2 which I fixed with another brand of DVDs. I really don't want to buy another brand now since I bought 50 Memorex DVDs.

Help!

Had a quick search on this site, and I saw a few people saying that they have successfully backed up this game without rebuilding it.

My suggestion is that get a pack of good media (Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim or Sony DVD-R 8x), that's the most obvious fix to your problem.

well,like dan says,it doesnt look like it needs rebuilding,and the low TOC confirms it
why you bought 50 memorex dvd disk's is a mystery?,if carlsberg made disks,they certainly wouldnt make memorex...
if you dont want to buy another brand,then i dont know what else to suggest,other than cleaning the laser.
or trying one at the lowest speed possible
my advice,like dan,would be to get some more disk's

Hm, I see...well I guess I could pick up some Verbatim DVDs in the weekend.

I could still use the Memorex DVDs to burn movies.

Thanks guys!

get rid of the memorex. and check the media code before you buy any media in the future.
