Game Title: Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence
Game Region: NTSC Media Make: Sony Media ID: Sony DVD-R
Disk max speed: 8x
Speed of burning: 2x
PS2 Modification: CogSwapLoader+Slide card
PS2 Version: The fat type
Game acquired: Downloaded
Rebuilded: Yes
Rebuild Software: WinRAR Burning Software: ImgBurn
Problem:
The game loads, except after the beginning title displays of "konami" and "kojima productions" the screen becomes black forever, already wasted like a million dvds testing burning speeds or rebuilding software...what am i doing wrong? SOLVED
NEW Problem:
I got pretty far in the game, however at one point, i saved the game file and then the next day i wanted to play it but after doing the cogswap process with cogswaploader, it said "Please insert a formatted PS2 or PS1 disc.." this is when i was trying to load my save file...has this ever happened before to anyone??? btw this problem never occurred throughout the game up to this point...
I use SonyDVD-R, the downloaded file was those ".001,.002,.003" file types and I manually opened one of them with WinRAR to create a ISO file. Then I used Imgburn to burn ISO at both 2x and 4x. The files on the backup seem like any other backup files, and i managed to get the few titles running...i assume the opening movie is supposed to start after the titles...
it's possible that cogswaploader can't load it. not sure on compatability, so someone correct me if i'm wrong.
since you have a fat ps2, might i suggest the memory card exploit? you'll need a cheating device with usb support (ARMAX recommended), the network adapter, an original psx game, and a IDE hdd.
Problem solved, everything works, its just that you had to press x or start after the titles disappear, then it would take you to the main screen and henceforth...sry for any inconvenience
