Trouble with Skies of Arcadia ECHELON

[bored814]

This PROBABLY belongs in emulation/help section, but here goes. I recently burned SoA ECH in Raw DAO Like it said to in the nfo. It worked the first time, but it took a long time to read, and it didn't read my save file. Now it doesn't read at all, but it makes it look like it's trying. Any help would be appreciated.

It probably belongs there, and yet you still posted it in FFA. Hmnn.

Actually, it'd help us if you'd tell us what you're trying to play the game on. Are you playing it on your DC, or Chancast? That'd start us on the road to...uh...helping you out.

Too true....I thought BURN kind of got the point out. Anyway, Dreamcast.

Possibly just burnt it too fast? I'm no emulation guru, but that's my first thought.
What speed did you burn it at?

Not at all, Mr. Smartass. You can play a burn on your DC console, or you can play it on Chancast, the DC emulator. Considering that you didn't specify which one you were talking about in your opening post, you can't fault me for asking. After all, I'm not psychic. If you don't clarify what you're after, I can't help you. Niether can anyone else, for that matter.

EDIT: As far as your problem goes, it's probably a burnt-out DC. The system wasn't meant to read CD's, and so you've probably burnt out it's laser. Eh, I've gone through a couple systems myself, and that's always the problem I run into. As far as your saves go? Shit, I dunno. They're corrupt. Or God hates you.

EDIT II:

That's also a possibility. Try and burn the disk at a slower speed. That it once worked leads me to believe your system is fucked, but eh, try and burn it again at like, 2X and see what happens.
