So a little info, Its my housemates modded ps2, he has the matrix modchip installed and can play ps1 games like spyro on it without any errors or crashes.

So i recently downloaded Crash team racing (Europe) and have both burnt the .bin files (using .CUE) to a CD-R and have also converted the .bin to .ISO and burnt that.
In both cases the disk is recognised as a playstation media disk in the browser and boots past the inital screen (I have also booted in PS1 mode using O) but then it gets stuck on a black screen.

Now I'm new to this so i may have made mistakes but I've followed multiple tutorials and have no idea what is going wrong (probably something simple though).

I used PowerISO to burn and convert.

Any help would be appreciated
