    Default Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Ps2 Won't Load?

    Okay, so lets get it down to the point. I downloaded this game and burned it on my disc following with an insert into my modded ps2. Now, it loads perfectly. Shows the PlayStation 2 logo before a game starts. And for 5 minutes I stare in the screen soullessly. It's just... A big black screen.
    Now, I did try methods such as putting a ps2 sideways so the disc...runs better? Lol. Anyways, if anyways has any suggestions, shoot. I've
    already tried two discs and i'm not going to attempt a third disc unless it'll be 100%. If you guys can help. Be much appreciated.

    When extracting make sure to use 7-zip
    What media do you use? (very important you use good quality rather than just the cheapest)
    What burning speed was used? (Stick to the slowest you can)
    What burning software did you use? (Personly recomend ImgBurn, defualt settings with burn speed set to the lowest)

    You might aswell try with the system upside down

    Mod chip.
    Also yes i've tried it with the lowest settings extracted with 7-zip and winrar the second time and I use dvd-decrypter but it works almost the same as img burn as I have used both programs and burned it with 1x speed.
    BUT I will attempt to turn my ps2 upside down ! Anything to replay this game again lol.

    DVD-Decyptor is an old version of ImgBurn the only reason it was discontinued was because of legal issues with DVD-Decyptor being able to decrypt DVD Video protection, that was removed then the project renamed to ImgBurn.

    What media is it that you are using?

    lol yeah used to do that with my Playstation 1, worked with some games aswell until I replaced the laser unit on it

    That could be the problem

    Vibatims DVD+R are the best

    I will check later though on the console compat for FujiFilm later though some games that are less drive read heavy may be fine, most DVD+R's are ok for most games but some are very picky and will only work from a few brands

    If I had spare DVD+R's I would of tested myself, as this might actually be an issue with the ISO image

    Edit:

    FujiFilm DVD+R reports from www.videohelp.com some are mixed some have yet to be tested but most are good for console use, 9 different ones for FujiFilm DVD+R
