I think it may have been the patched ISO I originally downloaded since it never reached the flashing color screen, but the one I manually patched and burned myself didn't do much better. I would take forever to load the flashing color screen and it would either hang at the purple flash, or hang at the black screen after it. The first time I put it in the PS2 it played fine though until I restarted it to make sure it worked. Oh well, hopefully the new media does better.
