New DC game wont boot

Post#1 » Thu Dec 08, 2016 5:41 pm

Very strange this issue. I bought me a new fresh copy of ghost blade and this new game won't boot in my Japanese modded console. I tried the laser adjust method and I even ripped and burned it to a second cd, still no play.
It shows the Sega logo, the game logo and then it just bounces back to the Sega logo.
All my other games, US, Japanese and PAL they work like a charm. Even if discs are heavily scratched.

Does it load other burned games?

Yeah - load it several times and eventually it may get past the game logo. My copy was like this originally and then after numerous attempts my dc magically played it - and it worked every subsequent time.
Granted my dc only reads some cdr's - odd. I need to get it fixed. Could a different or odd cdr type be a culprit? My dc plays gdroms and some cdr's but not other cdr's. I can play ghost blade but not redux dark matters.
