Metal gear solid 2 not playing

**eraldorh** · 04-25-2011,05:55 PM

I backed up a ton of my games and used usbtil v2 to install them on my 80gb external hd but metal gear solid 2 sons of liberty wont work i get the colours then i get the black screen as if its about to start and then nothing it stays that way.

Metal gear solid 3 snake eater runs fine so do all my other games.

I also backed up an old game i found that only worked on my friends ps2 because it is NTSC it is called Deus Ex - The Conspiracy, i thought it wouldnt matter about the region with fmcb and OPL but this game is not running either, i get the colours and then it stays white screen.

My tv supports both 50Hz pal and 60Hz so i dont know what the problem is, any help anyone can provide id appreciate it.

Zero fragmentation on my hdd.

After playing metal gear solid 3 snake eater for a while iv noticed alot of issues, it will freeze sometimes if i die, it also freezes sometimes after a call has ended or a cutscene.

I also got this disk read freeze bit while playing like when the laser cant read the disk and it freezes then it continued then it froze again and i had to restart, really annopying because im playing on Hard and well its hard so i keep restarting from my last save.

I finished MGS3 Snake Eater two months ago without a single freeze along the way. I use OPL with SMB.

Well i havnt been able to play it properly using OPL and it even says on the OPL compatability thread that it has some issues with this game, anyway i tried PS2ESDL last night and i played the game perfectly no issues.

However i still cannot get metal gear solid 2 to run on any usb loader, it just goes to a black screen, im not sure if maybe the backup i created is bad or something?

Might as well try a beta-revision, if you can compile them.
