Tiger Woods 2004

Hello all.. I'm having some trouble getting a backup of Tiger Woods 2004 to play on my v10 with a Messiah 2.. I made the disk with DVD Decryptor (from an ISO image) on a Memorex DVD+R.. I've used DVD Decryptor and these same disks for every game that i've made without making a single coaster. This is, however, the first EA game that i've tried. When the I turn on the PS2, it doesn't even go to the browser screen (indicating a successful disk read and boot).. I get the Playstation logo and all the usual boot-up fanciness.. but it then hangs on a black screen at the moment I would expect the EA logo to come up.. I was hoping someone would have some ideas or answers before I try it again with another burning program..

sorry to double post... but i forgot to mention that I DID burn the disk at 2.4x (the slowest possible for +R burners)

Burned with RecordNow Max on Ritek G03 dvd-r at 2x with no problems.
