anybody else have this problem with StD?

every level of my game loads lovely, as a game should :I all levels except Sunny Flight and Crystal Flight

my disc isn't too scratched or anything, every other level loads perfectly... makes me sad to think I'll be at 98% forever and never get to play Gnasty's Loot :C

Yes. After a time it couldn't load Icy Flight or Alpine Ridge. Spyro keeps flying and nothing happens.

Though it is not too scratched, lazer it. You know, like they do in some shops, take a thin layer off and erase scratches.
I did it, though there were almost no scratches and it worked perfectly again.

Re: anybody else have this problem with StD?

I notice Playstations are kinda picky. I have to keep my disks clean constantly or zones/game will not load. I converted to ISOs on the computer so I would not have to worry about that... tongue

Nintendo has good disks, but if the slightest problem happens to the reader, you lose your Wii for  a couple 'o weeks...

Re: anybody else have this problem with StD?

ah! yes, that's exactly what happens to me... Spyro flies endlessly :v

this disc was just one my friend gave me to play until my order of all three games comes in :3 long story, so I probably won't bother buffering it unless I can find somewhere that does it for free

thanks for the replies guys ♥

Re: anybody else have this problem with StD?

It hasn't happened to me on this game, but on my old copy of Crash Bandicoot 2, only some of the levels load. It'll just have a black screen while the Playstation sounds like it's having a seizure. I wish they would make their games more durable. sad

I think I've gone through 2 copies of Spyro the Dragon for various other problems though. The most annoying was the music skipping. I mean, you can't play StD without the great music.

This is a bit unrelated, but does anyone know if you can play PS1 games on a PS2? I thought you could, but my Ps2 won't play any of my Ps1 games. It does have a problem reading regular disks though, so I was just wondering if it's a problem with my Ps2, or you just can't play those games on one anyway.

Re: anybody else have this problem with StD?

A lil offtopic. Sure.

Yes spyro and crash are fragile as could be. My Spyro 2 Ripto's Rage disk works perfect except for when you want to start a new game. One of the videos not working ._. ... All because of a scratch that is kinda deep... Already had it filled and it still does not work...

TBH: Personally I think they should just remake the series for PS 3 or something (well PS3 noob here. Do not scream if you CAN get them for PS3) because it is not like the games are produced any more. You could get them on Ebay. Sure if you want to pay $30 bucks for a "SEALED COPY"... Which I just do not believe really.

Ironic MrX-Link, I have had my copy of Crash 2 (Well I hardly played it for about 3 years) and it is in absolute perfect condition. But if a speck of dust gets on it the silly PSX will not read it. I would take it down to a repair shop if I could turn back the clock like N. Tropy... Because I bet there is a problem with it if the PSX is freaking out over a speck of dust ^^.

Re: anybody else have this problem with StD?

Alright, thanks guys; I assumed it was probably a problem with the PS2.

Not too long ago I bought the Collector's Edition PS1 Spyro trilogy off Ebay. It was very nice to have all the games nice and working again. No way I'm letting anything happen to those.

Re: anybody else have this problem with StD?

The only games ive had trouble with are spyro 2 with the bit inbetween summer forest and autumn plains where  hav to skip the movie otherwise it takes and hour to get through it XD, and also spyro 3 when a certain save file wont let me in the bonus area, but ive worked out ways around the probs. Spyro 1 has no problems whatso ever though smile, but if you want to sort the disk either: get some disk wipes, get it reapired in a game shop or finally change the position of your save file. smile

I never released Spyro the Dragon abbreviated was StD.  o.O
Did not realize what the topic title was referring to right away.

Re: anybody else have this problem with StD?

I have never had a serious loading issue, but several levels' soundtracks skip during the second half of the song.  A little annoying...
