Title: It came from the Desert glitch?
Post by: jc78_2005 on 08/06/2012, 07:29 PM
granted i am playing a burnt copy. at no paticular given time, or in any order, the game will just boot back to the system card screen.JUst a bad burn or a known issue with this "game"? , have several  other games play just fine.

I have a real copy and I play it quite a bit and it's never done this.

Huh, I don't recall ever having that problem, & I played that game to death BITD(not that I've beaten it however).  It's a glitchy game, but that just doesn't sound familiar.  Is this on real hardware I assume?

yes on real hardware, the original tgcd setup, it has other glitches as well but so do the other fmv games i have played, but yeah this one seemed extreme. i was just wanting to know , because i actually plan to buy this game, and was wondering if others have had this experience. think i will fire it up right now and see if maybe its a time period thing?

About the only glitch I came across this game on a burnt copy was the loading screen of blackness and I had to reboot and viola! It started to work again.

I meant it in a good way, because it also might instant damage or accelerate the aging of your system (CD-ROM²). depends on its age and current condition.

plus that game is usually a super-cheapy, not? it would be a pity to damage your system, just because it saved you few bucks :)

I've never had such problems with mine either, so it definitely sounds like a bad rip and/or bad burn.

right, i see your point, i have read that some say playing copies can damage the laser, is this confirmed? i havent had alot of experience with the tgcd, but used to play alot of burnt cd's in the sega cd, saturn etc, never had a prob,.thanks for the heads up however! your right! it is just a cheapo,
