    The game works I got my swap and slide today but if I don't watch the video, the mission loads forever and it freezes. Also, at some points of the game it stops and freezes up and then plays.

    Taiyo Yuden media, burnt at 4x w/ nero and it works pretty good. no disc error as i got before with TDK media bought at costco. it is mostly a media problem for GTA:SA. you just need good media tahts good quality. cheap crap ones that you can get for the price of a cd-r is not good enough. youll end up hanging on the load up screen forever and there will continously be disc read errors. i use a modchip to play it.

    I am going to order the Ritek G04 (yeah 4x G04 cause its cheaper and I only got a 4x burner and its better if you burn slowest anyways) and I am going to use it to burn San Andreas on, hope that takes care of the problem.

    To hbkhhh69:

    Hey. I don't know if you got it working now or not but I made a backup of GTA SA a couple days ago. I used DVD Decrypter to make and then burn and ISO. I have the Liteon SOHW-1633s dvd writer (i think that's the model). I wrote it at 4x using some no name media and it worked well (so far). I am using a v7 PS2 with slide card and swap magic boot disk v3.3

    When using this swap disk it gives me two options...one to boot up normally and one for a special boot. I had to use the special boot option. I read somewhere that GTA SA needed to be patched before burning. Maybe this special boot on the swap magic 3 disk took care of tht problem.

    ALso, the type of media seems to make a difference. I tried Killzone using the same noname media as my GTA backup and killzone would skip during the cinematics. I tried another backup and did everything the same as GTA, but I used a TDK dvd-r and even at 4x it worked nicely.

    If you're still having problems look up info on patching GTA. That should help.

    i've been using Legacy 8x DVD-R's for all my backups, i have also been burning them at 8x, i think they are like 17.99 a 50-pk from some sites, but i haven't had a single coaster out of any of them and they all play great on my v4 ps2 using the flip top swap method.

    Alright thanks so I will try better media, I ordered Ritek G04's so hopefully that will work. The only other choice I have after that is patching it. But I should be fine with these discs :)

    I just burnt a copy on Ritek G04's and the only problem now is that some of the textures don't load. Like the garage door, I had to pause it and it loads the map and I unpause then its fine.

    superstui, don't get so excited about it being only 4 GBs, it's only a single layer dvd so it can't be any larger.
