NCAA 2005 problem

I have tried to make a copy of my NCAA 2005 with no success. I have a slide card in my ps2. I use game shark to loads them. The game starts to load and the screen goes black but the game never loads. I use DVD decrypted and DVD clone2. I have tried twice and the same result both times. The second one I burned I did it at 1x speed. Any suggestions, don't want to make anymore costars.

Thanks

 

have you tried using your orignal as a toc disc to see if the backup will load with it if it does then its most likly a toc problem and try using a different disc as a toc refresh disc

 

I had the same problem (black screen on boot with game shark -> CDLOADER -> TOC ps2 game -> backup) , then I did this: game shark -> swap magic -> TOC disc (grand turismo) -> NCAA2005 FB backup. THe game loads and I start a game.. then it freezes after the 1st or 2nd play!!! Any ideas? I've burned three different copies.. used Nero, Alcohol, then Decrypter.

 

i had no problems with ncaa 2005, burned it with decrypter, used swapmagic cd 3. cdloader, ffx for toc cd then popped in ncaa... worked like a champ so far

 

Hmm.. what media did you use? I used Sony.

 

I have tried using the original disc to load the game and it does not work. Still looking for the answer any help would greatly be appreciated.

thanks

 

Found my swap magic disc and it worked.
Thanks for the help.

 

Works here, copied from original.

Magic 3.1 V7

 

I am having the same problem! Here is the breakdown

-ver4 board
-gameshark2
-dvd decrypter
-ps2nfo
-gta3 (for toc)

Ok, so I did this the EXACT same way I do any other game. I made ISO with dvd decrypter, patched with ps2nfo for online part of the game, burned back to dvd-r using dvd decrypter.

Bootup gameshark 2 and have that one game selected that generates too many codes. When gameshark boots and is at the main screen, I hit eject and place in gta 3 because it has a large toc. After it spins up, I select start game, with codes, hit x to get the error "too many codes." This makes the disc stop spinning. I then backup and go again this time with codes off. When it says to hit x to start game, I use the knife method to take out the gta3 disc I use for toc and place in ncaa 2005 dvd backup. I hit x and everything is normal... it acts like it is going to load, but it just goes to the black screen.

Could it be gta3 has a smaller toc than ncaa 2005? How could I test this. I would like to get this working without having to purchase swapmagic or anything of the like.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Doug

 

I had this problem with the black screen after boot, but my sequence was as follows:
1) gameshark2 , start game , without codes
2) Slide card to open unit, insert cdloader, press X
3) eject cdloader, put in Grand Turismo3 (TOC), X
4) Once TOC refreshed, Slide Card to open, insert backup, press X.

After this I tried using a SwapMagic3.0 cd (burned from ISO) in place of the cdloader. Now the game loads fine, but one the first play (usually right when the quarter back say "hike" the first time) the game freezes!!

 

yea, this really sucks. I think my first problem is I don't have a large enough TOC.

 

I'm using a Neo 2 with Gameshark and have the same problem. Boots then the eternal black screen. It's not the TOC because I have tried the original for the TOC. I've always burned with Nero with no probs, so my last effort is to try DVD Decrypter and see what happens. I need to figure this out, I know Madden will be the same.

 

if you figure this out, please let us know!

 

DVD Decrypter did not make a difference. Same result. Has anyone been able to successfully boot this game using a gameshark? Seems like everyone who gets it working has a swapmagic or no swap mod. This blowz.

 

Hey, mefreekee... if you figure this out, let us know. I will do the same.

 

No luck. Someone has to know something.

TTT

 

try nero, goto disk copy, select dvd, and deselect copy on the fly. do disk read at 4x and write speed at 2x. also finalize the disk. this gave me a perfect backup of 2005. i had serious jitter problem with decrypter so i have stopped using it to backup.

 

Same result ballance. Madden 2005 is doing the exact same thing. Bummer.

 

remember to switch your setting by selecting the select button.."correct me if i'm wrong or out of line..Mode 1...mode 2 ... mode 3.. Ea games are usually set with "mode 3"..
hope that helped...!

 

LLSMUVG, in which prog are are referring to? In Nero, I've never had to change anything prior to this.
