I have the same issue as posted in Issue 1094 (http://code.google.com/p/pcsx2/issues/detail?id=1094) --> black screen after intro.

I found out if you run the game without memory cards (both slots empty) the game doesnt even show the intro -->black screen, fps still running. It looks like tomb raider tries to access the memory card(s) and doesn't get back what its expecting ...

Im using r4962 and the PAL-E version of Tomb Raider AOD (SLES-51227)

But where. It leads to an Error 404.

Its quite possible this game needs a complicated skip videos patch, which you are free to try the EU version seems to work to an extent.

oops, link update : http://code.google.com/p/pcsx2/issues/detail?id=1094

This is a strange behavior because the game doesnt arrive the step to load the intro when both memory cards slots are empty. When you insert 2 formated memory cards the intro is loading ...

I guess tomb raider is checking for memory cards before loading the intro (as usual in the tomb raider series).

You could use a patch to skip the intro, but this doesnt solve the problem when memory cards slots are empty
