Grandia 3 DVD 1 Problem

[benhanks040888]

I've made image file of the dvd and it's successful. When i tried to run it, the pcsx2 displays black screen and the console (the command promt) status has this:

#Initialize GS...
etc...until
#Initialize Scratch Pad...

loadElfFile: cdrom0:\SLUS_213.34;1

i suspect the problem is in the bold one. anyone has any idea what that is?

Uh what is your settings? Does the same happen if you run it from the disc? Do other games run?

[benhanks040888]

Other games run well. well i haven't tried running it directly from the disc but i assume it's the same since i tried making image of the second disc and it (the 2nd disc) ran well.

The notice is normal in that game, it works nevertheless.
The fact it's showing that means that some gamecode got loaded.
So my best bet is that the image is broken somehow. You should try redoing it with some other software.
