Ok now onto the main problem I am experiencing. I have just received the exam results, and am now sitting in class because class is over. I walk over to Kazushi so I can improve my social links, so we go to kendo training. There is a scene where the students are training, and Kazushi seems to be having some kind of trouble and falls down saying, "Dammit, y-you serious...!?". Then it wants to cut off to another scene or what not, but it just never happens. I have included a screenshot which probably won't tell you much, but just what it looks like after it's stuck. It just stays there and does nothing, and I don't think it crashed but it's not loading anything. The music seems to be playing fine in the background, and the cpu is just hovering around 3-4%. I've tried a multitude of different configs, disabling all the speedhacks and turning clamp back to normal. Has anyone ever experienced this and is there something I can do so I can continue past that point? I haven't messed with any other clamp settings besides normal and none in ee and vu. Would I need to use a different clamp setting just for that part or something else totally to get through this? I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I thought I might save some time if I asked here because it takes a while from my save point to get to that place. Any help is appreciated!
PS - I also find that this happens if I go to kendo training via gym. Dang, must be a kendo conspiracy.
PPS - Ok.. Well I tried playing further by avoiding kendo training, and then doing other stuff and then trying to go back to it to see if it made a difference, and no it didn't. If anyone really wants I can upload the .ps2 save file.

UPDATE: This problem is now solved. Oddly enough, apparently it has something to do with my .iso. I say oddly because the fact that the version that I burnt to dvd is from the same .iso that refused to load the next part in that scene which rules out a borked iso. What gives? I was able to finally go through the kendo club training scene where Kazushi finally admits to his knee injury by loading the game via the iso burnt to dvd. I know that this is not an issue anymore, but could someone please clarify to me what's going on or the cause of it (since it works from the dvd which was burnt from the same .iso that was giving me problems)? Would it be some configuration setting?
