The Urbz: Sims in the City

[Coquito005]

I wasn't sure where to post this issue; the problem I'm having with "The Urbz", is that I'm trying to play the physical game disc, and whenever I try to use it with the emulator, it seems to work normal until it gets after the "Playstation 2" logo; it stays at a black/blank screen, before that it actually seems to read it, I tried using another physical game to see if it was my "DVD RW Drive", but no. I'm trying to guess that the issue is actually coming with "The Urbz: Sims in the City".


Help is appreciated, thank you.
