Hi,
I have read similar posts about this problem, however I could not find one which has the exact same issue.
I've been able to run valkyrie profile 2 silmeria undubbed version for two weeks (total game time 48 hours)
but then the last time i tried to reboot the dvd it cannot read the layer.
Initializing plugins...
Init GS
Windows 6.1.7601 (Service Pack 1 1.0)
Init PAD
Init SPU2
Init CDVD
Init USB
Init FW
Init DEV9
Plugins initialized successfully.
Opening plugins...
Opening GS
Opening PAD
Opening SPU2
Opening CDVD
isoFile open ok: H:\Games\Offline\PS2 ISOs\ValkyrieProfile2SilmeriaUNDUB\ValkyrieProfile2SilmeriaUNDUB.iso
Image type = DVD
isoFile: searching for layer1...
it always stop on searching for layer1, a problem mentioned on several posts here before.
I have tried to change the GS plugin to GSdx 5752 ( i tried all those 4 version, with the MSVC 16.00 SSSE3 being my default one)
x
as well as tried to change the CDVD plugin to Linuz ISO (cdvd gigaherz (r5692) is my default one)
and its still not working.
However after i experimenting around all those plugin (which i have mentioned above) somehow the DVD can be read again by the PCSX2 last night.
but at that time I tried and play only for 15 minutes just to make sure whether its really working or not. and after that decided to close my PCSX2.
today i tried to open VP2 again, with the same exact setup as last night's PCSX2, and it does not work again.
I am confused now as to what really happened with that game.
I tried to download another ISO, and it seems that it does not have an effect either. (i downloaded another UNDUBBED one as well)
any help?
UPDATE:
and I tried again just now and its working again. but AGAIN I REALLY WANT TO KNOW why can this happen @@
