The game loads and starts up just fine. I play though the tutorial battle (fist battle) and then talk to some ppl; From this point on there is a 99% chance that the loading screens will last forever. I've tryed changeing cd plugins and messing with the cd options, but i've had very little luck. I turned on the pop up on read error in peop cd plugin and it pops up with a read error when neverending loading scrren acures. I have tryed useing ISOProducer to make an iso of the disk but at about 38% it has a disk read error.

I'm going to try useing different bios files but I don't know if doing so will work.......

Use an MDS file maker. Alcohol 120% Trial works fine, just set it to skip errors and advanced sector scan. May take a while, but you should be able to make a perfect copy. As an extra perk, that means you can play the game without the CD in the drive, as Alcohol 120% can spoof extra CD drives and mount your MDS files.

Also try turning off "read subchannels" or turning it on if it is off. Now and then, the subchannels will cause a bug if read, or cause a bug if NOT read.
