Shining Force III CD Read Error
Double - Apr 21, 2003

Hi, I own a copy of Shining Force III Scenario III, and I have used cdrwin to make a cue/bin of it. When I load it into girigiri, it plays fine, but when i get to chapter 2, i get a cd read error at the end of the chapter summary. My disk isn't scratched at all, and I have cleaned and re-ripped several times. I don't get errors in any part of the game except for here. Help is appreciated. Thanks.

Does the game run on the actual Saturn? The CD may not be scratched, but the original (or backup) it was ripped from could've been scratched, and the rip carried all the errors along it.

I had such problem with a Saturn game before, and it was Shining Force 3 Scenario 3. The game would crash into CD read error in the very first battle, on both the real Saturn and emulators.

To M3d10n:

The game does run on my Saturn, although when I run it there, I get the CD Read Error in battle thing(due to the age of my saturn i guess). However, this time, it does it when it tries to load the End of Chapter dialog. And btw, its the original game.

To Baracuda:

I'll go look now. EDIT: Just looked. That makes sense, but this game was an original, not a download. And I know this doesn't happen(at least, this particular error) on my saturn.

To Jurai:

Thanks, this confirms my thoughts that the CD Read Error battle thingy was from my Saturn

Thanks to all for helping. Unfortunately, the problem isn't solved. I guess I should go try to download it from somewhere(dunno where tho, Jurai's ftp kicks me off before i can finish one part of the download)

Maybe you wont need to download it...

Try making a copy of that original cd, set read speed to 1X or something, with some luck you may be able to copy it perfectly... then just play with that copy <_<

Well, I've tried 6 times now to make a copy and I always get a CD Read Error at the same exact point, right at the chapter end. O ya, the default is 1X speed, so thats not the problem. I guess I will just have to download it.

How high is the level of compatability of the emulator?
