I've had 3 games so far not load a saved game from a cdrw. I thought maybe the loading was just really slow, but after 5 minutes of waiting, I guess it's not going to load! :)

Fifa 2002 World Cup, NHL Hitz, & Simpsons Road Rage are the 3 I'm having issues with...

The saved games should load, I would expect the release groups to make sure of this during the testing of their rips, but then again maybe not. For some reason I think that there was an issue between saving a game with a ps2 dvd rip and a full dvd version. I remember reading a post from someone saying that they were playing Devil May Cry cd rip (3 cds) and the save game created from those cds did not work when you tried to load the saved game on a version of Devil May Cry on a dvdr, so maybe there is something to what you're seeing with saved games. I've never seen this problem on any of my xbox games though....just my $0.02

your hard drive could be bad or you coul dbe playing a bad rip.

lol, the funniest part is that x-box console always says that it will loads way faster than ps2 but now, it's the slowest!!! :D

my backups of ps2 load even faster than my original games

my x-box backups load will slow!!!!!!!!!!

put a liteon 16x dvd-rom drive in ur xbox m8 and c how slow it loads, lol!
