how did you get the game to the HD? e.g. i use FlashFXP but files with long file name don't get transferred/copied to the HD...

I have all files straight of another xbox hdd burnt onto dvd. I put dvd with files on it in PC and I ftp up using Cute Ftp. I always do my games usually with no probs, this is the 1st game that I have had a problem with.

Are you running an exploit? For some reason the xbins release of Phoenix bios loader will freeze with a couple games like project gotham and the matrix. There's a fix at the phoenix bios loader forum.

The 2nd time I ftped this up, the game loaded as far as the intro screen this time. Strange.

Maybe I should try copying to pc hdd instead of ftping directly from dvd ?

cheers

Personally I loved the game however I guess it does require a passion for driving games but anyways, either try copying it again from a different source CD or (And Devil-Man will get on at me again for this :p) but try using Px HDD Loader or even BoXplorer to do the copy on your Xbox, rather than using your PC as a 'middle-man'.

The Xbox does not read the DVD but the PC does quite strange.

If your PC can read the actual files on the disk, then the burn didn't go correctly. A PC DVD drive should see nothing on an Xbox format 'backup'.

I had exactly the sme problem, the game worked fine when running from dvdr, but when i copied it to my hdd it simply froze, at one point i managed to start a race but that was asa far as i got before it froze up again, in the end i gave up

Hmmmn I had a similar problem:

I have x-ecuter 2.2lite, I ripped Project Gotham (pal) origonal via flashfxp and xiso, and burnt back to memorex DVD+R

Now the weird thing is I tested it after burning, and it worked fine, but now a couple of days later, no-go.

EvoX dash recognizes the disc as a 'GAME' but when I launch it, it just hangs on a black screen. Same if I boot up with the game in the drive.....

Its Almost as if it cant find the codec to play the intro or something.... I dunno tbh, its just very weird.

Any Ideas peeps?

I just d/l PG2 and FTPd it to my XBOX HDD. I patched all the .xbe's with Craxtion and now I get the following error:

"Your disc maybe dirty or damaged."

What could be wrong? Should I try the ftp transfer again?
