Call me the luckiest guy in the world.

I've been busting my ass trying to find the first Resident Evil from a bunch of different pawn shops. I FINALLY find one when I visit this new retro gaming store in the mall by my house and buy it in an instant. But what happens when I turn it on? It works. It works perfectly UNTIL I MEET WESKER IN THE FREAKIN GARDEN HOUSE! Every time I run out there it starts freezing! I am completely blown.

There is no scratches on the disk that looks dangerous enough to do this. In fact, the back is pretty much clean. So does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? Or am I screwed? If I have to pay 50 plus for this game online when I found it for 15 I will be extremely angry.

TC, are you playing this game on the PS2? If so, then the problem lies within the backwards compatibiltiy of PSOne games.

Yeah, I'm playing on a PS2. Most of my other PS1 games work on it though. Was it ever stated that there were problems with Resident Evil on the PS2? Because RE3 is working fine on it.

You could check the PS2 backwards compatibility FAQ on Gamespot's sister site, gamefaqs.com, which should more than likely have RE1 in there.

I just checked it. RE1 isn't listed anywhere. Although that was an interesting faq. I thought the PS2 didn't have any backwards compatibility problems. I'm telling you, the back of the disk looks REALLY clean. I don't know how this could have happened.

So thats it? No one else has any other ideas?

Damn! That sucks! I once bought a game called The Mission for the Playstation that hada scratch that was soo deep that you could put down your fingernail in it. The only difference is that The Mission sucks and Resident Evil rocks.

Are you using the fast load or smooth texture options for PS1 games? For certain games, those options can cause various problems if they are turned on.

Otherwise, the PS2 can be random with disc errorr and problems. My PS2 once gave me the Red Screen of Death when I tried to play Star Ocean on it. It eventally worked, but I was still bothered by how random it was.

I don't know. How do I check the fast load or texture thing? If I can't get it working today I just might have to take it back.*sigh* and then buy it on Ebay for like 50 something dollars!

Thanks for the advice but I owned both a Gamecube and remake. I've played it before. Probably the best RE imo. But I never felt like buying a gamecube again so I just looked for this thing. It's pretty nostalgic playing it in the PS1 version though. Thats why I've been searching for it.

Oh and MAILER I think you hit the hammer on the nail. While the back of the disk is perfect, the front does have a few scratches on it. I thought the main data was on the back but hey, you learn something new everyday I guess. Well, back to the drawing board. I guess I'll return it.

if the problem lies in the disc's condition then take it to the local game crazy if you have one. They will clean it for like2 or 3 bucks, and it will look brand new.

BERRY!!! WHERES BERRY!!!!

I dont know but hes probably.....

NOOOOOO!!!!

is it bad that I remember the script? Resident evil was the first game I owned on PS1 Games were so great back then... :(
