Are there scratches on the disc? Are you using a fatty PS2?

Are the tiny scratches deep?
or seem deep?
If so, then its missing data.

You can possibly try and clean it with alcohol i believe, but i just use a lens cleaner cloth.

Use a disk solution, they're very cheap.

If the PS logo just loads up, then it's definitely a disc-problem. Have you tried any other games on your PlayStation? If they all work, then it will be scratches on your MGS disc.

My PS2 doesn't handle the swap to disc 2 at all. Even though I know it's not a problem with the disc itself (as it runs fine on PS1).

If it's a problem with the disc, then try getting hold of some alcohol-based wipes. They are awesome at cleaning up dirt from inside disc scratches.

Also, i know a lot of game stores now have a disc cleaning service where for a few quid they run it through a magical machine of hope and wonder =]. For a few quid, of course =p

Good luck with that though!

ok if its because of scratches then you can fix it...as long as they arent horrific scratches
1. cover the underside of the disc in toothpaste (colgate is best) and make sure that no parts of the bottom of disc are still exposed
2. leave the disc covered in toothpaste for around 5 minutes
3. after 5 minutes, put the disc under a tap and wipe away the toothpaste and make sure you get rid of all of it
4. dry the disc but make sure not to scratch it
5. try disc out and it should work

it might sound ridiculous but i saw a tutorial for it on youtube and tried it on my broken rayman 2 disc for ps1 and i was surprised to find that it worked perfectly
it was also not coincidental as the game broke every time on the exact same bit, and after trying the tootpaste thing out it didnt break and i continued to play throught the game and had no problems :D
i think that it fixes it by buffering out the larger scratches as toothpaste is slightly abrasive if i recall correctly

but yeah its definitely worth a try. worked for me nyway :D
