So I decided to play through Final Fantasy VII again for the first time in several years, and everything was going smoothly up until I got to Dom's mansion (the part where you have to dress like a woman to get inside). When I entered the basement to rescue Tifa, the music continues to play but the screen stays black. I tried a few times and it randomly worked once, but when I had to go back downstairs, the area didn't load again. I have the most recent firmware available and I have the 80 GB PS3. If anyone knows if there is any solution to this, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
It is, yeah, but it always worked fine and it's been in really the same condition for a long while now. The only annoyance is that if it is scratched I have to shell out a bit of cash to buy another copy... then if it STILL doesn't work... well then...
Try doing this. Take a small amount of toothpaste and apply it to the disc. Take your finger and gently work the paste around in circles just like you're waxing a car until the entire bottom side of the disc has a small layer of toothpaste covering it. Take a soft towel and wipe it off by starting at the center of the disc and pulling outwards straight towards you. Avoid wiping it off using circular motions at all cost. This has worked for me about 80% of the time if I have a scratched up disc that I find won't play.

lol, i had a friend in middle school that would put zit cream on his discs and would swear that it worked... lol
or you can go the conventional way and use a disk repair kit. i suggest skip dr. had a gta3 that didn't work straight the beginning. bought one of those, and then i played it the whole way through

I just tried it and it didn't work. Looks like I'm going to find another copy of the game. :\
I really wouldn't try that toothpaste. I tried it so many times on my FF8 discs and just eventually had to purchase a new game.
If you have a PS2 or PS1 try and play the game on that. If all else fails, then unfortunately you're going to have to search for a new copy. :/

If you try the toothpaste thing too much, you'll screw up the disc. Use a minimal amount of toothpaste and move gently in small circles. Don't allow the disc to get too hot from the friction either.
I'm not sure, but every type of toothpaste may not work for this... some just might not have enough grit in them. It's basically the same principle as buffing scratches out of a car or boat or something. But it takes gentleness and patience.
