Stuck on Loading

Hi
So I'm playing shenmue and I can only get like 20 minutes of playing until it gets stuck, I don't know why
Usually it's in a loading screen.
What could be the problem?

Do you have original GD-ROM or illegal copy of that game? If you have this game on normal CD, try download title once again and burn. It should work.

Clean the disc.
Clean the laser lens.
Try again.

For lens cleaning use a lint-free cotton swab and as high percentage Isopropyl Alcohol as you can find. *NOT* 'rubbing' alcohol. Most drugstores will have 91% Isopropyl Alcohol (Make sure the other 9% is water and not other additives) Dip one end into the alcohol and swab the glass lens in a circular motion. Use light pressure, the lens will move around a bit when you do this. Don't worry, but avoid pressing too hard in any direction to be safe.

I use the same alcohol for cleaning CD's sometimes. Use a lint free cloth and remember to wipe CD's radially when you clean them (inside out or outside in)... never in a spiral around the disc.
