Terrain not loading on simpsons hit n run

Hi!

My copy of simpsons hit and run isn’t loading textures for most of the world when starting the marge level.

What would cause this to happen? Scratched disc? It doesn’t seem to be too badly scratched but there are quite a few light scratches

Thanks!

Which PS2 model do you have? My launch day FAT model started having issues loading the world when swinging around in Ultimate Spider-Man, and couldn't even start Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance as it was a double layer DVD and harder to read.
The DVD reader eventually failed and now it won't read anything at all. I bought a 2009 Slim model and that one works perfectly fine to this day.
I wonder if it's the disc drive. Do you have any way to test with OPL? You can also try the disc in a PC using PCSX2.
- This is a good idea, is there a way I can skip to the same level using PCSX2 because it worked fine up until this point
  
  If you have a way to burn DVDs, you can use FreeDVDBoot to boot into wlaunchelf, then use a USB drive to backup your memory card using something like Memory Card Annihilator.
  You can also choose to softmod your PS2 with FreeMCBoot or OpenTuna while you're at it, but that's optional.
