I bought Rayearth a few months back and played through the game on a PAL Saturn. However, the audio kept skipping in the opening and ending FMV sequences. I tried cleaning the disk and it didn't solve the problem. I then went to a shop to get the disk buffed and the same problem still remains. So my question is does that happen on all versions of the game which are played on a PAL Saturn?

When you try and force it to play on a PAL/50hz console, it doesn't know that it should slow down to keep up, so the audio will skip and will be out of sync with the FMV. Shame you had your disc buffed/resurfaced over this. |

That makes sense, it just seemed strange when other import game simply desync during the cut scenes.

The data is buried deep. So you'd have to buff it A LOT before you begin to actually to cause harm to your disk, and honestly if I showed you the disk now and got you to compare it to one that was fresh out the box. You'd struggle to tell the difference between the two.
