I am new to this forum and registered solely because of a problem I'm having, but I am unsure as to whether this question belongs in this particular section. If it needs to be moved, I ask the mods to do so but to let me know about it if they do.
Anyway, here's my problem. I played KH1 years ago around the time it came out and replayed it a few times over the years and like many others, aimed to 100% it, which I did once or twice. When KH2 came out, I didn't have as much time so I more or less just cleared it on the normal difficulty and was done with it.
A couple months back, I started playing KH1 again and after 100%-ing it again, I started on KH2 proud mode and started trying to do the same in this game. The only problem is, when I was at around level 20 and the Timeless River thing started, I found that the world was inaccessible to me. The game tried to load the world but it never faded back after going black and my system started making weird noises. Needless to say, that was that. This could be the result of the fact that I am using a backwards compatible PS3 to play it, but more than likely, I believe that this is simply because of the fact that the Disc's condition has deteriorated in the past few years.
Now fortunately, I managed to keep the game going because I had a save game from years ago on my PS3's hard-disk that was saved JUST AFTER the timeless river stuff (which further implies that this isn't the PS3's fault because it must've been able to do Timeless River back then). So, that being the case, I managed to avoid the world altogether and continued on with the game. I recovered anything I'd lost in the switch and all was well. The reason I mentioned that I wanted 100% is because that is where my problem lies. I worked plenty hard the past couple weeks to get the synthesis stuff done and after all my hard work, realized that I'd be missing one of the synthesis materials, Front Stone, as it is only possible to get it from Aeroplanes and Hot-rods, both of which are found exclusively in Timeless River. I have 49 types of items, most of the other stuff synthesized and almost everything necessary to make Ultima Weapon. The problem is, there are only 7 Orichalcum+ in the game and unless I can find a way to get the Frost Stone, I can't get the Orichalcum+ that the moogles give you for getting all the materials.
So here's what I'm wondering,
(i) Is there any information anyone can give me with regards to the problem I'm having? (Disc VS PS3, etc.)
(ii) Is there any other way to get this done? I don't have much hope here, but I'm desperate so I'll take anything.
Oh, and just an added bit of information: It doesn't look like any place near me has the game stocked so buying it again seems unlikely and will at least take some time. Also, I'm not too keen on getting it online but that is the last resort.
