So for awhile now my game has been freezing while viewing monster cards.The music keeps going,but it just continues to show the back of the monsters card it stopped on. I can't pause or back out or anything.It's done this before, but after waiting 5 minutes or reinserting the disc it would work.Ever since last summer i've been playing on my PS3 so reinserting the disc is different,you can't just open it like the ps1 you have to take the disc out.I don't think it matters about the amount of cards, because i have about 80 cards, my little brother has 20, and my oldest brother has much more, and it freezes for all of us. What is also strange is that it always freezes around the same spot, Katos,Suezos,and everything in between is what i can't view. Maybe it's a certain scratch on the disc? My real question is Is anyone else having this problem? Any solutions of why it's doing it and how to fix it? I'm looking forward to the replies.

Scratch on the disc is all I can think of. Try holding the disc up in front of a light and looking through it. If you see any spots where light is shining through the disc, that's a spot with missing aluminum (missing information) and it cannot be repaired. If no light is coming through, then there's a chance that resurfacing will fix it. A used record shop should be able to resurface it for about $2.
Alright thanks for the help. While we're at it though i have something else to say. The only reason i started playing on my PS3 was because it was more convenient and Monster Rancher 2 would freeze at the loading screen when playing.Mostly in battles or at the 1P vs 2P mode.It'd take 5 to 10 minutes if it even did end up working.And it happened most of the time with a battle containing a Jell.However when I played on my PS3 it was just fine(besides this card problem). It wasn't the PS1 i don't think because all the other games were fine.So just a little something to say to see if anyone has an idea. Thanks again
I've been trying to get the cards to work. My game does have a few scratches on the bottom but it's most likely from the game spinning, none of them are that deep or even noticeable unless under light. However on the top of the disc with the graphics and art on, their are a few black and blue(the same colors as the monsters on the game disc are) speckles on. I'm not sure if they're supposed to be their, but i think they've been their for awhile now even before the problem was this bad. I'm going to try and play the game on my ps1 and see how things turn out, and then after maybe playing on a different power outlet(I really doubt that'll make a difference, but I gotta try all the possibilities).I'll check with ya guys later with an update.
Idk if you guys want me to edit the posts or not but. UPDATE: I played the game on my PS1 and i can view the cards! It lags a little after a couple but it works unlike playing on my playstation 3. It's not the same file, it's a previous less updated one i have on my PS3 if that matters, I've only gotten about 10 more monster cards since. Is it possible to send memory from my ps3 to a ps3 memory card? Like in reverse?

There's a device called a memory card reader that lets you use PS1 and PS2 cards on a PS3.
Yeah,forgot to mention i have a memory card adapter.And yes I would be able to.Thanks Lisa for the help,though! Glad this mystery is solved,still kinda strange though.
