Fix Basil softlock paired with @kozarovv 's performance fix. I typed this all out on my phone so I there may be a typo lol. Anyways, great game, but sick of hearing Basil say "Dandelion!" like 30 times while testing.

Oh man I bet Basil got super annoying fast. I do love the game though. I'm about to sleep but i think i have enough time to test out the config

EDIT: It works! Now i can keep playing, so much for sleep lol.

Shadow Hearts 3 has a freeze. You can skip the cutscene and miss some exposition but i figured id mention cause it hard crashes the ps3 and has to be reset.

After the Deep One battle in the Theatre, the ingame cutscene back in the Garland Office plays a quick CGI of the monster appearing, as that bit fades out it freezes and you have to completely kill the power on ps3.

just go through the door, kill the boss (just smack him and heal). you can skip the 2 cg cutscenes afterwards but the ingame cutscene you have to watch through. Lady will say sea green whirlwind and the cg will start. as it fades out thats the crash point.

At some point all bugs will be looked into, save close to issue is always welcome, even if for now nobody gonna fix it, that make future researchers easier job.

The accurate reports are very useful, and yours has been very accurate so far, without them it would be very hard (or imposible) to fix the problems, so thx to you too
Im enjoying your talks from the silence

Is there any platform where we can collecting the new custom configs?

Is there any platform where we can collecting the new custom configs?

http://ps3.aldostools.org/ps2config.html
https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/releases/download/1.47.30/PS2CONFIG_20200822.pkg
https://store.brewology.com/get/homebrew.php?id=310&fid=2178

Or https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/tree/master/_Projects_/updater/PS2CONFIG/USRDIR/CONFIG

If you need to search & download the CONFIG files from ManaGunZ database use:
http://ps3.aldostools.org/ps2config2.html

Note: This database may return error 404 on some of the new CONFIG files.
The reason of this link is that there are a few files that are different to the ones. They are likely to be an old version, but some of these could work better.

is there any way of only encrypt the CONFIG files without the need to create a PS2 PKG?

 

[aldostools]

is there any way of only encrypt the CONFIG files without the need to create a PS2 PKG?

Method #1
1. Run PS2 Classics GUI
2. Click on Encrypt tab
3. Drag & drop the *.CONFIG file
4. Press Encrypt button
5. The tool will show a warning about the file is not an ISO image. Answer YES to continue.
6. The tool will show another warning asking to add the LIMG segment. Answer NO.
7. Save the encrypted ISO.BIN.ENC

Method #2
1. Create the file ps2.key containing the following 16 bytes:

E4 E5 4F D6 7C 16 C3 16 F4 78 29 A3 04 84 D8 43

2. Copy ps2.key, ps2classic.exe and the *.CONFIG file in the same folder
3. Run the following command from the command prompt:

ps2classic.exe e cex ps2.key SLES_123.45.CONFIG ISO.BIN.ENC ISO.BIN.ENC 2P0001-PS2U10000_00-0000111122223333

Replace SLES_123.45.CONFIG with the file name of your config.

I wanted to try Tak 2 (US) but when I go in a new game it crashes, looked for a config but didn't find anything and can't use PS2 Classics version since it was removed from the store, any help?

Will probably have to wait until it get fixed sadly. I can't find any trace of a config for it. I feel some classics that are missing got removed because they couldnt or didnt want to fix a game. (Sony, that is)

Actually it looks like they removed it because of licensing issues since THQ shut down, no idea about other classics but I'm sure all of them use a config so they work correctly otherwise they probably wouldn't have put them in the store beforehand.

@dkdark @TrollTaco I think it's more on the line that they lost publishing rights to it or something so they are forced to take it down. Unfortunately, Sony's config for that game is lost forever unless someone who has purchased it before can redownload and dump the config for us...otherwise, we will have to manually make a new one (if the problem is ever found).

That one is for the first game not sure if it will work.

True True, i forget Tak is a Nickelodeon licensed game. Also random question, any idea why doing the settings change on Gauntlet Dark Legacy makes the single player work fine, but multiplayer still freezes on level completion? ""You can fix this by adjusting your release check mode to debugging mode & your boot mode to system software mode in debug settings for DEX. Game will then play flawlessly after the first level""
