PS2 Max Payne freezes on the Rockstar logo

It works with every OPL version?
How many levers did you try?

I am not sure but it works on that model with 1.2.0 betas. It gets past the video/fmv that causes lockups on older models. It may be something to do with the models that have the DECKARD PPC emulated IOP.

This is a model that is incompatible with FMCB and works with the fortuna exploit.

OPL 1.2.0 Betas start at rev 1792, currently we have rev 1938, so it will be more than ~140 revs...
So which rev did you test?

Do you mean the intro FMV or after staring new game?

It even works as far as I know on 1.1.0 and older versions.

I think it is the Rockstar logo that freezes on older hardware IOP models but works on DECKARD models.

We already talked about Max Payne, but cannot find where. Also here Jolek was able to pass that screen: https://www.psx-place.com/threads/open-ps2-loader-game-bug-reports.19401/page-58#post-308245

I remember testing the game on deckard (I seems to remember through SMB but not sure, it could be USB) and couldn't pass the R logo on certain OPL versions. With newer I could start the game and play normally for a while.
I don't remember if after many loadings it hangs (like Deus Ex), I cannot find the topic where I reported it.
 
Thank you for finding the topic :D

Yes it'd need that test. Anyway by reading the thread I remember that it is not related to deckard but OPL version.
 
Finally I had some free time for tests.
An NTSC version (SLUS_202.30) With OPL 1938 through USB (exFAT & FAT32\.ul) on an SCPH-50004, SCPH-70004 the game freezes after the R⭐ logo:

Works fine on an SCPH-75004 with FAT32 (.ul) file system.
For exFAT it needs mode 6.

How it should be:

A PAL (SLES_503.26) version works fine in every scenario.

It freezes here on my SCPH-70012.

I wonder what makes it have such odd behavior on different hardware. Weird.
Does the game have some kind of USB module issue?
 
Hello there, I recently updated my OPL to 1.2.0 beta to combat this issue, and I got past the Rockstar screen however all I have now is a black screen, any way to fix this particular issue?

EDIT: Fixed, Sorry im a Newbie and Forgot to actually save my config after disabling compability modes

There is an easier way to fix this game:

SLUS_202.30 > Triangle Button > Game Settings > Custom ELF > MAIN.RUN

SLES_503.26 > Triangle Button > Game Settings > Custom ELF > MAIN_P.RUN
