PS2 [Open PS2 Loader] Game Bug Reports

[jolek]

Unfortunately on my Slim 70004 the game just crashes during the very first seconds of the cutscene or before that, only got to the menu once of twice on some older OPL version.

Please provide your report in a form because none of us know which device you have used, etc.

Form How it can be done

• Title =
  ID =
  Media =
  OPL version =
  Device =
  Compatibility Mode(s) used =
  VMC =
  PADEMU =

  OPL version = 2212
  Device = USB
  Compatibility Mode(s) used = Not tried
  VMC = Not tried

@TonyClifton @jolek check out this (it should work well via HDD too) and use this.

@TonyClifton @jolek check out this (it should work well via HDD too) and use this.

My only option is USB, I don't want to spend extra on an HDD nor set up a server and have to move my laptop around while playing PS2..
Didn't realize USB/SMB was so slow on PS2, I guess I should be thankfull it works with all games I tested except for Stuntman. Japanese version seems to be trimmed a lot even the intro video is a smaller size, maybe that's why it works well.
Anyway thanks for the suggestion.

EDIT: Apparently Stuntman works with version 0.93 of OPL, menus are slow but it plays fine, shame it's got no PADEMU though.

I tested the game Metal Arms: Glitch in the System (PAL) with r1229 and
still needs Modes 1+2 for work.

- About Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. I had the game with MODE 6 with OPL 0.9.3 if I remeber correctly. I'll check it.

Can you or somebody else try\test this game (Metal Arms: Glitch in the System) on SCPH-75XXX or higher with OPL 2218?
It only works on SCPH-70XXX or lower with modes 1+2+6.

At first I didn't use compatibility modes.
Then after the freezing during Rugnica Plains I had to enable mode 1 or mode 2 I think.

You said Mode 1 or 2; would setting it to both 1 and 2 simultaneously be a better course of action?

It's been a while so I don't really remember but I think don't hurt to try to have both modes enabled.
Unless both of them causes the game to freeze on other places then try to only enabling one of them.

When submitting test results, which OPL Loader should I submit it on, the last stable one which was released a while ago, or the latest beta?

If a game does not work with OPL v1.1.0 but it works with OPL 2221 post both results.
If a game does not work with OPL 2221 & OPL v1.1.0 but it works w OPL 1442 post all results.
If a game does not work with OPL 2221 but it works with OPL v1.1.0 post both results.
If a game does not work with OPL 2221, OPL v.1.1.0 post both results.

In short try the latest beta & the latest stable as minimum.
