I've *heard* dead to rights 2 works which should be a relief because the load times is horrible.Still waiting to hear if Midnight Club 3 and ...Ratchet and clank 3 up your arsenal works?

No Change: Eyetoy: Antigrav

[vincatzero]

I installed Ratchet and Clank UYA and it still freezes right when you press start. am I supposed to use a certain mode for it?

[thc013]

No Change: Eyetoy: Antigrav


strange thats game is working on a non patched hdl

had troubels with the game myself but when i got the proper backup put it on my hd and worked

maybey when you use solo it works

and great improvements on the hdl patches nice work

[Jaybez]

Tried all modes with Super Monkey Ball but cant get it working.

[vincatzero]

Hot Shots Golf Fore isn't working for anybody?

[Random21]

NOOOOOo! ratchet and clank 3 still doesnt work! well what about the Midnight club 3 usa? works with sound now?

[blm]

Syberia II works now, btw best with mode 1 (Slow HDD) if you ask me.
Only fired the game up though and saved twice just to test if it runs now.

You got it to work? It always does the BSOD with all versions i try.

[blm]

Eyetoy: Antigrav (PAL) is working just fine (no modes needed).
I suppose the version mentioned here, which is not working, is the NTSC version?!

[thc013]

yeps

had the same probs with burnout 3

but with the right torrent backup had no more troubels with games not working as they were stated working think it is how you or they create their backup and the solo ones are working for me

now got worms working with the new hdloader

and the hdloader packed to 194 kb and working in a v11 with no cd from mc

[anigamer]

Just finished Dead to Rights 2. No freezing whatsoever.

[jayjays]

World Snooker Championship Snooker 2005 (PAL) now works with kill HDL after launch set to yes. This game used to have garbled music on the menu and would crash when you tried to start a game. Works perfectly now.

[mooglez]

MTX Mototrax works now with mode 3. Despite what several compatibility lists say, it did not work 100% before. At least not for me. It would freeze randomly, but it works like a charm now.

[breezy]

Has anyone tried a previously patched game to see if it works by itself now that hdl is patched? just curious cause keeping track of all the individual patches is getting cumbersome.

[thunder_gamer]

Can someone test it with Gundam: One Year War? Really want to get that game later. Thanks.

[srtboy]

midnight club 3 ntsc works with hdlpatch 0.6b.

[qazsz]

I patched it, and nothing worked. Bah, guess I did something wrong. >.<

[bigdaddie]

Eyetoy antigrav PAL-version works

[tot31]

The new hdl_patch 0.6 breaks Sonic Heroes

[accadeecee]

The new hdl_patch 0.6 breaks Sonic Heroes
Hmmm, Dunno what problems your having but Sonic Heroes still works fine here

[Quixote]

perhaps sonic heroes needed a date fix that now needs to be set in the modes menu?

[Bounty Bob]

Mad Maestro NTSC still doesn't work. Tried with a few different switches, but all I get is a solid black screen. :banghead:

[tot31]

Hmmm, Dunno what problems your having but Sonic Heroes still works fine here

May I know what settings do you use?Forgot to tell Batman : Rise of SinTzu still not working same as Nanobreaker.

[ADringer]

Does anyone know if Soul Calibur 2 works now without any patching required?

[accadeecee]

May I know what settings do you use?Forgot to tell Batman : Rise of SinTzu still not working same as Nanobreaker. All settings set to "No" for Sonic Heroes

[p6447]

Azumi (JAP) works fine with HDL 0.6b.

[TsiAileron]

Got it working... Crimson Sea 2(NTSC) and Suikoden IV(NTSC) still don't work. =(

[DJZeroK]

Does anyone know if Soul Calibur 2 works now without any patching required?

still not working without patching, sux, but im glad some of the new games work now. does anyone know if amplitude works now? my brother loves that game and it would be cool to run of the hdd

[Zer0-X]

Amplitude, Crash Twinsanity, Airforce Delta Strike = Still not working.

[john_matrix]

Does anyone know if Splinter Cell - Pandora Tomorrow works with or without compatibility mode ?
Thx

[tot31]

All settings set to "No" for Sonic Heroes

That's the same settings as mine but I got black screen.Tried patching without the /G option still the same.

[accadeecee]

That's the same settings as mine but I got black screen.Tried patching without the /G option still the same.Patched everything except "/B" and already had Sonic Heroes on the HDD (From memory I transferred the Original via the DVD drive in the Sony)

On another note I noticed while looking around a report of "Cold Fear" PAL working. Will test this game in the next few days to confirm.

[crazyc]

Amplitude, Crash Twinsanity, Airforce Delta Strike = Still not working.

Do any of these games work with USBA or toxic .3?

[InfinaRacer]

My GOW dvd9 freezes upon certain treasures and when I load my old game. This happens with turning slow hdd access on and off and also old dvd9 support option.

[srtboy]

i apologize i was wrong the music doesnt work. there is only music when it is loading.

[InfinaRacer]

srtboy, if you were directing that at me, I never said I don't believe it works. I've read in several threads here and another site that say it works. I'm just asking for help so I can get it to work too.

[InfinaRacer]

What options are necessary to run gow. Some combos don't even let it get past the SCEA screen

[srtboy]

the click gow downsampled release works for me with no setting enabled. although ive only played it to the first save point.

[InfinaRacer]

I beat the game on dvd5 confusion release, but now I would like to see the treasures and play Challenge of the Gods with the dvd9 backup.

[squarepusher2]

I've always been able to play Ridge Racer V on HDLoader - it would crash once in a while tho.

[accadeecee]

I've always been able to play Ridge Racer V on HDLoader - it would crash once in a while tho.It's been reported to work without crashing by some, Hence an improvement over the original HDL

[NuGundam]

Can someone test it with Gundam: One Year War? Really want to get that game later. Thanks.
Gundam:OYW doesn't work. I still get the pink screen of death.

[by-tor74]

Contra : shattered soldier still not working at least for me.

[grandreaper]

Does anyone know if Toxic OS 0.3 has this UAB problem corrected, cause if it doesn't compatability of modified HDLs may be better than Toxicos 0.3

[rumble_sushi]

lego star wars still doesn't work for me, are any modes needed?

[anigamer]

^^ no modes needed. Are you sure you patched it right?

[Angelus3X]

Just wondering with this patch does it mean all games now see the network adapter??

[rumble_sushi]

sure did, it works fine, with the updated modes etc, other games boot, lego starts some hdd activity, the controller light comes on, then it just goes black.

I didn't use the gradius patch or the no seek patch.

[dtdfusion]

crimson sea 2 (US) and time crisis: crisis zone (US) still don't work. please prove me wrong.

[odeon]

sure did, it works fine, with the updated modes etc, other games boot, lego starts some hdd activity, the controller light comes on, then it just goes black.

I didn't use the gradius patch or the no seek patch.

Lego Star Wars needs the Gradius patch.

[rumble_sushi]

that's very strange, just made a new patch with the /N patch and the gradius fix and it works.

[Sleestak]

Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3 still doesn't work. I doubt if anyone other than me cares, though. ;)

[DJZeroK]

ok, maybe i mist this when i looked in the thread, but with this new patch can just install GOW and GT4 without any other patching? i know that they are dvd9 and to play them with the .5c patch i would have to patch the game and then put it in the hdd, can just do a straight install by pc using winhip and play it without converting these games to dvd5?

[Cordy]

@rumble_sushi
It doesn't matter what other patches you put, like odeon says it requires the gradiusv patch (unaligned buffer) otherwise it won't work. So you can add the new compatability modes and anything else like that, and it will still work.

[Vegeta]

Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3 still doesn't work. I doubt if anyone other than me cares, though. ;)

Its always worked for me, even on the older patched HDL with no modes enabled.

I installed the DVD iso via WinHIIP.

[dlanor]

that's very strange, just made a new patch with the /N patch and the gradius fix and it works.
That's not at all strange.
The 'Gradius' fix is not Gradius specific, and is one of two main changes, adding more game compatibility to HDL with v0.6b of the patcher.
(the other main change is of course the new DVD9 mode.)

Without the "Gradius" fix there would be no improvement for any DVD5 games.
(Which matches your earlier results.)

Best regards: dlanor

[Sleestak]

Its always worked for me, even on the older patched HDL with no modes enabled.

I installed the DVD iso via WinHIIP.

Really? I'll have to try installing via WinHIIP. With a regular install it loads but locks up all the time.

[Hello_Kitty]

Viewtiful Joe 2 worked on my HDL, with the original HDLoader with no modes

[MasterSun1]

I thought Viewtiful Joe 2 always worked? Maybe they meant Viewtiful Joe 1?

[InfinaRacer]

My dvd9 gow plays beautifully using the toxic/patched hdl version winhiip. I believe it's 1.7. This solved my earlier problem.

[ffr30]

Full Spectrum Warriors it's not compatible. How? Settings?

[thunder_gamer]

Gundam:OYW doesn't work. I still get the pink screen of death.

Thank you for testing. :)

[marti]

Which patch switches were used to get world championship snooker 05 PAL to work, it still does not work with "kill hdl" on my patched clean elf

[Random21]

Just a reminder,Ratchet and clank 3 up your arsenal and Midnight club 3 doesn't work...

Just a reminder..

[ruffnutts]

full spectrum warrior not working?

[Menace]

My dvd9 gow plays beautifully using the toxic/patched hdl version winhiip. I believe it's 1.7. This solved my earlier problem.


but of course u extracted the whole dvd9 with dvd decrypter an Then dumpd it via the new winhiip right ?

just wondering here as i want to try this with the retail dvd9

[LoganUlm]

does anybody know if constantine works with this new patch?

[accadeecee]

does anybody know if constantine works with this new patch?As yet I've only tried a few combinations of modes, No change as yet.
What is interesting me at the moment is "Socom II PAL" unpatched (Previously Incompatible). I've had it working with 5 different combinations of modes out of 20 that I've tried, Problem is,the 5 separate mix of modes that work.... work only once. I was also able to pass DNAS check from HDD (Logged in to Socom II online) on one such occasion to download the update to memory card, only to freeze once download was complete.

[wer rambo]

does anybody know if Star wars battle front works with this new patch?

[Angelus3X]

Havnt tried the normal HDL but HDL 0.6b works with Haunting Ground PAL (new game from Capcom).

Also LEGO Star Wars confirmed working.

[devilboy1488]

Soul Calibur 2 Stopped Working for me

[bbb77]

I've tried a lot of combinations for SOCOM II but NOTHING!!!!
Accadeecee, can you help me???

I've a PAL version but NO patch works for me!!!
HHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPPP!!!!!

[HayArms]

Wowo, wait a sec .

Does DNAS on HDL now work?

Bye

[Phreaker47]

I know this will be devastating news to many of you, but Wheel of Fortune NTSC still doesn't work. Try to cope.

[anigamer]

I think the option for going online is just for playing LAN (which by tunneling, you can go online), but not the online mode itself.

[TsiAileron]

Someone stated this already, but Haunting Ground PAL works fine except for choppy ingame cinemas and unless you skip the one at the main gate, it will freeze.

[Dark_Killer]

Some of my personal findings:

Dead To Rights 2 (NTSC) - works fine
Narc (NTSC DVDRiP) - freezes at beginning of first mission. could possibly be a problem with the rip since there were other reports of it working
Sega Classics Collection (NTSC) - still freezes when selecting VR Racing

[Angelus3X]

Someone stated this already, but Haunting Ground PAL works fine except for choppy ingame cinemas and unless you skip the one at the main gate, it will freeze.

Yea I got choppy in game cinema too, maybe slow HDD will fix it?

Where is the main gate? I've played up untill the first save point with no freezes. (Talking bout Haunting Ground here)

[accadeecee]

I've tried a lot of combinations for SOCOM II but NOTHING!!!!
Accadeecee, can you help me???

I've a PAL version but NO patch works for me!!!
HHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPPP!!!!!
Try this mode combo:
YES, NO, YES, YES, NO, YES. with and without memory card, and disc tray open and closed. Believe me it's very hit and miss, Sometimes it will work, and then the next time you reset it, with absolutely no variables changed, what worked before, won't work again.

[strikeuk]

I know this will be devastating news to many of you, but Wheel of Fortune NTSC still doesn't work. Try to cope.

OMG NOOoooooo :p

Wowo, wait a sec .

Does DNAS on HDL now work?

Bye

You'll never get past DNAS. If you take note it says LAN not online. If you want to play online you'll have to use your original disk.

[TsiAileron]

Yea I got choppy in game cinema too, maybe slow HDD will fix it?

Where is the main gate? I've played up untill the first save point with no freezes. (Talking bout Haunting Ground here)

I'm about 8 hours in and that seems to be the only place it froze up.

The scene is easilly recognizable and doesn't really ruin anything. When she starts beating on the gate, skip the cinema. =)

Also, i've tried multiple combinations with the modes, and none of them fixed the choppy cinemas.

[EniGmaH]

After using the HDLpatch 0.6B, I found that MVP Baseball 2005 isn't working anymore. It's always used mode 3. Can anyone confirm this or am I the only one with this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

[bbb77]

Thanx!!
I'll try it and hope it runs........almost twice!!!
Eheheheheh, however thanx again!

[Ava Pug]

I can tell you that Capcom VS SNK 2 works for me now.

[MasterSun1]

It works, with the background music? I know with the original HDLoader, the game worked fine for me, but just didn't have the background music.

On another note, my friend tested Growlanser Generations. Both games (II and III) seem to save fine now with the Date/Time Fix 2 enabled. Anybody care to confirm?

[DJZeroK]

has anyone tried SRS and YuGiOh card something? my brothers games, i deleted them since they kept crashing ramdomly.

[Breathern]

Growlanser 3 worked fine for me before I installed this patch. I never tried the second one though.

[_zaphod_]

Haven't tried capsule monsters yet, but I suspect it's still broken. Did you have it installed with winhiip whejn it was crashign for you? I've tried EVERYTHING so far...

I CAN confirm that midway arcade treasures 1 and 2 STILL crash in the menus.

[_zaphod_]

Just tested yu-gi-oh again, STILL bombs no matter what I do, has ANYONE ever been able to play thru this thing from HD like that site claims?

[DJZeroK]

my brother played i think 3 rounds before it crashes, when i had it on the hd, anyone try srs yet?

[Sleestak]

Its always worked for me, even on the older patched HDL with no modes enabled.

I installed the DVD iso via WinHIIP.

I tried installing "Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3" via WinHIIP and it still locks up. Are you sure yours is working 100%?

[grandreaper]

Hotshots golf 3 NTSC no longer freezes at "VS" result screen

[Phreaker47]

I CAN confirm that midway arcade treasures 1 and 2 STILL crash in the menus.

Oh yeah, I still remember that happening. I don't know about MAT1, but on MAT2 the menus only crash if you wait long enough for one of the video demos from the selected game to try to load. If you very quickly move through the menu and pick the game you want before that happens, the game will load and work.

[MasterSun1]

I can tell you that Capcom VS SNK 2 works for me now.

Does it work 100% with no problems? I just installed it using WinHIIP 1.7 and it the game still has no BGM. It was the same with the original HDLoader. Did you enable any new modes?

[_zaphod_]

[OEP]

I could have sworn that Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero didn't work before, but I re-installed it and now it does..

[t00p]

TXR 0 worked fine all along

[Gerg8606]

There is a new strategy RPG out called Stella Deus. It's similar to say Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea, or La Pucelle. I was using an unpatched version of hdl and it wouldn't get past the "checking memory card" screen. I patched it and it now works. Superior job guys.

Nothing, nulla, nada, niet!!!!
My Socom II PAL version on my PAL PS2 does not works!!!

I tried ALL combinations (Accadeecee one too) but is always the SAME thing......
The game starts, I see the memory check, then I heard a "STACK" from the HHD and appears to me the browser...........shit!!!!

P.s.: I'm an Italian boy, sorry for my English.........
Someone can help me??? I've tried your patch too........

[accadeecee]

bbb77 if you haven't had it boot at all then chances are it will never boot for you untill an appropriate PAL patch is released or HDLoader advancements allow the game to be playable. For me, I am able to get the game to boot on very rare occasions, but the amount of time spent resetting the machine and loading up the game again becomes very annoying, very fast.
If you still wish to persist in trying this game out, then a few suggestions... Stick with the mode setting I stated earlier, Make sure that when you patched HDLoader you also enabled the /G option (Gradius V patch), and if it your not actually playing the game within the first 15 attempts then forget it.

[bbb77]

Unfortunately I've already tried ALL you have said, but without happening...... I'll wait for something with eagerness for the PAL version.
Thanx a lot for everything!

[Ava Pug]

Does it work 100% with no problems? I just installed it using WinHIIP 1.7 and it the game still has no BGM. It was the same with the original HDLoader. Did you enable any new modes?
Yes it works with BGM, no modes enabled. I used HDL_Dumb (http://hdldump.ps2-scene.org/) to transfer.

Thats weird, it always worked for me with the original HDloader.
Never worked for me until now.

[MasterSun1]

I don't know, but for some reason, Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 (USA) still has no BGM when I install it via HDLoader, WinHIIP, or PS2 HD Handiness.

[MasterSun1]

Now that I think about it, from looking at some of your respective locations, could you guys be refering the PAL version of the game? Because that version works fine with any version of HDLoader.

As for another topic, I can confirm that Gitaroo-Man (USA, NTSC) works fine with HDLoader Fully Patched after enabling Date/time fix 2. Before, when trying to save, the game would take you back to the PS2 Browser. Now, it saves fine.

[MasterSun1]

On another topic, for some reason, God of War (Flattened DVD9 iso) on my friend's PS2 would freeze whenever trying to save. Date/Time Fix 2 corrected this, but I found this unusual as I never had to enable any modes using HDLoader Fully Patched for God of War. Can anybody else speculate?

[TsiAileron]

As for another topic, I can confirm that Gitaroo-Man (USA, NTSC) works fine with HDLoader Fully Patched after enabling Date/time fix 2. Before, when trying to save, the game would take you back to the PS2 Browser. Now, it saves fine.

Gitaroo Man always worked for me with no modes enabled on an unpatched HDL.

[MasterSun1]

Gitaroo Man always worked for me with no modes enabled on an unpatched HDL.

I'm not sure, but I always heard mix reports. On *****.com, it's was listed as "ambiguous". Some said Mode 3 fixed it, but for most it didn't. In any case, Gitaroo-Man seems to work 100% now.

[Paro-Da]

Mastersun + Others: same here with no BGM on Capcom Vs Snk2 USA via any HDloader version, i just started playing that as well so it kinda sucks when i want to play the arcade realistic version (compared to the altered Xbox version "EO").

If anyone can get Pop N Music 10 to work i'll be forever greatful, as i bought the LE w/ controller and can't play it at all.

Guidelines for NOW WORKING and NO CHANGE games list (including LAN and ONLINE):

Games will be listed as NOW WORKING or NO CHANGE (With comments if applicable) according to reports made.

Games that have been listed as NOW WORKING or NO CHANGE may be listed as unconfirmed untill further reports are made.

Games that have conflicting reports will have "Mixed Reports" added to comments

When posting, Please state which region you have tested, as certain games are region specific to whether they work or not.

This list is highly dependant on USER SUBMISSIONS, if a game that is posted as working/no change, feel free to test it for yourself and post your experiences. For some, a game that does not work for them, may work for you. I myself have experienced this many times (Games listed as not working that actually work).

If you have a possible solution/fix for a game by all means post it, but before posting please test it first if possible.

To confirm a game as "Now Working", play at least to the end of the first level.... OR post in what way it has changed to the previous incarnation of HDLoader.

If you have a question as to whether or not a game works, please use the "Search Button" first, OR test it for yourself, your input, be it noob or veteran may help many others out.

Disclaimer: Every game that now works, is due to the efforts of many people within the scene. Credits go to <G>, Zer0-X, crazyc, Clement and many many others. These people have spent time, money, and effort to help us, the end user out, so please give everyone within the scene the respect they deserve.
As previously stated many games within this list have been submitted by various members of this forum, the accuracy of such a list depends on those members, please keep this in mind.

List may be updated at any time, please read entire thread for revisions.

Crimson Sea 2 (NTSC)
NOT WORKING!

[KaylaKaze]

This patch broke my Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance save. I'm guessing it's a datefix thing somewhere, but I BSOD'd when saving and it destroyed my save. Now it BSODs whenever trying to load the list of saves.

EDIT:
I managed to use some trickery to redate the save file and it was able to load the save. I'm trying it on datefix 1 now. Can someone explain the datefixes?

[Zer0-X]

Best would be Crazyc as he came up with the various fixes.

[dlanor]

This patch broke my Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance save. I'm guessing it's a datefix thing somewhere, but I BSOD'd when saving and it destroyed my save. Now it BSODs whenever trying to load the list of saves.

EDIT:
I managed to use some trickery to redate the save file and it was able to load the save. I'm trying it on datefix 1 now. Can someone explain the datefixes?Okay, I'll try to do so, though crazyc is the one with the 'deepest' info on how he actually coded the fixes.

The basic problem for most games is that Sjeep left out some of the functions from his implementation of the CDVD driver. One (at least) of those functions is intended to read the realtime clock for making a timestamp, though some games use its return value for other things too (eg: randomization). Sjeep didn't realize that this function was needed (it's *identical* to another function which he did implement), so he just let it return a constant value, regardless of time... The result was garbage timestamps for saves, in some cases causing the games to regard them as corrupt and refuse loading.

crazyc first fixed this problem simply by patching the function pointer for this unimplemented function, so that it would instead execute its 'twin' function that Sjeep had implemented, as mentioned above. This fixed the problems for 99% of all games, but a few games still had problems that seemed related to timestamps. For these crazyc developed additional fixes that cure these games, but unfortunately break compatibility with LOTS of other games.

In versions 0.5x of hdlpatch, the patches were known as /D0, /D1, /D2 and /D3, where:

/D0 == The code Sjeep wrote, unfixed. Breaks timestamps for many games.
/D1 == Adds the missing function. Corrects timestamps for most games.
/D2 == Like /D1 + game specific patches. Breaks timestamps for many games.
/D3 == Like /D1 + game specific patches. Breaks timestamps for many games.

As you can see, it is only /D1 that can be considered a generic solution, with /D2 and /D3 being useful ONLY for the specific games they fix. And /D0, of course, serves no real purpose whatever, as it is just the original bug.

With hdlpatch 0.6b, you no longer have to make separate ELFs for each patch, but can instead choose this individually per game, and have this choice saved with the other mode bits. But unfortunately the default mode is /D0, which does break the timestamps of many games. This has been discussed lot lately, resulting in agreement that the next version will use /D1 as default instead, as that will fix the timestamps for nearly all games.

Best regards: dlanor

[KaylaKaze]

Thanks, that makes since. I think I was previously using a datefixed version without really knowing it which is why Baldur's Gate was working. Setting Datefix 1 fixed the problem and since I was able to redate the offending file, it's all good :)

[Angelus3X]

I've never noticed any games I've played have incorrect time stamps, what games have this problem??

Most notable games I've played without time stamp problems would be:

Haunting Ground
Obscure
MGS3
San Andreas
God of War
LEGO Star Wars

thats all I can think of at the moment.

BTW Does HDL 0.6b contain the God of War FiX?

[crazyc]

They don't except the final one.

[dlanor]

I've never noticed any games I've played have incorrect time stamps, what games have this problem??
I can't mention them all here, as there would be no sense in making such a mega-post. More than half of all games existing are probably affected by this bug.

Just to mention some of them briefly, you can see the problem with most Squaresoft games. Just save game in FFX (for example) and then reboot and inspect that save in the PS2 browser to check its timestamp. If you used HDL with the /D0 patch, then the timestamp will be insane.

Most notable games I've played without time stamp problems would be:
Some games do use the time function that was included in original HDL and those do work with it, but most use another time function and will get bad timestamps with original HDL, or when using patch /D0. In many cases it is still possible to play an affected game without noticing the bug, but it is still there, and may have effects that matter even if you don't notice them. (eg: This is the case for FFX)

One common effect is that when you go to a game load screen, it will not correctly show the latest save highlighted. This is because it has the same timestamp as other files, so the game fails to identify the most recent one.

Another effect, far less common but much more serious, is when games use that time function for other things than timestamps, such as timing-based randomization seeds for random event generation. Since the /D0 function always returns the same value, no randomization occurs, and the game may become very repetitive. I even heard of one game where the normally random battles stopped occurring completely...! (I don't remember which it was though.)

BTW Does HDL 0.6b contain the God of War FiX?
Yes, Zer0-X said it's part of the new DVD9 fix.

oke so for most games I need to press assign the D1 patch individually now? To all of the games on my HD?

[Ava Pug]

Now that I think about it, from looking at some of your respective locations, could you guys be refering the PAL version of the game? Because that version works fine with any version of HDLoader.
I'm using the JAP NTSC version.

[dlanor]

oke so for most games I need to press assign the D1 patch individually now? To all of the games on my HD?
For HDL patched by hdlpatch 0.6b, that's what you need to do. But D1 will become the new default in the next version of hdlpatch 0.6c, and then the settings made for 0.6b will need to be changed.

So then you will either have to repeat this setup for all games again, so as to get the default, or else use HDL_Dump to install some new ISO, as that will reset the Date/timefix setting to the default value for all games. I'll use the latter method myself, as it is more convenient for me. But those with few games may prefer to fix their settings manually again.

After that you should never need to repeat this 'global' setup, as there should never be any reason to change the Date/timefix default from D1 to anything else. If any improved patch is made that works for all games, then it will simply replace the current D1 patch, so no settings will be affected by that.

Please double-check if you get this error with Date/timefix 1 active.

With current hdlpatch 0.6b, the default mode is /D0, which lacks one time function, and this has been reported to cancel some random battle effects for some games in the past. This is because the 'missing function' is used for random event generation, and with /D0 it erroneously returns the same value every time, so no random events occur.

It could very well be the same thing that happened to you.

thanks for your quick reply, i tried different combination of timefix modes and there are still no ennemies in freeplay mode, i guess in other games that would use this function it could be considered as a major bug, but yet this is the first game i have encountered with this kind of bug

Still, the symptoms are so similar to that other bug I mentioned, as you have the random battles when playing from disc, but none at all when playing from HDLoader. It makes me suspect that there may be additional 'missing functions', of similar kind to the one crazyc added for 'Date/timefix 1'.

Once the next hdlpatch version (0.6d) is released, it will be interesting to know if you still have the same problem, when trying the new bugfixed version of "Date/timefix 3".

Pacific Warriors II: Dogfight PAL Now Working

[accadeecee]

Dlanor, Just tried LEGO Starwars PAL after adding crazyc's new D3 date/timefix .ips patch to HDL 0.6c patched. Selected Date/Timefix 3 in the compatibility menu, still no enemies. Tried a few other combinations to no avail. Was worth a try anyway.

[Zer0-X]

You must select fixes 2 & 3 both or the patch from the ips-file gets overwritten by the now built-in fixes.

[accadeecee]

You must select fixes 2 & 3 both or the patch from the ips-file gets overwritten by the now built-in fixes.o.k. will give it a try and see what happens, thanks for the heads up.

[cause_of_chaos]

Just ripped Sonic Heroes onto the HDD using my PS2 and Clean HDL. Boots fine with HDL 0.6b with no modes. Only prob is that it is default Japanese!!! Have 2 change the language. Time problem maybe???

[crazyc]

o.k. will give it a try and see what happens, thanks for the heads up.

*Edit* still no enemies in free play with 2 & 3 selected.

Did it require the Gradius patch? If so try the new uab patch.

[accadeecee]

Yep it required the Gradius V fix. Just applied both the new, D3 and SC2 patch to an already hdlpatch_0.6c patched elf and tested Lego Starwars, No change with mode 3 enabled (Set D2 and D3 to yes). I'm transferring SC2 over now to make sure something hasn't gone wrong with my patching process.


*Edit* Soul Calibur 2 booted fine with the new patch. LEGO Starwars, No Change. GT4 now not working after applying SC2 patch

[Zer0-X]

Ok, so it's better to give SC2 patch it's own option.

[accadeecee]

Yep, seems that way. Till then I gotta get used to booting 2 separate elfs, Doh! I was getting used to only using one.

[accadeecee]

Just used crazyc's revised patch both GT4 and SC2 work fine. Might not be a need for its own option afterall.

Star Wars Starfighter (NTSC) and Romance of the 3 Kindoms VIII (NTSC).

But they work great on the slower drives. Ive tried using mode 1, mode 3, and mode 1+3 in the compatibility menu but doesnt work on the 400gb drive.

I did follow these steps...rip by DVDdecryter---> Use WinHiip 1.7.2 trasfer the image---->Open it with HDloader 0.6d----->freze at the first screen of the game.

Which HDL version are you use to play it and work fine?

[DJZeroK]

i asked the same thing and didnt really get an answer, but i got the dvd5 version and it works great. it loads fast and no problems, i didnt know what modes to put but i have it on mode 1,3

Maybe in the compatable list just say the DVD5 version work, not DVD9.
I wish in the next HDL version can install DVD9 game direct from PS2.
Can it be?

[yabla]

Poraemon:

Probably not. I think crazyc and zero-x are mostly messing around with the hdloader core which runs on the IOP.

One could write an external app to install games though. Maybe something like that will come out of the "free hdloader" project?

[FiercePancake]

I've noticed with the new loader that for PARAPPA THE RAPPER 2 to work and not hang at the first "Beard Burgers" level you should specify Kill HDL and Disable UAB Patch.

[digitalFX]

Anyone get BMX XXX to work with 0.6d yet?

Worked with the original HDL...still works with 0.6d...

[MasterSun1]

I installed Neo Contra (NTSC) via WinHIIP 1.7.2, UNPATCHED, and the game played fine. Viewtiful Joe (NTSC) still needed a patch to run fine. However, I'm wondering if a patch is still necessary for Jak 3 (NTSC) to run. I installed an UNPATCHED version, but it froze. I installed a PATCHED version and it froze, but then I just found out Mode 3 needed to be enabled, and doing so let the game run fine. I'm just wondering with the HDL 0.6d Patch is Jak 3 still needs to be patched. If nobody else has interest in testing this, I might later tonight.

[MasterSun1]

And is is true that Contra: Shattered Soldier (NTSC) works fine if installed via PC?

[crazyc]

Phantom Brave requires UAB to be turned off or else it hangs.

Posted in hdlpatch thread a new patch to fix this.

[ShortFuse]

Ratchet and Clank works...better than before. Before, on my HDLoader, i used to go into the game, create my save but once in game and pressed a button it froze. Now it goes a little further and then the controller locks up, the audio loops, and the enemies just finish me off and kill me. I don't know why people say this game doesn't boot, because it boots fine for on my original HDLoader disc, it's just playing that gives me a problem. I'm talking about Up Your Arsenal. I used no modes and am using HDloader 0.6d. It seems to look up because of the memory card. Let me try playing without it.
Okay, tried it. It just locks up after the first cutscene after you go in game. It's a shame.

yes, contra shattered soldier usa works when PC installed. Also I have found making iso's using iso buster helped install some problem games such as this. just tell isobuster to replace any bad data.

[djchu]

using hdl 0.6d, kof 2002 usa or jap (i have both original dvds), have some initial slowdown when i choose roulette. after win 1st battle, the roulette begins sort and the slowdown happens before choose random chars. another issue is sometimes game hangs between rounds. freezes at black screen in minutes or an hour. i tried many combinations of modes, no success. usb extreme doesn't have this roulette slowdown, and after several hours playing, no hangs or freezes, just slow loadings, normal issue. sorry by bad english. ;)

Anyone tested midnight club 3? is it working with music now?47 posts... and 90% of them mention Midnight Club 3 or R&C 3. Bud your obsessed, get over it :rant:

[Zer0-X]

Did someone mention that the Slow HDD access (Mode 1) affected MC3 in some way?

[accadeecee]

Yeh, that and Kill HDL. The NTSC version apparently works better than the PAL. My PAL MC3 freezes when loading up a saved career, but to work around this I start a new game, quit it.... then load my saved career. As for the music, the song titles just scroll at the bottom of the screen so fast that they become a blur, but no actual music plays during races.

pls help me, i've been trying to make dvd9 GOW work on my hdd, does hdloader v0.7b allow me to install GOW from my PS2? thanx!

[thetenthday]

As far as I'm aware, you'd need to use the newer versions of hdldump or winhiip that are specially designed to transfer the dual-layered games. You won't be able to install them from the PS2's tray.

[totnakz05]

i can't install them even if i use v0.7b?

[DJZeroK]

any dvd9 game needs to be riped from the dvd with dvd decrypt as an iso. you should get the full file (over 4.7gb) then you need to use hdl dump or winhiip 1.7.2 and install the iso. their is now way to put a dvd9 game straight from the ps2 to hdd. (that i know of)

the only thing that hdl 0.7b does is make dvd9 games playable on the hdd without the need to flatten or patching or converting of any kind

Works fine for me, the CSiSO release (I think that's who released it, there's only 1 proper of it), ever since the retail HDLoader (I have the legit DVD of HDL), up until 0.6b (haven't tried 0.7b yet)

[totnakz05]

wuts d best cdr media brand to burn for the ps2? cuz im trying to burn 0.7b but my ps2 is having trouble reading the sony cdr.. thanks!

[DJZeroK]

well so far all this is great work with the new patches. thanx to CraZy and Zer0-X. i did play T.H.U.G. with mode 3 and 4. it loads up and i can play the first level, but when loading to the second level (NYC) its just hangs. oh well, ill just play T.H.U.G. 2 i guess

[totnakz05]

i have a question, the modes (1-3) are all gone from the select menu in the new hdloader patched version (0.7), will the older games that worked before, with some modes enabled, work in this new patch?

[totnakz05]

wuts d news on lego star wars? im using v0.7b and i still get no enemies on free play...

[chamal]

please tell me if xenosaga ep1 works on the new hdlpatch0.7 or still requires a memory card save!
thanx in advance

[Hello_Kitty]

i have problems saving in Jak and Daxter The Precursor Legacy (yeah the old game)

when you start a new game, it sucessfully creates a file on the MC, with good timestamp (i activated timefix 1 for that) but when i save my game, the console freezes

tried with hdloader 0.6b

tested with 0.7b:

Pop'n Music Best Hits works for me way before the new patch, without any fix.

[chamal]

I installed xenosaga ep1 full dvd 9 (7.5 go) with winhiip 1.7.2 and used the new zerox's hdlpatch 7b and i can confirm that the game works perfectly without using any flatting, patches or previous game save...
:D

[woodyos]

Did you use the MGS2:S version or regular?

[leidout]

not sure if this is news, but Ring of Red (us ntsc) works now with no modes necessary, i'm using hdl v.7b

[robsta]

Just a quick question... Will this patch eliminate the need for me using my HD Advance 2.1 disk. And secondly if this isnt the case will it work with HD-Advance instead of HD Loader?

[woodyos]

I installed Xenosaga episode 1 today (DVD9) with hdl_dumb 0.8.0 and I got the radar-issue (only radar showing up on new game). Do I need to install it with 0.8.1 or WINHIIP? I've tried several modes already.
I have the 0.7b patched HDLoader.

[_zaphod_]

STILL no change for capsule monster colluseum, and still no change for Midway Arcade Treasures (we cna add NTSC to the list fo rthose as well)

I think people will have an easier time trying to debug midway arcade treasures, as it crashes when the game tries to show a video preview of the selected game.

use winhiip 1.7.2 for xenosaga ep1 and hdlpatch 7.0b enabling mode 2 (time) and xenosaga will work properly. however i suggest u to back up all your games before using winhiip because you used hdldump and this would mauybe create a conflict and may erase your data on your hdd so better safe than sorry.

If anyone is having trouble getting Contra Shattered Soldier NTSC usa to work with HDL 0.7b try this out. same goes for any CD game that wont install via HDL on the PS2.

Make the bin and cue of the game using cdrwin,
Click on Extract Disc/Tracks/Sectors and use RAW, CD-TEXT, and MCN/ISRC.
Error Recovery: Ignore
Jitter Correction: Disable
Subcode Analysis: Fixed
Data Speed 1x Read Retry Count 20
Audio Speed 1x Subcode Threshold 300
Click start

When Bin/Cue is made use the newest WinHIIP to transfer image to the HDD.
Select CD instead of DVD before transfer.

Put the HDD back into the PS2, load up the new HDL 0.7b (its 0.7c now) and play the game without changing any modes.

I hope this helps, as it works great for me.

I saw it asked but no answer... easy to do on a 200+ post thread...

Star Wars: Battlefront

Does the 0.7c patch now allow for LAN play.... I know that the single player has been successfully fixed some time ago.... but with the new network fix does this allow this game to play.... I know that the DNAS will not allow online play (not a prob) just want a good LAN party to get going.

I have successfully played LAN games on all different planets and scenarios no problems.

Trouble is it only generates at any one time, about six of your AI team mates, so you spend most of your time trying to find someone to takedown rather than the fast action of the single player game.

[Stealth-kill]

Tenchu Fatal Shdows Pal works

[InfinaRacer]

Do the .hack games work on this release or the newest .7c release?

[zabolyx]

heres one... is Ace Combat actually working now?

Just got it and I'm only on level 5.... heard that it only workd on the first 20 levels or so... it will be a while before I hit (and hopefully pass) that barrier.

[rumble_sushi]

has anyone tried virtua quest? :)

[richierich09]

Anyone try Strikers 1 and 2 (CD)....I have yet to get it to work.

Also does Midway Arcade treasures 1 work now? does it even play games at all?
