Hi all, having trouble getting the latest release of SMS (1.9 rev 2) to work off the HDD in the BM. I made sure the PBAT script has "SHUTDOWN "MM"" in it, but still no dice... it hangs initializing it. I used to run SMS 1.9r2 off my memory card using the PSX disc exploit.... to I have to revert to that in order to run it or do I need to do something else to make SMS work?
Thanks in advance!
Booting ULE and SMS from the HDD from within BM has been a known issue since the HDD feature was implemented in R29. HDL however is booting just fine from the HDD. ULE and SMS however boot just fine from the MC so why in the world would you resort to using the exploit to do so? :crazy:
Booting hdl isn't working for me on MC or hdd! I still haven't figured it out! I thought it was a bug with the new software but others seem to have it working! Thanks! :rant:Quote:

@spedmetal: Was the way I used to load up the those apps, wasn't sure if I maybe was just missing a step somewhere.
My hdl's will not even boot from within ULE with the new BM & firmware! The only way I can get hdl to work is from my patched discs(0.7c & 0.8b). I have hdl installed to both MC & hdd but no go with either of those right now! If another release doesn't come soon then I may revert back to 29 because ULE,SMS,& HDL was working well then. Thanks! :rolleyes:Quote:

So there's no way firmware or BM could interfere with HDL when HDL is started by uLE. Regarding this and the fact that you're the only one having problems with HDL, I'd say it's a buggy HDD or something else, but has nothing to do with BM. Why don't you just install R29 again to see if HDL really works good with that? At least you could quit the whining when it works again.;)Quote:

@Jones23:
I'm not whining & I'm not the only CC user that's had problems with HDL either! :rant: You're telling me it has nothing to do with the new software or BM but why since the upgrade did the problems start Jones? I too thought it may be an hdd problem but nothing else from hdd is giving me problems except hdl! I feel something with the installation of the new BM & firmware has done something so that would mean there is a problem with the new software, wouldn't it? My hdd in this CC has been working perfectly with all the compatable games until the recent installation of new BM & firmware. I was just explaining my problems & not whining about it! Maybe someone else might catch a drift of what I say & find something! That's all!
The hdd isn't showing any map partition problems either because my games are all working from hdl discs! I'm lost to what is the actual problem here!
I will revert back to 29 if a new release doesn't come shortly! I like the new BM but until the problems can be found then I certainly would feel better off with 29 instead. I have a total of 8 applications installed to MC & even more to hdd & all work just fine except hdl. I even have that installed to both MC & hdd but neither will work. Thanks Jones! ;)
Well, if someone reports a problem once or twice, I call it bug report, but if someone makes ten posts a day about the same problem, I call it whining.:p ;)
I used HDL quite often the past few days and I must admit that it's far from stable, at least for some games, but that has always been this way and is caused by the games or HDL itself. It could be a bad coincidence that your problems started with the installation of the new CC software, that's why I'd like to ask you to install R29 again. That way we could make sure it's really a problem with the new software.
best regards Jones23
P.S.: Don't take me too serious, and I apologize for the whining thing.
10 posts a day about the same problem? C'mone Jones! I have only reported back for replies here on the forums after doing some more testing. I am just hoping for someone to maybe catch a hint to the problem! I am gonna go back to 29 & see if hdl gives me problems still from MC & HDD! This will help us understand a little better. Thanks! ;)Quote:
