SMS Bug Reports

OK. I got it to work.

I simply had to remove the SMS.cfg and SMS.hst files from mc0:/SMS/ using uLE

Then start SMS and redo all the configuration items in the setup screens and save a new SMS.cfg

Restart SMS and everything is working again. Weird :crazy:

--- Original Post---

SMS (2.9 R1) can no longer start the SMB network on my PS2. (SCPH-75006)

It was previously working fine, then after changing the static IP address of the Server (and updating SMS.smb), SMS just crashes immediately after startup.

If I use uLE to move SMS.smb out of the mc0:/SMS folder so that the SMB networking is disabled then it will not crash and I can still play media from USB.

The Server, a NSLU2 (192.168.1.77) and PS2 (192.168.1.101) are both connected via patch cables directly to a broadband router (192.168.1.1).

I can see and open the shares on the server at smb://192.168.1.77 via other computers on the network running Ubuntu or XP (with DHCP addresses) using a blank username/password.

I'm starting SMS via FCMB 1.8b on a genuine Sony 8MB MC.

Config files are:
mc0:/SYS-CONF/IPCONFIG.DAT

Code:

---

192.168.1.101
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1

---

mc0:/SMS/SMS.smb

Code:

Then immediately after SMS starts, I get the exception handler:
http://psx-scene.com/forums/attachme...1&d=1231987428

Any suggestions?

P.S. Wouldn't it make more sense for the exception handler to restart the console (or launch mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF) rather than get stuck in an endless loop of a crashing SMS (if you press X)?

Dose the author even still read in these fourms?
If not there seems to be no point to submitting bugs here.

It seems to be more of a troubleshooting syle thread now.

From the latest release notes for 2.9R2

That problem was reported here in this thread, now it's fixed, so I guess EEUG must come and read the posts once in a while!

2.9R2 still freezes sometimes on movie loading.

How are you launching it, direct, from fmcb or from uLE v?

Im launching it with FMCB. it freezes while booting movies from USB and same thing happens when Im booting movies from LAN.
Its not to often, but very annoying :/
It wasnt happening when I was using SMS 2.8R3.

Hve you updated your FMCB to the latest version..

I had issues with 2.9 revisions until i moved up to 1.8b

FMCB 1.8b

I hardly get any freezes or crashes now..

Hope that helps..

2.9r2 is crashing (when being run from FMCB 1.8) after loading PS2FS and crashes at the Reading Media stage. My HD light turns on for less than a second, then turns off and crashes. Crash may be technically incorrect. The circly loading animation is constantly spinning around, so maybe "hanging" is the correct term here.
Behavior doesn't happen when being run from uLE with sms.elf on the hdd. However it did happen once when loading a network drive.

im using FMCB 1.8 so there should not be any problems if what You are saying is true. (1.8 and 1.8b are almost the same, the only difference is in "Installer side : - Fixed broken installation from CD").

it freezes on movie loading. not often, but it freezes.

Fair enough, I skipped 1.8 and went from 1.7 to 1.8b and i saw a massive improvement with SMS freezing issues from that, so i cant vouch for 1.8, although the fix was for cd install, i dont know what else might have been changed also that made my issues go away..

I DO get some freezes still in exactly the same place as you do, when the clip is loading and the bar is going across it will just halt and sms will freeze, but its very very infrequent now compared to before...

Anyhoo I just thought it cant hurt to have the latest utils installed anyway for the sake of everyone being able to compare results knowing they're using the latest uLE, SMS and FMCB and get consistent feedback..
