Did that game require mode 7 if so maybe tweeking the amount of Callback timer and testing would solve that problem because mode 7 is not used anymore and Callback took its place so you will have to try different amounts
I don't have that game installed so can't test it :D
@yoshi314 Internal HD 50 over SMB I would try 25 but I have not tested it yet :)
Timer callback doesnt use a mode. It's only a value passed to the cdvdman.
Mode 7 is not used for the moment, I just recommend to not use it (even reset it to "off" if set before for some game), as it may be re-used later.
Concerning those wondering why some recent games may not work with "recent" revisions, just remember that there were core changes (R591, R589, R587, R585, ...) made that could affect compatibility. Enhancing compatibility of one game can break another as side-effect ...
This seams to work for SCUS_975.45 HDD=50 (SOCOM: Combined Assault) may fix your game to try it and seeQuote:

Other people are playing (~100) so the server seems to be OK. AFAIR ESR will not allow me to pass through Socom 2 DNAS/cheat verification. Tried it a few years ago. Network setup should be OK as I played PAL disc version of Socom 2 without problems. Unfortunately I can't test original NTSC disc as I have only PAL console without chip.
SMT Nocturne shouldn't require the callback timer at all because -- as yoshi pointed out -- it wasn't broken to begin with. Got half way through Nocturne and blew through Devil Summoner 1 & 2 and DDS 1 & 2 without any issues about a month or two ago. Codebreaker codes in random battles will freezes Nocturne up every time, however. I also don't think the callback timer will help SOCOM 2's online issues. That game is fairly old and older PS2 games more often flake out because UDMA modes are too fast. Try giving UDMA 2 or lower a whirl ...
Socom 2 - SCUS_972.75 - NTSC A - online mode not working have been testing now for awhile and no joy different versions and even Official lock up on line what version worked BTW for online or has it ever worked?
Hey Bat Rastard did you have mode 7 on for Nocturne before because I did but now that have to set to Callback timer to 50 to prevent lockups :D
the old mode had different buffer size
Tried launching PAL Socom 2 from original disc - servers are down, its impossible to log in. So the NTSC version is the only way to play S2 online currently.
RandQalan, what do you mean by saying that "even Official lock up on line"? Have you tried launching genuine disc on NTSC console without chip or other modification? It should work as there are still people playing.
Socom 2 NTSC A online still works as there are people playing, visible when you select universe and in the lobby. Did it ever work online with OPL? I don't know honestly, my tests show that it didn't. It didn't work in HDL or with ESR, that's for sure.Quote:
or has it ever worked?
Today I tried launching LAN mode on NTSC version of Socom 2 with OPL, and it works. So maybe the problem is with cheat detection? Game's cheat detection routines probably conflict with OPL and game/OPL crashes, that's my guess... Could this be solvable? Please, someone knowledgeable look into this - this is great online game, still played, and NTSC version in the only one remaining working!
Official OPL lockup online
