You could get the binary on last pages of GSM Thread. There are one version from mine and one made by RandQalan. Please post OPL_GSM questions only on GSM thread and not on OPL one. OPL_GSM is an experimental fork from mine and I don't want to mess with OPL standalone thread and related stuff (at least, for now). Thanks a lot for your comprehension, good luck on your tests and happy play. ;-)

Hello, I registered just recently, so I thought I'd post a recent compatibility issue:

Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria is just now starting to give me problems. Up until now I was playing the game just fine in OPLv0.7, but now for some reason after I've reached the half-way point of the game (Beating Odin, getting the ring of Mylinn back getting new moves etc)...now whenever Rufus is in my party mid-battle the game crashes. I honestly don't get it (I own the game btw).

It was working fine a while ago. For most of the game in fact.

I'm gonna switch to OPLv0.9 and see if that changes anything, but I don't understand why it would cause problems all of a sudden.

This is ~ where the anti cheating protection really kicks in.
If you used some cheats(at any point of the game)and the protection detect them,this is where the protection really start to work(freeze the game so you won't be able to continue any further).

Also if you used cheats and the protection detect them,that info is saved to the memory card so you can't continue the game when you reach almost the end of the game.

The only thing I can think of is the 50 Crystal Save File I imported from GameFAQs...I'm guessing it reads all gamesaves to determine if some cheat codes were used? I didn't even cheat on the main save!

Jeez, Tri-Ace is hardcore.

I wonder if I were to delete that save, if things would work again.

The protection is also triggered if you cheated on some other save and then save to the same card.
I have a 100% working save with a lot of extras and the save works fine(clear the game 2 or 3 times)

PS.When you start the game during the intro and the tittle screen,the game scan both cards non stop until you start the game or go to the Options\Load screen

no all saves for Valkyrie Profile 2-Silmeria you have attached to your system are probably useless but it is unknown

i would recommend you read this from CMX(CMGSCCC.com)

NOTE: THIS GAME IS HIGHLY PROTECTED AGAINST CHEATING
So what does this mean to you, the user?

1) It means that these are most likely CMGSCCC.com Exclusive cheats as the most skilled hackers here at CMGSCCC bring you the goods.

2) It means that some of these codes may cause undesired effects and/or hang the game at various spots in the game.

3) It means you should probably save to different slots and backup your gamesave to USB Flash Device often as we can not guarantee that some gamesaves may not become corrupt.

4) It's recommended to activate the cheats you want, save your game to a different slot, and then restart the game without Code Breaker for now while the codes are in testing.

You got lucky - I didn't make it through Chapter 2's forest stage using the so-called clean "Max Gold/Crystals/Orbs" save on GameFAQs without it freezing on me.

Tri-Ace aren't hardcore - they're sociopaths ...

They love it when their games punish cheaters worse than Jade punished Dist at the Ketterberg Hotel ...
