Open PS2 Loader Project - v0.9

[drcacho]

yeah, me too....you have to hold the button for a second. In my cases my IR remote with poweroff function is useless right now(works with hdloader)

Hi, i usualy hold for a seccond the button, but after loading a uinternal hdd game with the r173, no matter how many secconds i hold the button, it neither resets or turns off the ps2.

With HDLoader it works ok. I'll try later if happens the same loading games by usb.

Hey guys, i've struck an unusual problem testing Prince Of Persia Warrior Within (PAL) with 0.6
public release. The game only loads once out of every 10 or so attempts at starting it, I get the same results with both USB and SMB. Every other time it starts up, says loading, gets to the first logo (with no sound) and then freezes on a black screen with no HDD activity.
When it does load properly sound is fine videos are flawless and gameplay works fine hmm?

BTW I have defragged the hdd a couple times too to see if that helped, but no

[EDIT: Just built 173 and worked on first attempt, looking good i think]
nope same deal

hiya scene , i have been watching this Thread for a while and im amazed..........thank you to the Testers and Coders

I read on this Thread that Neo Geo Battle Coliseum works , NGBC does not work with HDL it is 1 of 3 SNK games that dont work.

The other 2 are

- King of Fighters XI
- King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match


Can anyone test these also ? , btw where do you guys get the latest Rev's from id like to Compile it and test a game or 2.


later for now

Here are just some of the problematic games I've tested that have issues with HDloader


Neogeo Battle Coliseum works perfectly
Xenosaga Episode 2 "appears" to work flawlessly(played for about 10 min)
Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition remix still no music
Street fighter Alpha Anthology freezes at game select screen
Suikoden IV works, I can access/load/save to the memory cards

Actually works better than perfectly, works flawlesly :P (compared to usb version the load time between battles is "superb" usb version takes 10-13 seconds and HDD takes 2-3 seconds!!!!!)

Like you i been tested some problematic games with HDL

The King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match -> doesnt freeze randomly anymore (that was a knowed hdl issue)!
The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match -> the same as above!!
The King of Fighters XI -> the same as the other two above (nice work guys!)!
Freekstyle X -> this game freezes randomly with hdl 0.8c for me but i cannot say if with ops2l is the same (i only test the game for about 1 hour.. i will try to play more with it)
Also i tested SF Anthology (and has the same issue of hdl, it hangs up when you select a game) later night but i will gonna test it today choosing between different modes, in other tests i played DDR X and Tekken 5 and the load times are insane!!!!!!! (insane because it seems there no exist load times xDDDDDD)

As you can see i tried 3 of the games that you mentioned and all work perfect!... you can grab the test versions from http://bitbucket.org/ifcaro/open-ps2-loader/downloads/

yeah, me too....you have to hold the button for a second. In my cases my IR remote with poweroff function is useless right now(works with hdloader)

Thanks to all the devs who made this possible, breathing life back into the ps2/ps3 scene

In my case is like 10 seconds :S (SCPH-39001 NTSC-US "Fat" PS2, the IGR request will be useful if the coders can implement it).

Today i will try to test also Sonic Unleashed, Crizis Zone and DBZ Infinite world. Thanks again OPS2L team youre the greatest!!

Does it hang when it starts to search for the MC perhaps?

If you have the same results on both, I am wondering if you have a bad rip of POP Warriors Within.
The NTSC version I have works great all the time.
Do you use imgburn or DVD Decrypter to rip the game?

No it's after th MC check because when i remove the MC i get the initial warning no MC inserted then logo then nothing

Hi everyone.

Tested some games on newest r174 version, using internal HDD.

Atelier Iris - Eternal Mana (USA) - trayed different compatibility modes and it has the same problem as with HDL, voices are cutted or off-sync.
Gradius V (Japan) - stuttering opening video, tested different modes.
Valkyrie Profile 2 (USA) - no modes needed. Didn't freeze even once in battle (20 fights tested). Looks like old Digital pad/IR remote trick is obsolete.
Xenosaga II (USA) - tested without modes for 1h, didn't freeze even once.
WRC 4 (Europe) - no modes required.
ICO (Europe) - no modes required
Tenchu - Wrath of Heaven (USA) - same as with HDL, you'll need an save file with completed first mission for Rikkimaru. Otherwise white screen of death. Different modes tested.
Metal Saga (USA) - no modes needed works perfectly. In HDL game didn't work (black screen).

The Apps-Tab is NOT functional (as of yet).

Thanks TnA! one last question I have a crystal chip 2.0 pro, will this work with it? I seem to have the game list show but as soon as I click a game it freezes and I have to restart the ps2. Thanks Again!
