CDVD issues

**TaNK** · 05-22-2008,06:37 PM

i installed FMB 1.2b on aDatel 16mb max mc and works fine but uLe freezes on saving IF you turn on disc control and then save. so the only way now i can launch stuff is using MCloader -> DVD Region Free then it loads uLE -> CDLoader/ZoneLoader/SwapMagic apps. And yes i replaced 1.2b's runme with the one here. and both did the same thing.

v9 SCPH-50001/N NTSC ps2
Datel 16MB MAX MC Card

PS2 v9 ntsc, mcboot 1.2b, the new RUNME.ELF found here, installed on 1 datel 32mb and 1 sony 8mb mc. still no c/dvd function (console SCPH-50001)

V9, V7, V4 ntsc all freeze when misc/ps2disc selected and original disc ps2 dvd game in drive. Same thing if I boot with or without disc.Tested with sony orig 8mb with orig runme 114kb and then repeated with new runme 47k. Runs HDL8b no problem with either runme file. Only tested with sonic riders, language was jap but able to select english.
Did not test HDL on v9, Mobo damaged cannot attach network adapter.
V9 and V7 have modchip (I think ICE code 17wire ver).Not sure how to turn them off so all tests with chips active.
V4 unmodded.

Tested with mcboot 1.2b

Something I did note, when I have booted into HDL I can install original discs to the HD no problems. Tested with V4.

If I replaze RUNME.ELF v1.1 with RINME.ELF v1.2 I get red screen any idea? Thanks

Maybe cuz you're file has a wrong name?

...replaze RUNME.ELF v1.1 with RINME.ELF v1.2...

...and what does it have to do with "cdvd issues"?

Then it is rather obvious the init code from PAL consoles doesn't work on all/some(?) NTSC ones (kind of natural if you ask me). The problem is, that I don't have any NTSC console right now in my place (I had one, but I left it in a flat in other city ~200km from me).

I think I will have no other choice than to ask you for your full bios dumps. The NTSC v9 should be a good start.

@zx16384,
Your problems seem weird to me. I own v10 (satin silver on gh-026) and it also has been used in germany (it had german language set when I got it). I'll try to nail the problem, so I'll post shortly a version of launcher without cdvd initialization at all to make sure it's the cdvd init problem (but remember to disable disc control in uLE).

Sorry, I want to mean: "replaze RUNME.ELF of v1.1 with RUNME.ELF v1.2"

I can provide you with an NTSC U/C v9 dump.

It's necessary to add to the list:
Black Hawk Dowm TS (Pal Multi5)
Syphon Filter DM
they are multi, but they load the English language, xd

The red screen is for diagnostic purposes. It means "File not found". Check your paths and capitalization.

@zx16384,
Could you try this one? It doesn't do any cdvd initialization, so if it was the case, you should be able to browse mc in uLE fine (I just need it to confirm if it's really cdvd related problem). Anyway, your problem seem rather strange to me (especially that it worked on such console in my case without any problems).

@all,
Thanks for the list of games. I'll make some tests this evening.
