ESR - bug reports

[ffgriever]

anyone got pes 2008 working?

SLES_550.21

must be esr bug. the game starts ok, creates savegame, then konami screen shows up, then black....dead.

tried every esr version with no luck.

With this game it's almost impossible for ESR to be the problem. I'll check it, but I'm 99% it's your burn quality.

FreeMCBoot v1.5b
Console: PAL-EUR, v7 SCPH-39004
uLaunchELF 4.17, disc control on
ESR beta r8a / r9 (both DVDV direct / direct off tested)

Game: Onimusha - Warlords
Region: PAL-EUR
Code: SLES_502.47
IOPRP Files found: IOPRP20.IMG; IOPRP202.IMG; IOPRP214.IMG
Patcher: ESR Patcher 0.2.4
Media: DVD-R Verbatim 16x (MCC03RG20)
Burned with: ImgBurn 2.4.1.0 @ 4x
Colors: Red (fast), blue (fast), magenta (Slow), white (fast), cyan (slow)

Problem: Game loads fine, but a black screen appears when selecting the New Game option. I tested the game on PCSX2 and it works fine (slow, but fine).

Confirmed, Onimusha Warlords SLES_502.47 freezes after selecting the NEW GAME option. I've test the same game with Memento and it's working fine.

ffgriever, can you check this one please. Thanks

Dance Dance Revolution - Party Collection NTSC-J SLPM-62427
*Not Working*

CD game converted to DVD with DVD Scan 3.7
Used Nero, also ImgBurn
Patched with ESR Patch Java v0.2.4
Boot Method is FMCB 1.5 + ESR beta r9
No Mod-chip

I tried straight CD files --> DVD, burned with Nero ,and also rebuilt the image with CD Mage and used ImgBurn to burn the disc.

ESR boot screen > then the colors red> blue> pink> white> green. After this the game shows the loading icon at the bottom of the screen, then goes black.

Note - This game does not work with HD loader either (normal cd)

This is not a problem of ESR but a problem of not properly done cd->dvd conversion.

To make it work with ESR (and with modchips after conversion) put the files in following order (files in bold HAVE to be at EXACT sector locations. but I've also put modules at the locations from cd):

Sector    Name
-----------------------------------
0000291 , \SYSTEM.CNF
0001358 , \IRX\IOPRP254.IMG
0001488 , \IRX\SIO2MAN.IRX
0001492 , \IRX\MCMAN.IRX
0001539 , \IRX\MCSERV.IRX
0001543 , \IRX\PADMAN.IRX
0001565 , \IRX\LIBSD.IRX
0001579 , \IRX\SDRDRV.IRX
0001583 , \IRX\SD_CALL.IRX
0003072 , \DATA\FILEDATA.BIN
0233635 , \DATA\SOUND\DDRPC.HD
0233641 , \DATA\SOUND\DDRPC.BD
0234468 , \DATA\SOUND\DDRPC.TD
0234470 , \DATA\SOUND\DDRPC_ST.TD
0234556 , \DATA\SOUND\SD.BIN
0276935 , \SLPM_624.27

Then dummy LBA up to sector 600000

Now, to make it work fine with ESR you'll have to patch sceCdGetType in SLPM_624.27. This is enough to get it working with ESR beta r9, but to make proper conversion (one that will also work with all modchips and older ESR versions) you'll also have to patch sceCdMmode call in SLPM_624.27 and sceCdMmode call in \IRX\SD_CALL.IRX.

PS. Again... CD->DVD conversions are easy, but please, do everything you can before posting non working conversions as ESR faults, because they are not! It's just that the games are not properly converted.

Edit: Will take a look at onimusha once I'll get it

Thanks so much for pointing out what needs to be done ffgriever. I really appreciate it.

@orcanaoftime

That's nothing, really. Just follow the instructions and I guarantee this game will work fine.

Better remove the link before moderators will come in

Link? What link?

Tomorrow I'll go 15 days for vacances with my wife & my 3 sons. When I come back I hope to see ESR r15, with HDD, HDTV & HDD-PSX support.

Dont forget the auto-blowjob feature with customizable script.

hi, i was just wondering what the color cyan means on esr.

i have two lines on the sides of my tv and it flashes cyan in between loading screens.

does anyone know how to get rid of the color ?

because the game is running fine.

hi, i was just wondering what the color cyan means on esr.

Only ffgriever would know for sure, but all the colour flashing of ESR is intended to provide debug info in the case of a crash/freeze. So it probably means that ESR is performing some specific operation, though I can't say which.

i have two lines on the sides of my tv and it flashes cyan in between loading screens.

Are you saying that this happens repeatedly in-game, as opposed to the normal case where it only happens early on, while the game is booting up ?

does anyone know how to get rid of the color ?

because the game is running fine.

ffgriever has mentioned the possibility of removing all the colour flashing once the project leaves the 'beta' stage and he can start making the first 'stable' versions. But in beta development some feedback on bootup progress is needed, and that is what the colour flashing is intended for.

Best regards: dlanor

yea the cyan color is throughout the gameplay, everytime it loads it flashes or stays for a little while and during gameplay there are two cyan bars at the side of my tv. i was just curious to what the cyan color represented and if i could try to fix it.
