My Jack and Daxter thread so I quit jacking other people's. :)

I have a problem with Jack And Daxter The Precursor Legacy. It boots and works perfectly with the ESR GUI version except that you can't save. It freezes whenever I try to save. Anybody found a solution to fix this?

Do I have to burn it differently? I don't understand what you mean, I burned it at 4X on verbatim and patched it with ESR_disc_patcher_GUI_v0.24a. Also I'm using the gui version of ESR and checked both options.

You don´t need to post that into multiple threads.
It might be an unfixable issue.

Anyway,... I hope there is someone, which find a fix (might need re-building of the image).
Maybe a method similar to the DNAS/IOP-Swap will work, or if you exchange the MC-Driver from another game.
You could try the "VMC-Fix".
There is a tool from ISEKO, which does all the work for you there.

Isn't there a way to use Memento just for this game? I mean can you launch memento with ulaunchelf?
Because this seems to support the game.

Hmz the VMC thing sounds intresting. You can use it to save your data to an usb stick instead of a memory card if I understand it well? This could come in really handy.

Memento is not a launchable ELF program.
It is a bootable KELF program.

This means it is an installed system utility of the same kind as FMCB, booting the same way.
But it can only run at all on a Memor32 memory card, as these have a special MagicGate ID.
And since it uses the same boot method as FMCB it can never coexist normally with FMCB.

Have you tried to run your FMCB MC in slot/0, and put another MC in Slot/1?

Not sure if this is able to save in mc/0 and mc/1? Most games default save to mc/0.

Are you sure you have enough free space on your MC??

Exactly.
Even the decrypted loader of memento seems to have some kind of protection (maybe fixed sector-adress for the osdmain for example).

I might try with 2 memory cards, but I think it defaults to memory card 1. I have enough space on it. It just freezes when it tries to save. Could the virtual memory card thing be usefull? Does this put your saved games on a usb stick, or could you maybe mod the game so it saves on slot 2?

I actually think all that stuff about using using MC1 was for Schwartzcough, not you, I guess you could try it though.

By the looks of it, it's a problem that can't be or hasn't been fixed yet, and unless you can figure out a way around it(maybe try the suggestions in one of the other threads you posted in, found here (Help with jak and daxter... please)), it's a problem that your gonna have to live with, atleast for the time being.

By the way, you've posted about this problem in 3 different threads, and I don't know why, and its not my place to say this, but that bugs the hell out of me... and alot of other people as well... so please, don't spam the board in such a manner... but hey, like i said, not my place to say all that... thanks...
(I used too many "...")
Sorry to sound like a jerk, but that's just my two cents.

If any of the mods believe my reply to be out of line, or wrong in any way, please, edit or delete it at your discretion, or let me know, and I'll do it, thanks.

The strange thing is it sees the saved games when I make one. But it can't load it either with a backup game. Maybe it's just something stupid. I saw the saved game folder had an exclamation mark in it:

US version:
BASCUS-97124AYBABTU!

EU version:
BESCES-52460AYBABTU!

I haven't seen any other game with an exclamation mark in the save file. Could this be the problem?

All your base are belong to us!

I could maybe try and take MCMAN.IRX and MCSERV.IRX from crash bandicoot the wrath of cortex and try to replace the ones from Jak and Daxter. Would that work?
Because the saving part works in crash and I suppose it's a general driver to save/load from memory card?
I mean it doesn't contain any game specific data, does it?
