Hmm. i hope this is solved soon. I suspect this will fix a LARGE number of games.

So what programs will sucessfully load a hdloader pached to change UDMA mode? SInce Launch ELf won't, what will work? ps2menu? ps2link?

I wonder if this will fix Xenosaga 2, or maybe the freezing issue something else.

LaunchELF will, just run your hdloader off mc or host without accessing launchELF's hdd modules prior to loading it.

Hopefully this will fix a lot of games that use streaming ADX/SFD...

On another note in light of Sonic Gems Collection; is it possible to patch something into HDLoader that will force games to see the BIOS region as Japanese or English? Would be nice for US PS2s.

Zer0-X & crazyc, maybe you can find the way to patch HDL to running those games without modify HDD's DMA setting. Because it will so big slow down the speed of game transfering.

Mind telling me which forum/thread?

will slowing the hd access fix fatal frame or mafia?

**thereal_zap** · 08-16-2005,11:25 PM

why not create a loader patcher (with diff UDMA settings), that will patch hdl.elf in memory before it's loaded? this could be run from a memory card.

it's done all the time with pc apps.

Could this fix let dnas enbaled games run online off hd too?

**neo333** · 08-17-2005,12:36 PM
