In SLUS_209.09 patch:

1. offset 0x1069 from 70 to 02
2. offset 0x106d from 40 to 00
3. offset 0x1af04c from 2d e8 60 00 to 00 00 00 00
4. offset 0x1af11c from 2d e8 60 00 to 00 00 00 00
5. offset 0x1af6c0 from 2d e8 60 00 to 00 00 00 00

apply the uab patch and play.

Note, this patch is very ugly and may cause problems, but the small bit I tested worked fine.

What does it actually do?

**crazyc** · 05-11-2005,01:40 PM

The game places the stack in scratch pad ram, which is 16KB in size. That is a lot of space for the stack but hdloader overflows it during IOP reset. I relocate it to the top of system ram.

i made a ppf file that can be applied to the iso, the file size of the iso should be 2,058,688 KB

hmm

@CrazyC and @Zer0-X

Don't use yout time for make patches !
We wait for a new OpenSource PS2Scene Loader

GREAT WORK ! Thanks again.

@Zer0-X - i think this patch can't include in hdl_patch.exe is it right ?
@CrasyC - PAL is the same ?

Seriously, this research will help any future open source hdloader by showing what corner case problems games expose.

PAL probably has different offsets but the same problem and (hopefully) solution.

Yes, it can. It'd be a bit tricky but it could be done. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, there is something like that already inside HDL for few games.
