Does it work? can anyone confirm?

**Tannah** · 03-24-2006,08:23 AM

Goes to the Namco Title screen the Black screens unfortunatly with the HDL 0.7c for me.

Yeah Suikoden IV didnt work so this was expected. I own the game I just want to load it on the HD to increase the insane load times.

**Ghaleon** · 03-24-2006,06:24 PM

decrease the loadtimes, decrease them, please !

sorry,
but a patch or something would be nice for this game, playing suikoden 4 was horrible with the loadtimes all over the place, i would very much prefer them to be gone on this seemingly very good new instance of the series.

It seems like just an issue with the intro movie, but there's no telling what other problems the game might have with HDL.

**IrishGuy** · 03-25-2006,03:51 PM

So there's a slight shot of it working if you can get past the opening movie...

Damn wish I smart enough to know how to patch stuff.

Patch offset 0x2efb28 of slus_212.91 to 00 00 00 00. I've played about 2 min of it and saving and loading works fine.

For inquiring minds, the problem is that the mpeg reader errors out if CdStatus returns CDVD_STAT_STOP, CDVD_STAT_SPIN or CDVD_STAT_ERROR. Hdloader's implementation of CdStStart sets cd_status to CDVD_STAT_SPIN and never changes it.

Thats intresting crazyc. As this problem that seems to plague many games. I wounder if the CdStatus portion of the HD-Loader could be patched/updated to solve this problem?

**crazyc** · 03-25-2006,06:34 PM

It's possible that patching that function could fix this and other games, although it could also break some. If you want to try, patch offset 0xaad50 of hdloader with 06. That will set cd_status to CDVD_STAT_READ.

Note, this only affects games which use the stream api. They will have the cdvdstm module on their disk.

I'm going to try some of these out and post my findings as well.
