How to read the list:

### Ranking

     = Does not boot
   * = Boots, but hangs shortly after
  ** = Boots, playable, hangs only on some features
 *** = Boots, playable, still not perfect (slow fmvs...)
**** = Plays flawlessly. This is the way!

### Comments

(need...) if the game works only with a proper fix
(info) if the game works 100%, but is lacking info on overall performance
(slow) if the game boots, is playable, but it doesn't play at a decent speed.
       Only "game speed" is to be considered, not Fmvs...
(hangs on...) if the game boots, but hangs somewhere (doesn't mean it is not playable)
Current status: 185 games served so far...

I'm gonna try with emulators shortly :P
I'm also thinking about trying with mediaplayers and/or browsers (central station).
My main concern is to find a 100% working lan game too. Actually only Timesplitters 2 achieved this much!

yea i tried mediaplayer too and it doesnt even show up as a game (same with snes station) but u CAN use ps2loader(like cdloader) and make multiple cds/dvds , so i made one that should boot the snesstation (didnt boot) , media player boots: the mcloaderscreen but if u press load from cd then obvious the cd starts spinning and cant find anything.....btw. i use usbadvance as a ELF on the mc (with the exploit obvious)

What does mode 3 on hdloader exactly do to the game cuz maybe there is a way to patch games mode 3 for usb .

If i'm not wrong mode3 removes hdloader from memory when the game starts...

...anyway i think usbadvance and hdloader do not work 100% the same.
Maybe future versions (if any) could improve it's compatibility.
Until then... i'll go on with the tests!

i edited your thread heading and stuck it. let it be the official game list then. I would ad some sort of further readme to this. There is a growing legion of lamer sites that all they do is swallow up compatability lists and things from other sites and dont even bother to credit the authors.


good job

Tekken 5
Fifa Street
Shadow of Rome
Medal of Honor Rising Sun
Mercenaries Playground of Destruction
Cold Fear-
Driven To Destruction
Lego Starwars- sometimes hangs

These all work 100% but have crapy fmv's.

First of all, thank you very much. All of you!
I swear i'll add a section with all the names of all the contributors soon. (Has anybody got a nice ps2-scene ascii header?).
I'm also considering to put up some info about homebrews i'm testing... (beats of rage, so far).

After patching GT4 PAL and flattening it works ok from USBAdvance/Extreme. Intro & menu FMVs stutter as expected tho. Music plays ok.

Thumbs up

Well well well, let's see... i updated the list with your submissions and added some other info gathered here and there.
If it's true that Gt4 works decently, i'm gonna take a look at it soon
And this also means good news for usbadvance users: double layer games DO work then!
Maybe this app finally will catch the right interest it deserves...


...stay tuned for some more tests undergoing!

P.S: don't forget to correct the list if you find out names, ranking or anything not being right!
P.P.S: Keep up the good work everyone!
P.P.P.S: (hehe) Please note "War of the Monsters" working... if i'm not wrong it doesn't under hdloader/hdadvance...!

IOn a V7 :
