Does the content of NVM file change by some user actions? I found 2 backups of my NVM, which are different by 2 bytes in the config 1 (OSD (User data)) area (specifically on addresses 2C0 and 2CF). Is this normal or is has been changed by MechaPwn? EDIT: Sorry, I was blind, I found it...

You need to use Toxic Dual Layer Image Patcher first, and then you can patch it with ESR. https://www.psx-place.com/resources/toxic-dual-layer-dvd9-image-patcher.705/

No, it's not possible and it had to do nothing with patcher. PS2 needs to be set in English because of FreeDVDBoot exploit, and there's no "fix" for that.

In The Groove is SLUS_211.77, In The Groove 2 was never officially released, hence beta designation.

I was finally able to test latest ESR, and I can gladly report, that with r10f direct off version I was able to play In The Groove and In The Groove 2 beta!

You can report it and hope, that it'll be fixed by ffgriever. Once it is, you'll be able to use generic ESR discs, but for FDVDB+ESR discs, you would have to burn them again with newer ESR binary.

I mean, FreeDVDBoot+ESR is great, but you need to have confirmation, that game is ESR compatible, otherwise you just waste a DVD. On the other side, if the game is ESR compatible, then yes, that combo is the best way to burn your legally obtained backups ;)

What's the difference between direct, direct_off and mcard?
