Disney's Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers

Hi,
Am brand new to PS2 softmodding, freedvdboot is what opened the door for me as I didn't want to figure out/buy stuff for my fat PS2 lol. So far been having success with USB 1.1 from the few I have tested so far (except for one), and I haven't noticed any increased load times (maybe cuz the fat PS2's disc reader is starting to go bad?)

One of the games I have that doesn't seem to load in OPL 1.0.0 is Disney's Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers. I did notice that someone made a note for the European version in this list: https://www.ps2-home.com/forum/page/opl-game-compatibility-list-D stating that it worked in an earlier version of OPL. I decided to download and use OPL 0.9.3, and lo and behold, Goin' Quackers loads right up (with only the movies being a bit laggy).

I did notice the Google sheets list has a submission link but I'm not sure if I have to test all of the different options in OPL to submit to that. I made an account on http://sx.sytes.net/oplcl/games.aspx but I don't see any way to submit anything. I tried making a thread at ps2-home similar to this but it wasn't approved... and I'm not sure if they have different builds? I then found the compatibility thread here via the github's readme so now I'm back here lol. Not sure if this should be a new thread or a reply in the compatibility thread, if the latter I can move this to there.

If there are other builds I should test to see exactly which build breaks this game please point me to there, as I'm not sure if I should be using builds from here or from ps2-home.

Other info: SCPH-30001, FMCB 1.966

Whatever fits You bets but builds from here or official github are official OPL.
"OPL DB" from ps2-home is a fork and have issues not spotted in "OPL".

So before You report issue on github, try official version. ;)

Which tool you have used to convert BIN to ISO?
winbin2iso from https://www.psx-place.com/resources/winbin2iso.671/ (used x64 version). I've converted other CD bins to ISO with this tool and a majority of them work fine so far. (Madden 2001 is another one exhibiting similar behavior, but also doesn't run in 0.9.3 though IGR does work in that version interestingly.)


Same behavior as 1.0.0+, freezing at "initializing...", can't perform IGR, USB activity light not blinking, etc.

Thanks, had a feeling it could've been a fork but I really couldn't tell other than no links whatsoever to ps2-home on the github page, and no reference to psx-place there. All I know is that there is some sort of strict troubleshooting stuff to jump through I guess before even thinking about posting there.

Well, the "Developer" wants to make it kind of seem to be "the thing" with it being "Daily Builds"... although he also says himself, that there is an "official version".
