Sorry Hugo, the site does not allow me to insert image and video links and does not allow me to send you a private message. I can't find useful information in the rules, can anyone tell me a way to show videos and photos?

You must make more publications so that you can place links.

Thank you. I don't think it's easy, since I comment very rarely and only if I have something to say. probably have to be quite a few good comments to be enabled. in any case I will send the reports to Hugopocked in another way if there is an opportunity, I heard that he has a discord channel but I couldn't find it.

EDIT:
It seems to have been enabled since I can send private messages, but when I try to insert the 4 links of image and videos I get the following error message: "Your content can not be submitted. This is likely because your content is spam-like or contains inappropriate elements. Please change your content or try again later. If you still have problems, please contact an administrator."
This also happens if I try to send a private message. I await news from Hugopocked if interested in order to contact him elsewhere, thanks anyway to the community and to those who responded to me

You could contact him on his YouTube channel too.

Hello, sorry for the delay, sometimes I'm away for a few days, I'll see your report, here is my Discord user:

hugopocked or hugopocked#8874

:welcoming:
 
Speaking of Doom from the same creators, Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown I did tests in this game and the compatibility modes that I have released correct all the graphical defects and Slowdowns it is better than in Real Hardware, but the game crashes in specific places on some maps, I would have to sit down with all the patience in the world to see if I can fix that.

I checked Doom some time ago and it seems to have one of these two problems:

1# Some of the Timers in charge of synchronizing CPU and others, I think this causes looping Interrupt request of the recompiler which slows down the emulation.

2#Maybe the CD buffer has too much byte transfer rate and this slows down the emulation at some point, I have noticed that this problem occurs in some games example in the Suikoden II videos.

I don't know which of the 2 problems it is but it sure is one of those 2 lol, :encouragement:

Hello Hugopocked

What compatibility modes and specific Trojan fixes at the moment must we use for the Doom games? Many thanks.
 
hello to all
Crash Team Racing (usa)
PS2 Slim 90004
The game runs without problems, but freezes after 30 minutes or 45 minutes.
Sometimes it freezes after 15 minutes. Sometimes it freezes after 60 minutes. Sometimes it doesn't freeze even after 2 hours!
After freezing, I have to hard reset the device.
I used cheats and trojan files, but the problem was not solved. Other ps1 games do not have this problem. They do not freeze even after several hours. Only CTR (USA) has such a problem.
Note: I run the games via usb and flash memory. by OPL 1.1.0 & last vesion popstarter

Hello, yes the US version was unstable, especially in multiplayer mode, the European version is stable, I imagine this is your favorite game If you want, write to me privately and I will help you run the USA version without problems so as not to fill here, but first you must make sure that you are using the latest version of Popstarter and that there is no problem with device fragmentation if you use USB, since not complying with these last 2 things can cause more crashes.

Thanks for the reply
Yes, this is my favorite game and I always play multiplayer with my brother.
I using the latest version of Popstarter and that there is no problem with device fragmentation if you use USB.
I checked 100%
If the problem of the US version is solved, I would be very grateful if you could help me.
If it cannot be solved, I will use the European version.
 
Apologize in advance, I just made an account after finding this thread. The link thats on the first page isn't the most up to date correct?
It is the last one for general use to the public that I have thoroughly tested. I am working little by little so as not to stress myself out with reports or bugs. From experience do things in a hurry only causes headaches and excess work. I am from Venezuela so I am not someone with many resources, On my YouTube channel I do some tests of the progress and there are my contact links for those who want to write to me or help me with reports tests or support me, I also reciprocate the help, Greetings!

Ah I understand. This is awesome that your doing this. I was trying them out last night, just so I understand, other then moving the fixes to the vmc folder of the chosen game, do I need to activate anything else in order for it to work or its just as simple as that?

Yes correct it is simple just copy and paste the TROJAN and . BIN patches to the VMC folder of the game, be careful the VMC folder is not called VMC but has the name of the VCD but without the extension lol.

Hugopocked, thank you so much for your hard work! Ridge Racer Type 4, one of my favorite PlayStation title, now runs correctly with textures :tranquillity: Otherwise the game would have looked like in debug mode with wireframe models and broken textures.

Meanwhile, I just came across some compatibility issues the other day running the English patched version of "Tales of Phantasia", so I thought it would be adequate to document them here.

PlayStation 2 model: 75004 with Modbo 4.0 mod chip
PopStarter: last release from June 2019
OPL: latest release with exFAT support
Media from which the game is running on: an exFAT formatted Sandisk USB stick
Game in question: Tales of Phantasia (NTSC-J, with translation patch by Phantasian Productions)
Issue: the game boots into the title screen, but upon starting a new game, the screen freezes while random audio clips (supposedly are of skits - the in-game voiced dialogue between team members, triggered with SELECT button) are played out of order.

I wish I could describe the issue in Spanish too, but I'm not sure if is allowed in here.

Hi, a pleasure, correct here only speaking English is allowed, a neutral and international language, don't worry I already have that game super reported XD, I hardly use my Discord hugopocked since I am more into playing retro games in retroconsoles and I rarely use the PC to play, but everyone can write to me to get a higher rate of help and response through my email, sometimes I get stressed out with personal stuff and it takes me a few days to respond until everything calms down, my email is my nickname hugopocked and @gmail.com put those 2 together like a puzzle of a survival horror game XD.
