@alexfree Apologies that I'm not posting this in the proper thread, it seems I've been locked out of participation in most of the forum.
First, thanks for all of the effort you've put into PlayStation homebrew. The degree to which it has opened up to newcomers and casual hobbyists is unbelievable, compared to when I was last regularly playing the system in 2012-2019. On behalf of myself and the hundreds of other casual gamers who are now able to play otherwise-rare homebrew titles, thank you very much.
I've been using TonyHax International for the last week or so to increase functionality with the MemcardPro, and have been incredibly impressed with its stability compared to already-great tools like unirom. I just noticed a bug though, and wanted to let you know about it.
~~~
TonyHax Intl version: 1.5.9 w/ FreePSXBoot
Memory Card: MemCardPro (not memcardpro2)
Controller: NeGcon NPC-104
Software: Gran Turismo 2 (NTSC-U v1.0)
Console: SCPH-1001
Bios: v2.2
Loading a Gran Turismo 2 romhack, I was perplexed that my save file wasn't loading. I assumed it was an issue with either the romhack or the MemcardPro, but eventually narrowed it down the NeGcon controller I was using.
When the NeGcon is plugged in, TonyHax International does not recognize that I have a GameID-compatible memory card installed. The "REMOVE THE FREEPSXBOOT MEMORY CARD" message displays at the top of the screen, and GameID info is never sent to the memory card. If I use a DualShock or standard PSX gamepad during boot, TonyHax International and the MemCardPro function as expected.

https://github.com/alex-free/tonyhax/issues/77 This bug report seems to be the same bug as what I'm experiencing. Obviously switching controllers is a minor inconvenience that I'm willing to put up with, but if there's anything I can do to help you iron the bug out altogether, give me a shout.
@alexfree Just reread the aforementioned bug report. I suppose one difference from their report is that I am able to boot into GT2 without issue. It's just that it fails to see that the memory card is GameID compatible.
