PS2 [Open PS2 Loader] Game Bug Reports

[Petter]

I can confirm that Gitaroo Man (US and EU) now works. Shadow of the Colossus does too, but it worked for me on version 1580 as well. Perhaps because I run it from HDD or because it is the PAL version?

I confirm for Shadow of the Colossus and Conflict - Global Storm (both in PAL version). Conflict GS was broken since a long time I think (this is the first time I played the game on OPL) Great job!

Conflict GS should be also playable with OPL 1357 or higher,
but I wanted to know if recent fixes doesn't mess up this game again.
Thanks for your tests.
You've tried OPL 1377 from what device?

What about other games, it is possible some got fixed (like Super DBZ)??

I can also ask about it at GitHub if you like.

You've tried OPL (Ifcaro) 1377, OPL DB 1580 or higher from HDD?
I'm asking because I haven't used OPL DB for a long time.

I loaded it from USB. I'll do some more testing then I think I'll move it to the MC (I was still using the @Algol 1319 version).

No need thank you, I'll do some tests

I tried Ace Combat TUW, same behavior (no briefing's music and freezing on some missions) and Super DBZ, this too is still unplayable (with and without MODE 2 I had to hard-reset the Ps2. HDD orange light remains lit).
It seems just those 4 games have been patched.

Hitman - Blood Money (SLES_530.28).
This game have a problem with annoying\choppy sound\noise in citscenes & in FMV (e.g in A Vintage Year into after ~30 sec),
no compatibility mode(s) helps.
This problems seems to occurred on all devices.

I only wonders, why some games have problems with sound,
no matter from what device they were played\launched from?!

There should be my report about Ace Combat from ETH too somewhere in this thread. I seem to remember that the problem remains. It's so since OPL 0.9.3. With OPL 0.9.2 is all perfect from any device.

Link to your report about this and other games should be in the 1st post of this topic.
Until 30\09 I'm out of PC, so I'll try to update this list a bit after that period of time.

Edit: In free time I will also try Hitman - Blood Money with different OPL versions,
to search if this annoying sound was "added" in any OPL rev.

I'm curious to test this game. I've the USA version on iHDD, but never played enough to experience any bug.

Does anyone know if 'Just Cause' (PAL/EU) works, or if it needs any modes?

More info about this game is here:
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/open-ps2-loader-game-bug-reports.19401/page-36#post-155397.
You can try to change game save ID, to try it out.
However I don't know if it'll work.

Did you tried to find this game in any compatibility lists:
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/open-ps2-loader-game-compatibility-lists.19037/.

 

[Grahf]

Great to see the progress, guys!

I think I'll do some play as soon as I can

@jolek : I did, but the guy who pointed me to it yet has to update his OPL-Version.

Let's see, what he will reply.

I can at least try to test if this game boots,
but you must give me some time and remind me about it at Saturday.

 

[TnA]

I'm possibly at the place today, where most of my games are in a carton and I can take it home for tests as well, but I would really prefer to keep it in the carton, so... Yeah @jolek, I can remind you!

Does anyone know if 'Just Cause' (PAL/EU) works, or if it needs any modes?

I've tried SLES_541.37 through SMB. Game boots without any additional compatibility mode.
I've also started new game and played for a while...

There is also SLES_542.00 with French & German language.

Out of curiosity through SMB, I've tried Shadow of the Colossus. Game seems to work.

Tested on OPL 1383.

Cam someone try Deus Ex: The Conspiracy e.g. with OPL 1386 or other build?

Here is a report by J-Doran1968 from here:
https://www.obscuregamers.com/threads/opl-test-build-s.868/post-6980.

If anyone wants to see the crash, the quickest way is to start a new game, then just enter anything on the menus until you start the game proper (which is when you're in first person view, on the wooden dock), then go forward, talk to Paul (you can't avoid this, he comes to you), just rush through the conversation (just keep pressing X), then when you're finished go through the doorway into the ticket booth (which means you exit the dock), then exit the ticket booth through the other door, turn right, go forward and turn left when you have to. You'll now reach a load point, so go through that load point (the next level will load correctly), then go back through the load point you just went through, which will load the previous level again. Go through the load point again, and so on, and after five or six loads, the game will lock up with a yellow border.

Title = Warriors Orochi 2
ID = SLUS_218.03
Compatible = No
Notes = the game runs okay in the beginning, but when i select a character from story,dream and free mode it freezes, also when i play a battle with these 3 modes it freezes before it begins please tell me what to do.

Can you also try Warriors Orochi 2 with this test build:
https://github.com/ifcaro/Open-PS2-Loader/pull/226.

I managed to go back and forth on that spot 7 times. The eight one the game (and the Ps2 too) freezed when the loading screen appeared (loading bar completely empty). I had to hard-reset the Ps2.

Tested with the rev. you linked (OPL 1386)

Thank you very much for confirmation!

Tested with the rev. you linked (OPL 1386)

Tested through USB\HDD\ETH?
You've tried NTSC or PAL version (game ID should also be helpful).
Does mode 6 or any other mode help to avoid this freeze?

Theoretically according to compatibility lists this game should work with rev 996 or\and 1045 DB...
