PS2 [Open PS2 Loader] Game Bug Reports

I apologize if it's been mentioned before, but you can bypass the black screen triggered by Vampire Darkstalkers Collection by holding R1 when turning on the console, which takes you to ULaunchElf and you boot up OPL through there. Then the collection will not freeze when loading its games:

Also, I'm curious to know if there's been any improvement when it comes to FMV stuttering? I started playing Kingdom Hearts 1 and the intros (both when starting a new file and when letting the game hang on the title screen) have significant stuttering. Aside from those (and the ending cutscene probably), the game seems to work fine.
I'm using MC2SIO on a fat PS2 SCPH-50010
The version of OPL I'm using is v1.2.0-Beta-2082-c27139

That game has the same problem as Cartoon Network Racing. You have to launch OPL through ULaunchELF instead or the game won't make it past the company logo screen. It's odd how the FMCB menu can glitch some games like this. I don't know if there are others affected.
 
Nevermind my earlier post about Kingdom Hearts 1 seemingly working fine aside from the FMV cutscenes... I tried loading up my in-game save file earlier today and it always gets stuck on a blackscreen.

Which exact version of KH1? Could you please provide us the ID?
 
I tried playing Super Bust-A-Move from MX4SIO and the game just crash/freeze when you finish the first level. This happens on both the PAL (SLES-50076) and NTSC (SLUS-20115) version of the game.

VMC, GSM and Pademu was disabled. The OPL version used was 1.2.0 beta 2182.

It works when using NHDDL+Neutrino. I played 3 levels of the puzzle mode and it wasn't freezing, loading from both MX4SIO and USB.

This is an already reported game (I reported it myself).
The game works fine in neutrino using UDPBD, but fails on USB.

At which point does it fail? I played 3 levels of the puzzle mode without crashing, from both MX4SIO and USB using Neutrino. I think I didn't play it long enough or didn't complete enough levels to crash it?

Seems like Maximus32 fixed the issue I reported to him time ago.

Beating one level was enough for it to crash on PS2ESDL. In neutrino, it was BSOD before.

It's the original version of KH1, SLUS_203.70
I tried loading my save file again and this time the music of the area started playing, but the game was still stuck on a blackscreen.

Please, provide me your savedata.
 
Is there a way to fix this problem of the game Driv3r ? https://github.com/ps2homebrew/Open-PS2-Loader/issues/895
it's literally impossible to enjoy driving in this game with this problem by playing it from USB, alot of OPL versions tested.
Also the game Stuntman has big issues on intro FMV sequence and on career mode cutscenes, they freeze if we don't skip them fast enough, the menu selection screens transition takes long time to load too.
i appreciate if someone fixes these issues, this 2 games are very nostalgic.

You can try this game with NHDDL+Neutrino:
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/nhddl.45053/.

Additionally try compatibility modes:
- Mode 1: IOP: Fast reads + Mode 3: EE: Unhook syscalls
- Mode 3: EE: Unhook syscalls + Mode 5: IOP: Fix game buffer overrun

This game has a high bitrate FMVs so I doubt that there can be done something about it because PS2 only has USB 1.1.
So this interface has a low bandwidth.

As for FMVs if you do not skip then fast enough you have to wait ~2 min and listen a weird\choppy sound,
although eventually it will load.

Hey thanks for answering, i tried Driv3r on NHDLL but unfortunately it had no effect, also the Mode 3 + Mode 5 makes the console goes to ps2 memory card browser.

I forgot to tell here but FlatOut 2 has no car/smash/destruction sounds and only music works, tested in the latest OPL beta version with USB

Did you try NHDDL v1.1.0 + neutrino-20241206-30508edb?
https://github.com/pcm720/nhddl/releases/tag/v1.1.0,
https://github.com/rickgaiser/neutrino/releases/tag/latest.

Because IOP buffer overrun was added recently, this mode is absent in neutrino v1.3.1.

Thanks for the info.
Can you try this game with OPL 1920-1925:
https://mega.nz/folder/Ndwi1bAK#oLWNhH_g-h0p4BoT4c556A/folder/FR4Q3YgC.

EDIT: Additionally an issue has been added:

I tried now Driv3r on the latest neutrino + NHDLL v1.1.0 you sended, the game booted with Buffer overrun but unfortunately the game still has that freezes and unfreezes when driving in the city, i also tried the other modes but had they no effect.

i tested FlatOut 2 on those OPL builds you sended
OPL build 1920 : game works with all sounds.
OPL build 1925 : game freezes on boot

I also found this person on github having same issues : https://github.com/ps2homebrew/Open-PS2-Loader/issues/1175
the person that answered him mentioned this OPL build from August 2023 : "OPL Beta 1.2.0 2036 USB - SFX work well (ISO & ZSO)"
 
I'm on the latest OPL beta and Metal Arms isn't working. I always get a blackscreen at startup. Already tried compatbility modes 1,2 and 6 but i won't start. Has someone an idea?

Thanks
