What serial number it have?

SLPM-62525, also i got it to play(albeit no display), "--vu-xgkick-delay=4" brings in the 3 splash screens before title screen. I hit the buttons to get in game(still running black screen) then you get the the stage intro, then all you see is the character on a black screen(still running, you can do moves).

~~This issue is similar to Golden Knight GARO™ (Japan). I can't get this one to display gameplay either, but it is working in the background.~~

Configs for both is the same. What is it you are having problems with?

The game crashes on startup. Both of them do. I only manage to get it to launch and somewhat play (until a random crash occurs) if I use no configs and just create the fpkg, if you or someone else can help I'd appreciate it kindly.

Sorry, I do not use that program. I wouldn't know the first thing about it. But, the Armored Core 3 files are not emulator files, they are config files for said game to use WITH psychonauts emu.

I've given it another try and I think I understand how to do it properly this time around.

So I ran PS2-FPKG again, chose Psychonauts v2 as my emu and used the config-emu-ps4.txt from the Armored core 3 folder that you shared with me. It let me create the pkg this time around with no errors and I managed to install it just fine. Thing is, it still crashed when I ran the arena while the rest of the game still ran fine.

Is there any other tweak that I could try? I don't mind skipping the arena aspect but that crash is a symptom of another crash that happens way later and I'm reluctant to sink 4~ hours if it means the final mission will also crash on me.

Someone else would have tackle this one. It would probably have to be addressed in LUA

Just for fun. Testing the capability of multiple game configs in a multi disc pkg. This works perfectly so far.

Notes:
-- disc01 - unmodified disc(widescreen)
-- disc02 - renamed ELF(4:3 with MK bezel and scanlines)
-- disc03 - MKSM prototype disc(stutters a bit)(4:3 with MK bezel and scanlines)

I made a custom MKSM disc(just to change the SLUS id). The 3rd disc is the MKSM prototype found out there(also rebuilt to change SLUS id). This config setup makes it possible to put together a 5 disc GTA PS2 series package with all configs, LUAs, etc specific to each disc in the package. Assets attached. @Vika23, can you test?
