[PS2] POPS stuff...

Regarding the support of USB devices: it seems like the compatibility problem with Kingston devices is no longer restricted to Kingston devices, as the chipset used in my new Toshiba 16GB USB disk appears to have been also used in a Kingston 16GB disk. This Toshiba 16GB disk seems to be having the same problems as Kingston devices: writing anything to it may corrupt the disk.

I have also managed to once observe reading fail, so it could be a sign that data is not being transferred properly between the PS2 and the USB device.
The activity indicator LED is also always seen blinking, even if nothing is accessing the USB disk (i.e. when uLaunchELF is left alone).

With older revisions of USBHDFSD (prior to any of my modifications in 2014), the problem seems to (although it is known to be there) be non-existent. But ever since I modified fat_WriteFile() to not read sectors that would have their content entirely replaced, the problem seems to be occurring more requently. The change was made, for better performance.

So for best reliability, perhaps it would be best to avoid such devices.
This does not only apply to POPStarter, but to any piece of homebrew software that supports USB Mass Storage Devices.

 

sp193 eu tenho um problema parecido quando tento instalar o FMCB no meu ps2 fat 39001 com meu pen drive Kingston de 8gb data travel, ele trava quando tento instalar o FMCB, ai instalo o mesmo com o meu nano pendrive multilazer de 4gb.

sp193 I have a similar problem when trying to install FMCB on my ps2 fat 39001 with my pen drive Kingston 8gb travel date, it hangs when I try to install FMCB, there install the same as my nano stick multilazer 4GB.

 

Desculpe em perguntar, caso alguém já tenha perguntado. Nao achei informação a respeito. Jogo compilado funciona (esses 3in1 das banquinha do paraguay?). Também, eu estou usando um dvd gravado do Ulaunch.elf pra poder executar os arquivos contidos no pendrive. Nao gosto muito de usar o freemcboot. Tem algum problema?

Anyone has tested compiled 3in1 like games? I've tested some unofficial ones (crash 3in1), and had no luck. Also, there is a problem using a dvd too execute the files within the flashdrive?

 

nevermind

 

Awesome emulator, but I do have a couple of questions, first, how do I apply the fixes? For example with the Crash games, or harry potter? Next, how would I apply the patches for a game not working, for example, Spider-Man for ps1 works fine, until you start a new game, pick the difficulty, and end up with a black screen. If I could get specific instructions, that be fantastic.

 

Read here and here.

 

Okay, so scratch what I said about Spider-Man, turns out it was the iso itself, got a new one, game works fine, but for some reason the walls turn invisible, and dialogue that's not suppose to be said until later stages is spouted randomly. I've tried applying all the patches one at a time, but only the dialogue seems to get fixed with some of them, the walls still turn invisible.

 

There is not solution for the graphic problems of the two Spider-Man games, bad luck for this games.

Best regards.

 

I see, thanks for the replies, but something I came across, so I noticed Crash Team Races has a fix, so I played the .Trojan into the VMC of Crash Team racing, but then all the voice clips spouted about at random. It seemed to be fixed when I actually removed it. What's that about?

 

Crash Team Racing (SCUS-94426) – Boot Fix

Might be a problem with the fix.

Description of all the fixes : https://bitbucket.org/ShaolinAssassin/popstarter-documentation-stuff/wiki/Game Compatibility

 

Cooked last month - had no time/will to work more on it since :





Link : here

 

nevermind

 

Kind of confused, my Crash Team Racing boots up and plays just fine with out the fix. Only thing that's wierd is when the masks appear to give you hints, their mouths don't move like in the original.

greets

 

How is IGR accessed? I've forgot.. Nice theme btw

 

By pressing "SELECT+START+L1".
You can change that by copy TROJAN to VMC from IGR Behaviour Modifiers (available in POPStarter_r13_WIP_05.zip).

 

time without being in the forums it seems that our friend who leads the development of a long holiday pops know nothing of the since December last year was taken, I hope you do not forget us and the emulator.

 

Yes, coming out of hiding and posting messages complaining that the developer for not updating is the *perfect* way to see future updates. Thanks for that, mate.
