Resident Evil 2 now WORKING on 3.40 OE

[x3sphere]

The best RE game ever is now working on 3.40 OE thanks to graz68 ! No more freeze at the police station.

I tested this on the US Dual Shock version of the game (also is confirmed working on the JP version by graz98), all you need to do is make sure the GameID of the disc is changed to SLPS01222 when creating the eboot.

Settings:

So this whole time all anyone ever needed to do was change the Game ID to the Japanese version? :huh:

yeah lol, amazing isn't it. Sony must've put in specific patches for certain GameIDs.

edit: yep, I was right. I did some digging in pops.prx, take a look at Mathieulh's post for the full game list.

So this is a list of games that have specific issues unless you use a specific Game ID?

[x3sphere]

yup exactly :smile: Possibly the GameIDs can be used on other games as well.. I've heard reports of the RE2 ID fixing the freeze problem in FF8.

[Krelian]

I've played a bit of the Silent Hill I ripped without any issues...
Should I remake my EBOOT using SLPM86192 as my GameID?
This is a great development but it sure makes complications when trying to compile compatibility lists...
It'd be nice to see the database in PSX2PSP updated to take advantage of these developments (or is it already?) I've never used the "Apply patches" checkbox in PSX2PSP (what's that used for anyway?)
Heh heh, sorry about all the questions, I'm pretty psyched to play RE2...

I'd only change it if you're having issues with the game. Apparently Brave Fencer Musashi is also working with the RE2 ID. Haven't tested yet though too busy with RE2 :biggrin:

the "apply patches" box is for PAL compatibility (not needed anymore since the new pops support PAL)

[wasqa]

Hey, found out about this through QJ.Net

Thanks for the info and list, but would anyone have a code for Final Fantasy 8?! :)

[UnknownEnemy]

me 2 :smile: wat about bugs bunny? will this work on it?

edit: YES!!! but its slow mo... i used SLPS01222, tryin more codes :)

edit2: wtf? its not working anymore!!! using SLPS01222 again, an it freezes after language select...

edit3: nvmnd, still slow, cant understand y, I BET THIS IS THE ONLY GAME THAT DOESNT WORK!!

[x3sphere]

apparently SLPS01222 fixes the random freezing problem in FF8. Give it a try.

[Byakuya]

Well, the German Version of Resident Evil 2 works with this trick too.
But i only use the Claire Disc and it works ^.^
I'm Happy now!

[Vheissu]

Thank you for this info.!

I wonder if this will work for Chrono Cross and Legend of Legaia too? I love those games... My PSP freezes on the lizard boss part at the beginning of the game and in Legaia on the Healing Leaf part

Also for the person who used this trick for FF8: did you use SLPS01222 as well?

[RomTheStampede]

Haha Just beat RE2 on PSP :biggrin:

[MenaceInc]

this just screws up my pops compatibility list....although the release of 3.30 and 3.40 OE's didnt help...ah well :D tis great news though...i think i shall try it out later :P

Question: I have the FF8 cd rip and every time I try to change the GameID it refuses to boot. I'm on OE 3.40-A and I am using PSX2PSP v0.7.1 to do the conversion. I have it set to create the GameID folder with 0 compression and no special images included. I change the GameID in the first window to SLPS01222 and I also change the output folder to match that. Am I doing something wrong? This is originally the same image I used to get up to the Dollett Comm Tower final fight, so I know it worked at one point. Any suggestions? Thanks again for figuring out these "hacks" and getting more games working all! Woo hoo!!

[delorean88mph]

MISTER BOB, THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OFF IS THAT YOU HAVE ALSO USED THIS GAME ID FOR RES EVIL 2, OR ANOTHER GAME THAT HAS BEEN MADE BY YOU, WHICH IS CONFUSING THE SYSTEM, WHICH IS STOPPING FF8 FROM BOOTING. IF NOT I'LL DO SOME HOMEWORK 4 YA, JUS LET US KNOW.

Alright I got the game booting again (I was trying to just use PSX2PSP to convert the EBOOT.PBP from one GameID to the other, but instead I ripped the ISO out of the eboot and then reconverted it with the new GameID) but I am wondering how I can use the old memory cards (which were using the original SLUS GameID) with the new eboot (which is using SLPS01222). Is this where I would use some sort of cheat system to load the memory card into ram and then save onto the new one or is there some way to convert the "old" memory cards to the new system? Thanks a bunch for the info!

[MenaceInc]

umm,just had a thought in reference to this game ID fix.....

it'd muck up the gamesaves....having multiple games with one name will mean any time you play one game and save it,then play another game and save that,you'd lose the progress for the 1st game.....

true but every save folder is basically a virtual memory card. so you should be able to get around 20 gave saves on one ID.

[seargent007]

great find. I actually knew certain IDs caused changes in POPs but never really dwelled on it. I looked for a while for an ID that fixes the HOJO battle in FF7 US version but gave up quickly cause i dont like sitting around for the convert, then playing and almost killing hojo just to have the screen fuck up. Anyone care to find an ID working with it? (will test this RE ID myself). Also, i remember that some PSX emulators on PC needed an option checked to run FF7 uninterupted.

[Tenshigami]

Hmmmm...It could be possible to use this info to reverse engineer pops and create a plugin to load specific hacks in a way similar to popsloader loads different versions of pops.

But again, it would require someone with the skill, desire, and time on their hands to do so. While I have the desire, I'm severely lacking in the skill and time department. Guess we'll have to stick with using incorrect IDs.

I'm glad to hear FF8 is working, however. I'll have to give it a try.

i suppose but it is still rather annoying....but would save on memory card space too XD

[minister_bob]

Not to be a whiner...but have we ever figured out a way to use the memory cards we had in our original PSX rips with ones that use the updated GameIDs?

[delorean88mph]

guys jus a quick update :

for RESIDENT EVIL 2 - LEON : DISC ID -SLPS01222-
FOR DISC 2 (CLAIRE) - DISC ID IS -SLPS01223-

THIS WILL STOP THE SYSTEM GETTING CONFUSED.

[delorean88mph]

guys, run into a bit of a prob, and it sounds really noobish but i do apologise.

finished leon disc 1 and it has created a claire scenario B save file.

however, when i try to load this on the claire disc eboot it will not find the save file.

i have tried various different methods e.g same disc id, same save id but nothing works.

not sure if the ntsc game worked in this way but i can imagine its the same format.

n e ideas about how to fix or has any one encountered the same prob?

n e one know of a fix ?

cheers

in your previous post


for RESIDENT EVIL 2 - LEON : DISC ID -SLPS01222-
FOR DISC 2 (CLAIRE) - DISC ID IS -SLPS01223-

that is not correct. both GameIDs need to be the same (SLPS01222).. the system won't get confused.

[delorean88mph]

i do apologise guys, my mistake.

very sorry

I figured out how to transfer memory cards from one GameID to another. If this has been said before, I'm sorry, I just figured it out, so I figured I'd share :) Basically its pretty simple. If you have old saves you want to use on your new GameID'd PSX Game, just rename the folder in /PSP/GAME/SAVEDATA to something else (say, OLD_GAME_SAVES). Then, start your new PSX->PSP converted game with the corrected GameID, and get to a point where the memory card is accessed (for me, I'm working with FF8, so I simply went to 'Continue' in the main menu and checked the memory cards, which, of course, were empty) Then, shut down the game, and access your MSPD however you normally do (either over the PSP, in a card reader, telepathically, etc.) Navigate to the savegame folder, and see the new directory which is named for your corrected GameID (or however else you named it). Then, just copy ALL of the files EXCEPT CONFIG.BIN AND PARAMS.SFO from the *OLD* memory card into the *NEW* directory, overwriting anything in there. Then, just boot up the game, and viola! Your old memory cards are usable! Now I can finally finish the Dollett Comm. Tower portion without starting over :D Just thought I'd share, and good luck to you all!

[RJC4LIFE]

Anyone know of a fix for Persona 2? It lags quite a bit in certain areas.

[anadriall]

Do you think I should use this to fix the freezing whenever I exit buildings on Digimon World 3??

[x3sphere]

could try it. doesn't work on all games but worth a try.

[anadriall]

Okay do I just change the gameID when I go to extract the EBOOT from the .bin file? (In PSX2PSP)

[x3sphere]

Okay do I just change the gameID when I go to extract the EBOOT from the .bin file? (In PSX2PSP)

wait, what? EBOOT or bin, it doesn't matter. Just open it up from the ISO/PBP field in PSX2PSP. Should display a GameID then, so change it to the one specified in this thread. Then hit convert.

[anadriall]

... didnt work

[x3sphere]

... didnt work

Afraid the game is not compatible then, at least with 3.71 M33 :/

[anadriall]

Well, just wondering but have you ever tried Dragon Warrior VII? I'm having trouble getting that one to work as well because whenever I select the .bin file, it doesn't even find a game title or anything like it does with everything else.. Which is odd... To me at least.

Yeah, I have DQ VII and it works fine. Not certain why it'd be doing that - you sure the bin file isn't corrupted or anything?

What program are you using to dump the bin file?

[anadriall]

Dump it? Like rip it from the disc? Isobuster... And then PSX2PSP..

[anadriall]

Well, after I select the title (Dragon Warrior VII Disc 1 out of 2) it picks the saveid and the gameid... But like, then when I get it on my PSP it shows as corrupt data... This is really odd.. To me at least.. !!!!! By the way when I ripped the disc for some reason it came out as a .NRG file.. Don't know if that'll help at all..

[anadriall]

Hmm... This is really gay, I wanna play this game... I miss it. ;-P

[anadriall]

Okay, don't know what I did different.. But it worked this time.

[anadriall]

No wait.. Now it says the game can't start.... God hates me.

.NRG definitely won't work. Make certain its being ripped straight to .bin or .iso

[anadriall]

Okay, FROM the .nrg file I ripped a .bin file which I ripped to a eboot.

[anadriall]

The error says The Game Could Not Be Started (80000004)

[x3sphere]

Okay, FROM the .nrg file I ripped a .bin file which I ripped to a eboot.

that's why, you need to go from the original disc to .bin or .iso

converting from an .nrg never works. Had a couple discs in that format and had to rip them again to .bin from the CD.

[anadriall]

Damn, that's what I get for borrowing a friends burnt cds..

[RJC4LIFE]

Does everyone already know that in 371M33 for RE2 you now have to use the game ID for Biohazard 2 Dual Shock Version (J) ?? Wonder why that was changed?

[x3sphere]

I didn't know that. They must've changed the GameID list.

So you have to use SLPS01510 now?

[RJC4LIFE]

If thats the one I referred to..I don't have either with me now..(Icetea etc or RE2)
But with the original fix(slps01222 or whatever it was) you couldn't get past the warning screen(ingame) it would freeze and I had to enable fast disc speed to go past it but when I tried to start a game it would black screen me..I tried the other ID (BioHazard 2 Dual Shock Version (J) and viola!!No problems..

Yeah, it was adressed, but it broke some games too..shadow madness is broke..but CC is fully playable all the way thru. As long as you don't go into the satus screen, said that though..

It does seem, to me at least, that they are either planning to release more games and fixing them beforehand thanks to CFW guinea pigs..or just simply improving the emu..

RJC i have the same problem but i do not have the original disc to rip.. is there somewhere i can get a copy of RE2 that will work with 3.71M33?? or is there a way i can convert the eboot that i have?

If you open up the EBOOT in PSX2PSP you can change the Save ID without re-ripping.

RJ said the Japanese Game ID works, which is SLPS 01510. Try that.

Thanks i'll give it a shot!
