PSX Games Locking up

D

I just upgraded to M33 3.53 update 3 and it is great. I do have an issue where I did not before.

2 PSX games
Dukes of Hazzard Race for Home &
Hydro Thunder

Before the Update Dukes of Hazzard Race for Home did not work at all, it would not load. It now loads and plays GREAT, but it locks up at no certain point.

Before I did the update I could play Hydro Thunder without any issues except it had no sound, now there is sound which is AWESOME but it locks up intermittently as well.

Not sure if there is a setting or something I need to enable/disable now after the update.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you...
 
well...you could try using the pops loader or trying a new GAME ID, it worked with FF8, fixed the random crashes :D
 
Hm, which firmware were you on before? There shouldn't be a difference in pops compatibility between 3.52 M33-2 and 3.52 M33-3...

Anyways...

Like Darkchild said, you can try changing the GameID. It activates a special compatibility mode from within pops. It's not guaranteed to fix the problem but it may work.

To edit the GameID open up your PSone EBOOT with PSX2PSP and change it to SLPS 01222, then save.

Everything else can stay the same.
 
I went from m33 3.51 to 3.52 then I applied the patch3, it says something about the loader in the patch but I am not sure. I use POPSTATION to create the eboots and it selected the correct gameid after I select the correct game. It has has worked fine for 27 PSX titles until I updated, it has something to do with this m33 release or patch I think.
I tried deleting the savegame data dir as well to recreate but with no luck.

Nah, not a problem with the M33 firmware then.

Sony makes changes to the PSone emulator with every new firmware release. That explains why these games worked differently in 3.52 than they did in 3.51.

Still though, you should try editing the GameID as I suggested above. It MAY fix it, if not, the game simply isn't fully compatible with the PSone emulator yet.
 
I think it was my stupidity, it appears to be fixed now. I neglected to create a popsloader dir and copy the popsloader.prx into it
I have played quite a bit on 2 PSX games with no lockups, Thank you very much for your help!
