(Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles) "Symphony of the Night" crashes to XMB, gives error code (80020148)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

- What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Load ISO of Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles while running PRO CFW.
2. Select "Original Game" from title screen, then "Symphony of the Night."

- What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The game attempts to load, showing a Now Loading prompt followed by a black 
screen with memory stick activity. The PSP then falls back to the XMB and 
displays the error message, "The game cannot be run. (80020148)"

- What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

PRO 6.60 Nightly Build 1259:03288a19692d on a PSP-3000.

- Please provide any additional information below.

Problem is similar to a previous issue 
(http://code.google.com/p/procfw/issues/detail?id=18&can=1&q=castlevania), 
however given that the game does not crash the PSP and also displays a specific 
error message, I thought it was worth submitting a new ticket.

I ripped the game ISO personally from my copy. Problem also occurred on an 
older nightly build from April, and also with 6.60 C-2. No plugins installed. 
Tried all three UMD drivers to no avail. Main game and other original game - 
Rondo of Blood - work fine.

Try using 6.xx PRO-C.fix 3 instead of C2 or nightly.

@piotrekhenry: Actually I just tried PRO-C.fix 3 today! Sadly, it didn't help 
and SotN still boots it back to the XMB. Also tried disabling ISO caching with 
no result.

Obviously you need to patch the ISO.

I don't know about any patch, but out of curiosity I tried a different ISO from 
a US copy and the problem seems to be gone. I can only think there was 
something wrong with the rip I did, or that the issue only occurs with an ISO 
of the European version.

Either way, it's most likely an ISO problem, not a PRO problem. Sorry to clog 
up the issues page.
