Apv2 patch applied but Game still stuck at protection screen #2

I've been trying to patch Winning Eleven 2002 [J] [SLPM-87056] (it's a late 2000 game so it has Apv2 protection), I used Aprip to patch the track1 of the game, the app said that found Apv2 and applied succesfully the bypass. However after I burn the game on a CD-R and boot it on my PSOne it still gets stuck in the protection screen.

First image is the Aprip, second one is the game stuck in the protection. Maybe I'm missing something, but not sure.

img links are broken, but I looked at this game and it applies the VC0 patch. Does the console have a non-stealth mod-chip? The VC0 patch should work for consoles without a mod-chip. I'm gonna check this out more @Ninten2 .

Confirmed patch seems to work in emulation, will try on a real console next: Screenshot from 2024-07-06 23-01-33

I checked with a console without any mod-chip using Tonyhax International and the bypass does work. The VC0 bypass generated by Aprip doesn't work for consoles with a non-stealth mod-chip (I also have a chipped console and verified this, but I already knew it wouldn't work).

Aprip can sometimes generate a Fake PAL bypass that does also work for non-stealth mod-chips, but it can't for this game.

I can add support for the game in Tonyhax International (so that it also works for non-stealth mod-chip consoles)
