Online-capable game compatibility issues with MX4SIO #752

Open Casuallynoted opened 2 years ago

Casuallynoted commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I'm using an MC2SIO and have noticed that any network-enabled games I try to play are not working properly. Most (about 90% of them) don't load at all, while the remaining games may get to a loading screen before hanging. At first I didn't think it was related to network capabilities, but I tested .hack//Infection (which loaded) vs. .hack//Fragment (basically the same game but online and didn't load) and think this is the best explanation for why these seem to be the types of games I'm struggling with getting to load. I should mention that so far, all non-online games I've tried seem to be loading with much better compatibility. If there's anything I can do to assist with this, I'd be happy to contribute.

I'm currently using a PS2 Slim 7000 model with FreeMCBoot and OPL v1.2.0-Beta-1938-f36e568.

I am using MX4SIO but I am on 1920 and not 1938. Most if not every one of the online-capable games work for me (Jak X is an exception here kinda). I know that versions above 1920 or 1922 may have some issues with certain games but not sure about 1938 didn't try it yet. Also .hack//Fragment works on 1920 I tried it already (fan translated to english and online patched to work).

Oddly enough, I just tried it with 1920 and getting the same black screen with fragment (also using the English patch net slum server iso). My SD card is running using an exfat partition but the issue happens even with FAT32.

Could also be the cluster size when you formatted it. Its advised to use 32kb/16kb with exfat I know. Could also be the ISO itself maybe its corrupted or something..

Tricky thing is it’s happening with multiple games, I reformatted my card using 16k clusters but same result. Going to try with a different branded card.
