This is the easiest to reproduce crash. Here's the savedata: https://pixeldrain.com/u/UPgf4hEz Instructions to reproduce the crash: Talk to Clay, get on the horse, follow him... It is almost constant (and if it does not crashes, just wait until the cinematic ends after you reach Clay on the horse and done, it will crash)

Edit: Video showcase: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/654819194482851880/1124112743297994892/VID_20230629_190210_655.mp4

Edit 2: If you go past Clay, it crashes, else, it does not. Still, this is the best way to trigger the crash and spot what might be wrong.

Gun [SLUS_211.39 & SLES_535.23]:

OPL Stable 1.1.0 SMB - freezes on black screen

OPL Beta 1.2.0 2016 SMB - freezes on black screen (ISO & ZSO)

My PS2 model is SCPH-90008. Compatibility modes do not help. I use redump images and don't use PADEMU, VMC, GSM.

[AKuHAK]

OPNPS2LD can someone test the game with this build? @10522 @HowlingWolfHWC

[10522]

@AKuHAK

OPL Beta 1.2.0 2037 SMB NTSC ISO - freezes on black screen OPL Beta 1.2.0 2037 SMB PAL ZSO - freezes on black screen

[AKuHAK]

@10522 GUN probably will never work in SMB due to memory limitiations, only USB have some hope

[hardlevel]

So it's fixed on 2041?

[10522]

@AKuHAK, @hardlevel

OPL Beta 1.2.0 2037 USB NTSC ISO - freezes on black screen (ISO & ZSO) OPL Beta 1.2.0 2045 USB NTSC ISO - freezes on black screen (ISO & ZSO)

By the way, in this report, I forgot to mention that after a black screen, a strange sound appears and after a few seconds it disappears. But in new versions of OPL this sound no longer appears. Also, if you turn on all compatibility modes and run this game in ZSO, you can see a very funny glitch.

[hardlevel]

I will take a look in this glitch

[AKuHAK]

It needs mode 2+3+5+6

[Phantasm90]

It needs mode 2+3+5+6

For the game to work or for the glitch @10522 mentioned?

[10522]

@AKuHAK, @Phantasm90, these compatibility modes do not fix the game or cause a glitch. This game still freezes on a black screen like in this video.

Anyone has any idea when this bug started? I remember a long time ago even long before 1.0 version I finished this game using OPL without any problems

[10522]

@hugogacia360, can you check these OPL versions using this instruction? If you find a version that does not have this issue, then I can find out the exact build that started this issue.

The link you provided is not working, but I think you be very hard to find the exact version which the bug started. I've beaten this like using OPL but this was like back in 2017 or 2018 a long time ago

[10522]

@hugogacia360, strange, this link works for me. Anyway, you can also use this link. Just find any version of OPL that does not have this issue and I will find the build that started this issue (I already have experience with this).

Okay this may take a while until I have time to play and get to the part where the bug happens. Do you know if this part is very far ?

[robinsharma619]

just a hour or two where u have to talk to clay and ride on horse. plz play it as soon u can i am also facing this issue. Also what version u use to play without any problems

[10522]

@hugogacia360, @robinsharma619, using this instruction you will need only a few minutes to reproduce this issue.

[colton212452]

hi guys someone find a fix for gun ?

[10522]

@colton212452, try this.

[Cosmic-Starlight]

even on latest beta as of this writing (2123-72cb5af) the issue is still present black screens seemingly at random when it tries to load a cutscene or something tried 0.9.3 just in case and that black screens even faster same behavior its the same thing on SMB and HDD
