Dance Dance Revolution 5th Mix Infinite Loading Screens

[SageSandwich]

Before opening this kind of issue, please ensure:

• Are you using a compatible console version?
• Are you using CD-R media, and not CD-RW?
• Did you copy all the files in the expected format to the memory card?

tonyhax version: 1.44 / 1.45 Installation method: Transferred the files via uLaunchElf on PS2 Entry point game: Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 Console model: SCPH-101 Integrity check: Passes BIOS version: V4.4 Target game: Dance Dance Revolution 5th Mix (SLPM-86897)

Bug explanation: The game boots fine all the way up to the main menu. From there, if I try to go into "Options" or "Training", the game will be stuck loading infinitely. I can confirm 100% that this happens with "Training" & "Options" however, I haven't tried the other options on the menu yet. I will get to that when I get a chance and add those details accordingly.

This is probably also an EDC protected game. Can you try burning the CD image using either: Alchol 120% The latest dev branch of CDRDAO using the generic-mmc-raw and --swap arguments (more info here https://alex-free.github.io/cdrdao )

I'll try that, unfortunately, I don't have access to my PSOne or burner for a week or so, so I'll let you know how that goes. Thank you for the suggestion.

Np. I can try this later and I'll let you know.

Burned a copy of the game using Alcohol 120% and that seems to have solved my issue. The game no longer freezes.

Excellent, confirmed this in an EDC protected game.
