tonyhax version: 1.3 Installation method: wLaunchELF Entry point game: Crash Bandicoot 2 Cortex Strikes Back Console model: SCPH-75003 Target game: BESCES-0096700765150

Bug explanation: Previously when running Tonyhax on a PS2 Slim the exploit would succeed, it just wouldn't let me load anything cus of 'unsupported region', however now when I load it I just get a blue screen and it freezes

Thanks for the report! This new version uses a unusual BIOS call which, although supported on the PS1, might be stubbed on the PS2 since to my knowledge no commercial game ever used it.

I am gonna attempt to obtain the list of supported BIOS calls on the PS2 and see how to sort this out.

Meanwhile, could you please give a try with this save file instead? It will display a myriad of colors while booting, one after every BIOS call, so if it gets stuck anywhere it would be much easier to debug: entrypoints.zip

That save file seems to work fine

Perfect, thanks for testing it out. I'll release a 1.3.1 tonight with that hotfix.

I've just released v1.3.1 which fixes this issue: https://github.com/socram8888/tonyhax/releases/tag/v1.3.1

It's the same entry point as the one I sent you minus the flashing colors, so there's no need to update for you.
