Phew, it's working again :dance:

You still must use INT to boot.
Because one piece of program code after another loads to 01d0b600
(straight without ExecPS2 or LoadExecPS2)
language.ovl
mcman.ovl
logo.ovl
title.ovl
gamemenu.ovl
charasel.ovl
fishing.ovl

However, once you are in actual gameplay (fishing.ovl) you may switch to VUREC
With VUREC log reads loads of:
VF write to the same reg in both lower/upper cycle
Before you leave gameplay you must switch back to INT

This game does even have an aquarium and a tacklebox mode. Plays at 10 FPS with VUREC

I made a video (1MB) of actual gameplay.
"Playable" at 4 FPS with VUREC , water looks very nice

Status Playable
