Loads then displays the 'Sony presents' screen then... does nothing...
The problem seems to come from the intro & menu videos... but I can't make a patch as there is no sceMpegIsEnd value...

If somebody (Nachbrenner?) knows another way to patch it, here's the elf file...

Yet another game with underlayed videos in menus.

Just took a look at the PAL version and ported some stuff.
With these patches, you should be able to reach menus.
Hit circle or start buttons when log reads IDEC error.
If it works, make a blockdump for saqib, he will be happy about a bunch of IPU bugs :lol:

This attached beta is PRE CVS and has no MFIFO fixes etc, so proberbly is bug tastic, but it does in theory fix the IDEC errors (did in Crazy taxi atleast - which now plays intro video).

Thus I'd recommend testing this game with this beta, but not advise it for any other general tests.

Sorry, this beta freezes on starting video.
With crushtest's built from 09.07.05 you get menus.
Don't know though what i messed up by poking into the sceIpu routines :eyemove:

Thanks to Nachbrenner's patch, I was able to skip the videos & go to menus... and in-game!
Very slow and a weird gfx bug happens : graphics look perfect during the screen fade-in... but as soon it starts to be playable, some texture alphas & 3D become ****ed-up... :???: Too bad... It's looking very good otherwise...

Seems that beta from 09 July is more stable than this one, which sometimes freezes with cputlbmiss error...
