Hi. There is a good chance I have missed something, but I can't get past the 'Swap CD now'. This is on PAL unit and games. Using v1.2 and v1.2.1 I am using 'Sports Superbike' and a memory card with more than just Tony Hax and Sports Superbike saves on it (Sports Superbike is streaming a sound track still while at tonyhax menu, if that is important). I get the payload to run but when I swap the disc and close the lid nothing more happens. My PS1 7502 is standard my 9002 has a mod chip. I was using the mod chipped PS1 also as I know it is ok with the CD-Rs I use to rule that out. I have tried Destruction Derby, Doom, Micro Machines and Tempest X3. Thanks.

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: Which version are you running? Please ensure you are running the latest stable, or a newer beta. Installation method: How did you get tonyhax on the memory card? Entry point game: Which game are you using to launch tonyhax? Console model: Console product code, written on the bottom of the unit, such as "SCPH-7502" Integrity check: If it boots, does the built-in integrity check succeed? BIOS version: If you can get to boot, which version of the BIOS does it report? Target game: If the bug happens when launching a game, what's its name and game code? Example: "Spyro 3 (SCES-02835)"

Bug explanation: Details: Tonyhax version: 1.4.3 Ps1 version: SCPH-7501 (NTSC-U/C) Ps1 Bios version: v1.4 Game used to run tonyhax: THPS3 (SLUS-01419) I got Tony Hax onto my memory card using a ps2 with UlaunchElf I followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01gVgTQLP9U Games with Problems: DanceDanceRevolution 2ndRemix (japan) (SLPM-86252) DanceDanceRevolution (japan) (SLPM-86222)

Problem: Both Games get stuck at the notice screen at the beginning of the game. Other DDR games like 3rd and 5th mix work fine (all these being Japanese)

I'd like to make tonyhax booting from one (or more) of these games (PAL version):

• Castlevania SotN
• Final Fantasy VII
• Tomb Raider 2, 3, 4, 5 (i think TR 3 is the most popular, could be useful for others too)
• Paperino operazione papero (very similar to crash bandicoot)
• Gran Turismo 2
• Urban Chaos
• Tarzan
• Resident Evil Director's cut
• Tekken 3
• Air Combat
• Dino Crisis
• Colin McRae Rally
• Spyro 3
• Deathrap Dungeon
• Ridge Racer revolution

Bug explanation: On both my consoles, tonyhax recognizes and loads both games but I only get a black screen. Not capcom logo, no music. Note: I burned gameshark 4.0 to act as a boot disc and that succeeded on the SCPH-101, but gameshark doesn't load properly on my 5501. Would really prefer to play this on the 5501, without a gameshark.

Bug explanation: (Sry for engrish :/) Hi, I tested some games on my PS2. These games don't work: -Ace Combat 2 - freeze on "Starting". Sometimes this issue happen on no$psx. -Test Drive 6 - black screen after FMV. Same issue on no$psx. -Resident Evil 3 - freeze on "Starting" or "This game contains...". no$psx - only on "This game contains..." (Maybe libcrypt? I couldn't find any patch or patched version). -Nightmare Creatures - black screen after tonyhax, works on no$psx. -Final Fantasy 7 - black screen after intro (maybe bad laser). Works on no$psx. -Final Fantasy Tactics - freeze on square logo. Not checked on no$psx, but there's MVG video https://youtu.be/8b5UX5xd-lE?t=269 Fun fact: NTSC-J version works just fine https://youtu.be/o6M_rp3HgLc?t=205 -Pitfall 3D - freeze on loading screen (maybe bad laser). Works on no$psx.

Also, 1 bugged game: Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 1 (SLUS-00399) - music from THPS continues to play in menu and FMV. After selecting games it stops.

If you want I can type all working games on my console. Anyway, thanks for this hack, I can finally complete PE2 and some TRPG's 👍

Tonyhax version: 1.3.3 Console: SCPH-102 (PAL) Bios Version: 4.4

Basically any game I try to load crashes. The only way to load them is by removing the memory card. Why's the protection not working?

tonyhax version: v1.2.2b (think it was the build posted with the Parasite Eve fix)

Game name: Aconcagua (Japan) (Disc 1 & 2)

Game code: SCPS-10131 / SCPS-10132

Console model: SCPH-101 NTSC U/C, BIOS v4.5 05/25/00 A

Executable hash: Disc 1 SCPS_101.31 SHA-1: 0AA2AF9D40270955DF9BBFBC003402DF7B940956 PROGRAM.BIN SHA-1: FD51721B8433F33A15135EBE2342713DA53DBA52

Disc 2 SCPS_101.32 SHA-1: 0AA2AF9D40270955DF9BBFBC003402DF7B940956 PROGRAM.BIN SHA-1: FD51721B8433F33A15135EBE2342713DA53DBA52

After some digging there's a PS-X EXE header for PROGRAM.BIN and that's where the antipiracy message is.

Triggered at: Immediately I don't have a copy of disc 2 ready to go at the moment, but disc 1 triggers it pretty much immediately after the game starts loading.

I found one of the player name stack buffer overflows in Castlevania Chronicles https://playstationdev.wiki/ps1devwiki/index.php?title=Vulnerabilities and successfully used it to boot tonyhax on no$psx. However, it gets stuck on the green screen in the secondary loader, the ExitCriticalSection in reinit_kernel does not return properly.

Full Problem: when loading create skater, it holds on the blue screen for a few seconds (like normal accourding to my research) and then flashes really fast and lands on a screen that looks like the normal screen, but there is purple blocks in place of where the letters would be.

I don't know how to check Triggered at: Please explain when is the screen shown, eg "after the Sony logo", or "after the first video" Before the game even boots Is the console chipped?: Yes or no. NO Is it an original disc or a burned copy?: Self-explaining. ORIGINAL COPY

tonyhax version: tonyhax 1.4.3 Installation method: wrote the savegame to the memory card using a modded PS2 Entry point game: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 German version (SLES-03955) Console model: SCPH-5502 (PAL) Integrity check: passed BIOS version: v3.0 01/06/97 E Target game: Chrono Cross US version (SLUS-01041)

Bug explanation: Chrono Cross boots and initially seems to run fine. But for me, the game always hangs after the first battle and won't return back to the dungeon after the battle results screen. The disc drive sounds like it is stuck in an endless loop of spinning down and spinning up again (sound recording attached) chrono_cross_drive_sound.zip

• Tried different media and burn speeds - no change
• Other games (namely Xenogears and Metal Gear Solid) work just fine on the same PS1 using tonyhax
• Chrono Cross (the same media that don't work properly on the PS1) works just fine on a PC using RetroArch with BeetlePSX
• It doesn't matter whether I try to run an unmodified image of Chrono Cross (Disc 1 MD5: 3B29EE931DF29F51ECF0817F30E103D7) or one with a PAL patch applied

Bug explanation: Trying to play PAL/NTSC selector patched or trained/cracked games in v1.4.3 returns a "Read Error 9" even though they worked perfectly in earlier versions.

Edit: i had to downgrade to version all the way to v1.1.2 even though i'm pretty sure the games worked fine before in v1.4.1, but they didn't when i tried again.

Bug explanation: Game likes to lock up during loading screens, opening and closing disc tray seems to get it to load (even if the disc is taken out, the game still gets into the stage). Cannot seem to replicate this on a PS1 emulator.
