Spider-Man 3

[Ryudo]

It loads up fine up until where Spider-Man crashes through the window, to start the mission.

I tested it on v1.5.0-dev-1676-g24038f8.

There is no error in the Log Window at all, it just freezes up and does nothing. What's weird is that there's a screenshot on the Wiki where it got beyond this point. So it's possible something in the more recent versions of PCSX2 broke the game? I can't tell what version was used when the person took that screenshot.

According to the compatibility list, this is a known issue

wiki != compatibility list

But yeh, dunno right now. What gamefixes did you try?

Apparently it did work in older(untested on wiki and compatibility list) versions as I found a few comments mentioning it. Check the following thread mentioning it works in v1.2.1: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Spider-Ma...d-skipping

Disable/eject memory cards on pcsx2 and then run the game. Make sure the game doesn't detect any memory cards. If a memory card is detected the game will freeze.
You can use savestates instead.

Versions tested latest git , some 1.3.1 , 1.2.1 , 1.0.0 , 1.1.0 , 0.9.8
The issue is the same on all of them.


Edit: You can also skip the cinematic at the beginning with a memory card enabled and then the game wont freeze as well.

So the issue is related to memory cards? Is the workaround still working in 1.5.0? If so can somebody make a bug report with all the relevant details please?

Thanks

Yeah, I got past the point of freezing in my earlier video by running the game without Memory Cards inserted, using the aforementioned PCSX2 version there as well. Bizarre. How would Memory Cards cause freezes? o_O

Checking to see if it freezes after completing Mission 1 as well. Since that was another point where it would freeze for many people.

[Edit] Sound does that same weird stuff again like in my video randomly just now, but the game still works.

So we got buggy sound, freezes, etc. This game is troublesome. Will make a proper report later if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Perhaps it's what the game loads with and without a memory card.

If the game works without memorycards, it's probably trying to do something with them and we aren't handling it correctly so it's stuck waiting for a response.

I finished Mission 1 just now, and it's stuck on the loading screen. Just infinitely loading. (Memory Cards not inserted).

Nothing shows in the log either.
