Another update regarding Sky Odyssey, the latest public beta that the game will run with is r720 and its slightly faster than 0.9.6 final, intro screen flickering and planes hitting invisible walls and what not is still there. Starting at r976 till now it will NOT run at all, with r976 the frame counter will go and say 100% speed, but no picture or sound and pressing buttons does nothing. With revisions after r976 the frame counter and all other info beside it does not show, just says "PCSX2" on the window and sits there (with the DMA does not terminate error spam in console).

So whatever is not letting it run is somewhere between r720 and r976, but iam sure the invisible walls and what not is a different story. Hope this helps narrow down what broke it.
