Trying to test a modded version of Persona 3. Obviously, my stock chd file boots fine with the basic widescreen cheats and whatnot, but trying to boot the ELF extracted in order to get the mods to work simply hangs on a black screen. This didn't happen on the other builds, and seems to only happen with the QT builds.

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

I've tried on different backends, including the software renderer to no avail.

i don't think it'll run via Elf File. you seem to run it among other files extracted from iso. thus completely breaking disc layer structure a Ps2 will need.
I don't see why your original persona 3 game doesn't boot though. tried booting it using iso format instead of chd ?
Did you somehow modify it ?

My original CHD boots fine, I was including it for comparisons sake.

I wonder what changed that keeps it from working now. I was trying to avoid having to rebuild the ISO since the game is easier to mod with the ELF extracted.

**jesalvein** · 05-27-2022, 07:45 AM

no idea, and it's probably at the bottom of the todo list (or not at all)
if original games are supported, it's fine for the devs.
