Digital Devil Saga 1 - Black Screen Part 2

[Downeddragon]

First and foremost the BIOS issue has been resolved. I have made a dump of the BIOS from my PS2 that I have had since I was kid.

So just as before I'm at the event before the final boss and two cut-scenes are supposed to play. I can watch the first one, but while its going to the next one I get a black screen. PCSX2 isn't frozen as I can still enable/disable turbo and even save/load save states.

Just as before I have removed the following line:


Possible old value used in COP2 code. If the game is broken, please report to http://github com/pcsx2/pcsx2.

First and foremost the BIOS issue has been resolved. I have made a dump of the BIOS from my PS2 that I have had since I was kid

can you please post a pic of your PS2 next to a piece of paper stating "Downeddragon - pcsx2 forums - 06/03/2022"
so that i can remove your warning and see if support can be provided too ?

thanks

[Downeddragon]

Yes I can do that. It will be in about 7 hours as I just started my shift at work.

[jesalvein]

no pb. we'll be waiting

[Downeddragon]

Here is the requested photo.
It says I can't post any URLs. I have added spaced in hopes to break the URL.
https ://i.imgur .com/mfOQljd.jpg

[jesalvein]

All done. Please delete those extra bioses, you don't need them anyways
Are you loading from savetates or memcard ?

[Downeddragon]

Awesome thank you so much!
Yes I fully removed them. I am loading from the memory card.

[jesalvein]

tried disabling widescreen hack ?

[Downeddragon]

Yes, I have given that a go unfortunately no dice.

[jesalvein]

does it work on 1.6 ? does it work on latest Wx nightly ?
