Dmc3se messed up title screen background

[Mahir85]

Dmc3se title screen has a black background instead of white.  I've seen screenshots of this game running on pcsx2 and apparently ZeroGS renders the title screen properly with a white background.  I've tried both backends including software mode in gsdx with no luck.  Is zeroGS really the only way of displaying the title screen properly?

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!):

Do you own another PS2 console ?

[Mahir85]

Would a gs dump help?

[jesalvein]

Do you own another PS2 console ?

[Mahir85]

I did at one point. I've owned 3 PS2s throughout its lifespan. But that's irrevelent to the background issue. I'm positive this is a gsdx issue because every walkthrough I've seen of this game being played on this emulator has this issue. Only time I've seen it rendered properly with pcsx2 is with ZeroGS.

[jesalvein]

SO, the JP one is the only one you still own ?

[Mahir85]

No, but I can guarentee you if I reripped the bios from a US PS2, the problem would still persist. I'm trying to post a legitiment issue here.

[jesalvein]

if you say so...
