Slowly getting there. Graphics are a mess and patch seems to work less than 50% of times. Will try to post a video or something soon.

Patch for Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets [SLUS 20576] (U)

This took lot of time and effort but now it can be considered somewhat reliable. The game seems to be suffering from too many issues at the same time. You will need to enable "ignore dmac writes when it is busy" gamefix and keep most of the speedhacks off.

known bugs:
(1) Lots of errors in log.
(2) Also suffers from dreaded error "gs packet size exceeded vu memory size". Eventually it will lock up at some place.
(3) Intro videos have been skipped. Patch works with videos too but it seems more reliable after skipping videos.
(4) Some flickering corrupt graphics ingame.
(5) Gsdx HW mode got some garbage on right part of screen.

Great work with the Harry Potter patch. Laugh

I'll see if anyone can make a widescreen patch now.

I'm running Spongebob Squarepants The Movie on v1.40 with automatic gamefixes greyed out but checked, and I still get the loading screen error.

Thanks for the Harry Potter-fix. It is very appreciated!

Any update on it, Prafull?

I'll check if it works with the Danish version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in a few weeks Smile
