That's specific to DW. the issue I was speaking of revolves about MR3/4 whenever the changes were made to the way pcsx2 reads cDVDs it broke disc swap to PSX games for these games.
Resolved: [Bug Report] PCSX2 swap disc broken

Well, since both issues are related to something going wrong when swapping disc, it's possible that the issues are related and that fixing one will also fix the other.
BTW, is there any PS2 disc swapping game where the swap DOES work well in PCSX2? Or does swap just never work in any game?

I don't know of any. IIRC in the Xenosaga games we get around it since the game allows you to save before changing discs, so then we boot with disc 2 and load the save. I'm not completely sure though, would have to check.

So which is broken? Loading a PS1 game? or reading a PS1 disc? (07-10-2014, 08:16 AM)Saiki Wrote: Version tested: So this means 5128 works, and 5919 doesn't, right? But it's hard to find the bug with this range because between those revisions there are almost 2.5 years. Could you please try to narrow it down and find the FIRST version where it's broken (so we can check which code changed at this revision, and that's the bug probably)? You can find historic svn builds here, and they go even earlier than 5128, so I think it should be possible to find the first broken version. So try r5500 (or there about), if it works, try r5700. If 5500 is already broken, try 5300, etc. Like, try to split your range roughly at the middle on each revision you test.

(IE to generate monster data) As for what revision broke it, I can check backwards, I should have most of my old SVNs still (from 0.9.9-1.2.0) edit: This code added at r5886 is the cause, I'm 99% sure, as r5873 (I downloaded r5885) works perfectly /trunk/pcsx2/CDVD/CDVD.cpp Code: 501 edit: Code: s32 cdvdCtrlTrayClose()
update:
(the devcon writes were for testing purposes) Code: s32 cdvdCtrlTrayClose()
Saiki, great!
![]() Just to summarize this thread so far: 1. Current PCSX2 can't swap to PSX CDs. It has worked in the past but it's now broken. 2. Saiki found out that it got broken in r5886, and he thinks that the code he posted on comment 17 fixes it, but not sure if it breaks anything else. 3. This does NOT fix the issue of PS2 DVDs - only of PSX CDs. 4. Saiki thinks he has an approach to also fix the PS2 DVDs bug, but no code to show yet.

I've been working with Saiki on this, so I'll comment.
1 - Yes 2 - It fixes it, but we don't know if it breaks anything else 3 - Correct 4 - We have an idea of what's going wrong, but not code to fix. Saiki can explain it better. Basically "something" isn't being properly updated when discs swap. We know this because of the fact that disc swapping doesn't work, and swapping to a DVD in Monster Rancher 3 always produces a "mochi" where different DVDs on PS2 produce different monsters. What produces a "mochi" on PS2? The Monster Rancher 3 DVD itself. So this is the evidence that something is not getting updated. ![]() Gaming Rig: Intel i7 6700k @ 4.8Ghz | GTX 1070 TI | 32GB RAM | 960GB(480GB+480GB RAID0) SSD | 2x 1TB HDD
2: 99% sure it breaks nothing, because removing the check altogether reproduces the old result. (the same as the fix I posted)
4: Saiki is explaining it in irc ![]() |
