Ok, using the latest 0.9.8, you can actually get into ESPN NFL 2k5 by setting both VU0 and VU1 to interpreter (you can switch back to recompiler after the SEGA screen), and all in all, the game runs great.
That being said, I do have a freezing issue, and am wondering if its my disk, or if theres still a bug to work out (hence, why I'm not in the bug reporting forum).
During the Chris Berman opening segments, the game will almost always lock up at some point before getting into the game (the last audio segment of about 7 seconds gets repeated). If I manage to get into the game, it runs fine.
Looks a LOT lot a scratched disk in all honesty. I know even my 80GB [PS2 software emulation] PS3 locks up sometimes on this game, so I was wondering if anyone can confirm if its the emulator, or just the disk. If anyone else has the game [and I know some of you do], could you gave a try and see if you have any better luck?
If its the emulator, then I guess its another bug report, and 2k5 has one final bug to overcome.
I'm running GSDX (tried all versions, all DX levels), and already tried Interpreter on the VU's, with no change. Also disabled the audio core (emulate SPU2 only), with no change, which I suspect points to the emulator...
Oh, and one minor emulator note: If for whatever reason, any folder becomes invalid, PCSX2 defaults ALL folders to their initial locations in "My Documents", which is annoying when I'm trying to keep all my emulation related stuff in once place. Its annoying when I have to remember to reconfigure everything, especially if I forget to do so with the savestate directory for a week or two. Might want to do something about that in the next build...other then that, 0.9.8 runs great.
