I am trying to play Persona 3 FES with mods and I am able to run both the ISO and the ELF but the mods won't load when I launch. This is what the console says when it launches

the final 2 messages continue repeating a lot longer but you get the point.

You can't load a game from the ELF like that, you need to select the ISO from the CDVD menu, then do "Boot (Fast)" from under the System (or PCSX2) menu


if that doesn't work, show us that log please.

no wonder if your game is broken, delete all the .pnach files from the cheats and cheats_ws folders starting with 94A82AAA

No more error messages, but my none of my mods are working. The tutorial I was using said I needed that pnach to use my mods. Not that the mods were working beforehand though.

Yes your mods are broken, that's why your game broke
