Comments:<br />
Situation got a bit better - it wents past the first loading and shows "Checking memory card" screen but hangs with a black screen after it. The reason appears to be EE since it shows crapload of these strings:<br />
<blockquote><cite>Quote:</cite>Vif1: Unknown VifCmd! [ae]<br />
(EE pc:001F5824) TLB Miss, addr=0x1614 [store]</blockquote>
If you switch EE mode to Interpreter then after "Checking Memory Card" the game will show the first frame of EA logo FMV and then PCSX2 will crash with assertion failure showing the following:<br />
<blockquote><cite>Quote:</cite>..\..\x86\newVif_Dynarec.cpp(181) : assertion failed:<br />
Function: VifUnpackSSE_Dynarec::ModUnpack<br />
Thread: EE Core<br />

Not sure it FMV movies are what makes the game crash.<br />
<br />
"Checking Memory Card" screen used to be broken with the console saying something about "microVU1 illegal opcode" but I guess it has been fixed now.<br />

I've managed to get into the main menu by enabling "Skip MPEG hack" during "Checking Memory Card" screen. But the game freezes during loading after I select "New Game".

Funny, if you start the game with the halved base framerate (25 fps for PAL) then it will show intro movies and then crash. PCSX2 is so unpredictable.

Problem is still the same as described here. However I was unable to get in the game menu using the "Skip MPEG hack" like Nik1895 suggested, instead I got this:<br />

<br />
Also when trying the SLUS_205.76;1 version of the game I immediately got the assertion failure when getting to the intro (only recommended hacks enabled), I attached a log for it.

The PS3 emu has issues with this game as well. That's all I know <img src="images/DarkTheme/smilies/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Tongue" title="Tongue" />

1.2.1 (r5875), no changes since my last report. It still freezes after the "Checking Memory Card" screen while the console shows lots of "TLB Miss" and "Unknown VifCmd" errors.

Bugs:<br />
Game will not go past memory check on default emulator settings. If SuperVU legacy is used, the game can progress to the menus and will work correctly up until that point.<br />
Any attempt to play the game will hang the emulator in a loop, repeating the same error every few seconds:<br />
<br />
padman: DMA Busy ID = 26dc0002 ret = 0<br />
SB_STAT = f0000102<br />
<br />
The VifCmd errors that appear when running the game do not seem to be causing any problems during the intro, and there are no more TLB misses reported. Using the SuperVU however seems to reduce the size of the visible screen, leaving white garbage on the space to the right and bottom of the window.<br />

Reducing base framerate in pcsx2_vm.ini to 25 appears to help this game's stability, e.g. this allows me to reliably get to the main menu. Same goes for Shark Tale: <a href="http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Shark-Tale-SLES-52536-E?pid=372106#pid372106" target="_blank">http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Shark-Tal...#pid372106</a>

I don't know how you guys did it but I'm still unable to get past the intros (even tried it with latest GIT revision).<br />
<br />
However Niks suggestion makes at least the intro videos play (black screen after the WB logo) which it didn't do before.

Damnit, I wanted to play this game because my PS2 rejects it.

Not sure if it'll help anything but I uploaded a savestate where I managed to get to the menu -> <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?9igmf0fat9v0h8k" target="_blank">http://www.mediafire.com/?9igmf0fat9v0h8k</a><br />
One is for the german PAL version (which I own) and the other for the english PAL version, both should work for 1.2.1 and the <a href="https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/commit/cee80eb5f45f278c324bfd7ff28783169ab5da9a" target="_blank">latest git revision</a><br />
<br />
However if you dont want an instant freeze upon loading you should manually set the PAL framerate to 25.0 fps in PCSX2_vm.ini (like Nik1895 suggested), though it seems that in 1.2.1 it even works with just enabling the EE timing hack instead.<br />
Also I never got any different results with the superVU Recompiler, not sure why it worked like that for Coornio.<br />
<br />
Accessing the Load and Options menu should work in the latest git revision, when I tried it with 1.2.1 it just froze (I tried multiple times).<br />
Also neither a New Game nor Loading an existing one (which I copied from my original memory card) works.<br />
<br />
I really would like to play this game again someday, it was actually pretty fun...
