    Default Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban HDD long name issue (save file included)

    Can anyone fix this? Zorlon I saw the game fixes thread(which is closed) and you said you needed a save file. So here it is. The error occurs when it tries to load the next to last section of the last level. This file goes in UDATA, it also creates an empty folder with the same id in TDATA.

    Really sorry but at the moment I will just not have the time to look into this due to work commits

    I'm filling in for my manager at work, or to be exact my manager left so I'm a staff member down and working every single day to try and get the basics done and still not doing great :/

    I will look into this game again though, I do believe I had WIP info or hacks in place to fix this though

    You could use a DVD drive emu though that you can use an ISO of the game with it (Sorry I forgot about it)

    Note that I did upload two variations of mounting software there and presume the second upload was the better one

    It's not the best fix but it makes it playable without resorting to burning, very handy for those that have a broken dvd drive, that is often the first thing to go on the olde xbox

    Glad it is working for you at any rate

    Maybe when I have more time on my hands I will get round to trying to fix this one again, like I said in one of my old fixes threads I found the game hard going for myself to work on it, as in I did not have enough interest in it to play test as I went along to check if any fixes worked or not.

    Why bother with the NTSC-USA version, I believe the UK-PAL version works of HDD and also runs in 720x480P, atleast it does on my UK XBox running in NTSC mode with a component cable.

    The same issues are in both versions

    The game will seem to play fine up until you enter an area that uses long file names that is will not work
