Having trouble with GTA on chipped PS2 slim console.

[quicksilver384]

Hi folks.

I have been trying to get the original GTA (PSX) to work on my chipped PS2 but it will not.

I have tried both GTA (E) downloads from EP and the game will recognise and start to load but on the loading screen after "Press Start" it crashes.

Has anyone else had this issue??

Thanks.

p.s. My console is the slim SCPH-77008 (PAL) model.

Thanks.

i don't DL from here so i',m assuming the GTA games are redump.org verified, and just stating the obvious hardmodded ps2's can play backup psx cd's on the fly...
IF the mod/laser is working properly.
psxscene is a good place to be on this.
...
make sure you use good media quality, and if you don't have it. get IMGBURN, it's for FREE then install it.
set it to raw/dao, and finalize the disk write session.
set disk write speeds to 8x and go.
if all goes well, and no other factors are jabbing away, should be gold.
1, game rom is verified.
2, media is good quality, ritek shit helps lots.
3, lens assembly on console is a-okay, same for the computer disk writer making psx backups for use on the ps2.
...
good luck!

thanks for the reply.

I know the console, laser, chip ect works perfectly as this is the only game I have came accross that doesnt run. I already use imgburn for the disks. Am I correct in saying (I read this somewhere) that there is a small few games that will not run on modded consoles??


I will have a wee look into psxscene. Thanks

^^ good point, it's very much possible.
look into 'libcrypt', ask about it at psxscene even, it's a copyright protection scheme, and a few psx games have it.
does this hardmod account for libcrypt bypass?
look for settings there.
if available, set it to patch, or enable playback of libcrypt games.
i think there's game image patchers for this, but i really don't know.
others can put out.

I run FMCB and GTA runs just fine with ESR patch.
