fmcb(1.5,1.6)+hdl=bsod on all my V9

[frozen9999]

Naturally 48bit patched..........

TNA, you are totally RIGHT
I have used a SHiTTY 28 bit version of my old patched version of HDL 0.8c...just repatched a new one and all gone fine....

And so we have a confirmed working v9 model with modern FMCB and ESR working fine then. Or rather two of them, as you previously stated that you have two such consoles, and the amount of 'smilies' you used does imply that you're no longer having any problems.

And this leaves us in a rather odd situation:

You apparently have no further problems on your two v9 consoles.
Chad Edward has unique problems on his v9, not as yet confirmed identical to any other.
suloku has some other problems with his v9. (I didn't quite catch the details)

Somehow this doesn't add up right...

Hi dlanor, yes i have no problems on 3 V9 consoles with FMCB 1.7; one is DMS3 chipped, another is Matrix (old model) chipped and the last one is no modded.....all are PAL consoles.

Well, I have no experience with ESR can't confirm if it works fine or not. I've only been using fmcb to lauch hdloader. Many people might not notice the "problem" (on V9+) if they have a disk in the drive, hdl launches games just fine. I never have a disk in the tray because my V9 doesn't read cd or dvd anymore, but if I eject tray before HDL is started, hdl works fine. I have one other V9 that reads cd still, and if the tray is ejected OR I have cd in there, it works also. I was on another site, and saw where someone else was mentioning "a bug" with the FMCB and their V9 with HDL that requires the disk tray ejected to work properly. So I guess it's a known problem...Hard to get the proper feedback from others, though. I guess I should mention again that FMCB does work fine with my V9's, just not HDL when launched from FMCB. Also, HDL does load just fine, but doesn't launch games if there is no disk in the tray...

Hi Chad, i have no problem with HDL 0.8c launched from FMCB (games load with no problems) and i have no disk in tray in all my 3 V9 PAL Consoles like explained before....
My hdl 0.8c is 48bit and V9+ cd in tray fix patched....
Bye

I found this at hdl patch's thread, related to this problem:

v9's are 5000x.

Maybe it is a problem only with NTSC (US) V9's? So you are using the /S option to patch hdl08c? The only one that works for me if I do boot with no disk(for my consoles older than V9) is the /N option. Allthough I have tried every and all combinations of patches for the V9. /S or /N or neither, etc.

That is highly unlikely. This would constitute a previously unknown model difference, (v9.5 ?), which someone should have discovered earlier, as it would be bound to affect some other software too.

Even so, it is very strange that others with the same console model have different results.

The only thing I can think of that would have this effect, so that it makes no difference how you patch the elf with regard to the options that should modify the tray usage, is if your base HDL elf (the one to which you apply the patches) is in fact already patched...

Then it would have no effect whether you include or leave out the "/S" patch option, if that patch has already been applied to the elf you regard as clean and unpatched.

Perhaps frozen9999 could post the elf he uses, so that you can try exactly the same elf that works fine for his v9. If the problem still persists then we have a real puzzler

I currently use and have used the "clean hdloader.elf" available on the hdl thread on this site. I wish there were others with ntsc v9 that could try to use fmcb+ hdl with absolutely no disk in the tray and post results...I've tried it all and it definately won't work for me, and apparently others have the same problem from what I've read on other sites and from page 1 of this thread...Definately puzzling.

I did some tests:

FMCBOOT 1.6
SCPH-50004 unmodified V9 PAL
HDL 0.8b with Stop Disk and Seek patch (used with ps1 exploit)
BSOD when launching images

...BUT...

If I launch Mr. Siir Key launcher:

osdmain.elf -> uLE -> MrSiirKL -> HDL 0.8b

it works without problem. This puzzles me.

osdmain.elf -> uLE -> HDL 0.8b -> BSOD

I will do some more tests later. Obviously I'd like to launch HDL either from FMCBOOT or via ps1 exploit. And I'd like to avoid the 3 steps solution to get to a working HDL.
