Apparently, this game is now playable despite the lack of sceMp4 support. Surely, the videos are not visible.

Here's a list of games that use sceMp4 (per reporting, may be incomplete): http://report.ppsspp.org/logs/kind/132 (some look questionable. I don't think FF3 uses sceMp4.)

Can anyone note any games in that list which currently do not even start up? Just to help align what to test and the pros/cons of potential changes.

I don't think I have any games that use sceMp4. Does anyone know of any demos that use it (possibly demos of the games in that list)?

using ppsspp 1.1.1 it is playable but the videos don't show

We needed to implement scemp4 via ffmpeg

scemp4 plays mp4 videos, mp4 videos can be played any media players even built-in media players for Android devices and Windows Media Player can play mp4 videos.

According to my log at the bottom of my issue, the official STRATEGY GUIDE for LocoRoco seems to use scemp4

Digital Comics also uses sceMp4 to play custom music.

I've compiled a list of affected games so we have them all in the same place:
