The game still works fine on MX4SIO and HDD with latest 2081 build on my tests so it's an USB-only issue.

Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution [SLUS_206.16]:

OPL Beta 1.2.0 2077 USB - works well (ISO & ZSO) OPL Beta 1.2.0 2078 USB - black screen on startup (ISO & ZSO)

OPL Beta 1.2.0 2081 SMB - works well (ISO & ZSO) OPL Beta 1.2.0 2081 USB - black screen on startup (ISO & ZSO)

My PS2 model is SCPH-90008. Compatibility modes do not help. I use redump images and don't use PADEMU, VMC, GSM.

Feezes after printing the following lines:

  CRI ADX Driver Ver.8.34(Oct 21 2002 15:08:20)
  CRI ADX Driver : Thread Priority = 39
  CRI ADX Driver : SPU CORE Number = 1
  CRI ADX Driver : sceSdInit(SD_INIT_COLD) call.

Faking the "CRI_ADX_Driver" will make the loading continue, but crash in a later moment. Probably becouse of the missing ADX sound driver.

Is there any relation between the USB driver and the SPU core 1 that could cause conflict?

@AKuHAK, @rickgaiser, @uyjulian, @fjtrujy, @israpps, maybe krat0s can help with this and that?

Today's report: USB compatibility is back using Beta 2125.

not directly. but maybe something related to DECKARD?
