[ISSUE][SLUS-20069][SCPS-15087] Increase loading time for certain games

[Sadane]

So I'm using OPL+HDD and recently I've got two games with story/unlockables at loading screen. But loading speed is too fast from HDD. Is there a way to increase loading time for certain games? Or maybe all games. Moving to USB works but there is other downsides.

Did you try mode 1?

[Sadane]

No, i will. Thank you.

Still too fast(

There is also DMA mode for HDD: https://web.archive.org/web/20200622004114/https://bitbucket.org/ShaolinAssassin/open-ps2-loader-0.9.3-documentation-project/wiki/game-settings.

@Sadane could you please post here game names and/or links to redump?

@Sadane, you are using the official Network Adapter IDE with an internal IDE HDD?

Because clone adapters, (like the GameStar one for use SATA HDD's), have malfunctions and less compatibility than the original IDE adapter, since they are clones.

Best regards.

Main problem is Bleach - Erabareshi Tamashi. When game loads you can wiggle stick to draw manga page and unlock it in gallery. Other game was the Bouncer where loading screen used to tell backstory of character.

I have official IDE Network Adapter with IDE HDD. No clones or SATA adapters.

@Sadane, strange, the only problems i saw when loading times are too fast was sound related.

Try the games with OPL 0.9.2 and OPL 0.9.3.

With this old OPL versions nobody reported never any problem with the games Bleach and The Bouncer with the internal HDD.

You can try also with HDLoader 0.8c.

Best regards.

Or maybe no one wanted to finish gallery/read backstory. I tried different versions of OPL. I'll try HDLoader 0.8c. Thank you.

Could you, please, test it with those versions: https://github.com/ps2homebrew/Open-PS2-Loader/issues/154#issuecomment-446329509

Thank you very much. Everything works perfect with 0,8 version. Got some gallery unlocks and enough time to read any text at loading screen.
