Rayman PAL/NTSC

[Akisto]

I know this game is not going past the Ubisoft logo loaded from PS-IO
But i have original Disc and it won't even load now.
My laser is not broken as it loaded FF6 just fine.
i tried with Rayman 2 as well(its the double game pack) it won't load either.

Does anyone understand why its blocking my discs from working?(they are original)

Does anyone here know how to bypass this copy protection Rayman has?

How are you booting the CD. From the PSIO Menu System?

[Akisto]

yes i am booting it through the PS-IO Menu
Also noted its a PAL PS1 SCPH-5502
the disc is PAL

[Matt]

Are you using Fastboot?

[Akisto]

No i'm not

[Matt]

No i'm not

Okay, I'll look into this.

[Matt]

I've bought a copy of Rayman 2 (PAL) to test. I'll look into it further when it arrives...

[Akisto]

The weird part about all this is that neither will boot up.
If i try Rayman 1 from PS-IO it will crash at the Ubisoft logo
i have not tried Rayman 2 from PS-IO.

If someone can make a anti pirate fix for it i would be very happy.

NTSC copies of rayman one and 2 work fine on this firmware
ARM Firmware: V2.2.240
FPGA Firmware: PATV 31/10/2015
Menu System: V1.2.3

I have not tried the ntsc versions on the newly released firmware that came out today yet.

I can not speak for pal.

[Akisto]

i will test later today! thank you!

I have the same problem. Cant get Rayman (PAL) to run on a 1002 (PU-8 board) with modchip. The NTSC version works, but is black and white. I use a Scart connection through multi a/v out and the CRT have both modes (PAL&NTSC). Dont know what is wrong, but NTSC is black and white . Maybe the cable is composite wired to the scart. Rayman PAL hangs after Ubisoft title screen, but is working fine with epsx emulator.

PS: I am using images (redump) btw.

For me, with the latest firmare (PAL 1002 console)...

Rayman 1 (NTSC) Not working properly (menu glitches, splited screen sometimes, weird things... finally get stuck).
Rayman 1 (PAL) Splited screen at the start and then get stuck in black.
Rayman 2 (PAL) Seems to work OK.

Rayman [PAL] seems to be working fine now from PSIO (booting it via the Menu System) in ARM 2.5.0, FPGA DB12 and Menu System 2.6.0. The version I used was even the EDC copy. However, when booting from the CD-ROM via the Menu System, it still does indeed corrupt the 'Ubisoft' logo. The game then freezes at a blank screen for about 3 minutes. Afterwards, the game eventually does continue to load (this could be because the disc is scratched or damaged and EDC has failed).

The non-EDC version however seems to work fine. We'll close this issue as it's a CD-ROM data corruption issue. Not related to PSIO at all.

Updated to the latest Firmwire etc, it seems to boot the actual disc through PS-IO now however i want to run the NTSC version, it crashes at Ubisoft logo, so does the PAL version of the game through PS-IO as well.

[Matt]

Booting the NTSC version of Rayman from the SD Card on PSIO works.
Booting the PAL (EDC) version of Rayman from the SD Card on PSIO works.
Booting the PAL (non-EDC) version of Rayman from the SD Card on PSIO works.

Booting the NTSC version of Rayman from the CD-ROM via PSIO works.
Booting the PAL (EDC) version of Rayman from the CD-ROM via PSIO doesn't work properly.
Booting the PAL (non-EDC) version of Rayman from the CD-ROM via PSIO works.

However, with that being said and the PAL (EDC) version of the game failing via CD-ROM from PSIO, even if I boot the same disc without PSIO plugged in (IE: I boot it normally), it still freezes for me. I honestly don't think it's related to PSIO since all other games work fine.

I can record to you to show you, that i have the latest firmwire, to show you what happens
I do not have a NTSC version of the game(Original)
The console is PAL.

Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zuVSxSiGxo
It seems that the Menu, PS Logo and Ubisoft screen has some different resolution bugging Amarec out.

Configuration of my firmwires are in it.
It's a PAL console
It can load the PAL disc(from PS-IO)
It won't load the NTSC or the PAL versions from the PS-IO crashes at Ubisoft Logo

[Matt]

Can you upload your ISO's and send me the link so I can test them for you?

[Akisto]

I finally got it to work, i had no understanding that you needed to create a CU2 file for this game since it is a multitrack bin. After googling i finally found a thread about it and made one sorry for my incompetence

[Matt]

Ah, yes, that would do it! Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I overlooked it because all my images were already merged using the 'Systems Console' program
