God Eater 2 - NPJH50832

[Hykem]

Does the PSP also have a check for such cases when the ELF is missing a section header? Anyway, I tested this game on r3440. JPCSP seemed to have trouble loading decrypted DLC (with the exception of costumes which load fine). In all cases (Ver 1.00, 1.01, 1.10, and 1.20), the music will be played when the game is highlighted on the UMD ISO/CSO Browser. However, the native Atrac3+ decoding has a tough time with the audio from this game. Some audio will be played and then cut off.

Ver 1.00 - By reverting the changes from r3408 (made in r3432), the game can have excessive lighting if one doesn't enable "Save Stencil to Memory (more accurate but slower)." The lighting is better with this option enabled, but not up to par compared to the PSP. JPCSP crashed with an unusual error as I was about to start the first Tutorial Mission. I needed to restart JPCSP in order to progress further into the game. However, one would need to restart JPCSP after they complete a mission or they will suffer the fate of endless loading.

Ver 1.01 - JPCSP will crash shortly after the FMV.

Ver 1.10 - JPCSP will crash with an error shortly after loading the game.

Ver 1.20 - JPCSP will crash with an error shortly after loading the game.

I also have trouble with activating xBRZ on JPCSP. I followed the instructions on the README, but get a Java Error. Attempting to load SAVEDATA created with JPCSP on a PSP is not possible unless MagicSave is activated. The SAVEDATA will be loadable with SFO File: [Type 1/2] and Decrypt: [Type 3]. There is also a problem with loading SAVEDATA for God Eater 2 created by the PSP onto JPCSP. JPCSP will recognize the SAVEDATA, but after selecting it the game attempts to load it and then goes back to the Main Menu.

The PSP ignores empty sections too (it checks if they're null to avoid memory corruption, but some sections may not be necessary depending on the executable).

In log2 from ver 1.00 there are unmapped imports at the end. Did this occur after loading DLC?

In the original log for 1.01, 1.10 and 1.20 the crash is the same as onelight's (a part of the section header is missing, I just need to add a null check).

In the modified logs for 1.01, 1.10 and 1.20, the game is crashing due to ModuleMgrForUser_F2D8D1B4. This is most likely a Java format handling issue occurring in the new PRX type relocation.

The error shown after trying to use xBRZ means it can't find certain OpenGL libraries (since this filter relies on features from it). Most graphic cards' drivers automatically install all of these .dlls, but some of them seem to be missing in your case.
You could try downloading GLEW from http://glew.sourceforge.net/index.html
Just copy glew32.dll into your system32 folder.

The SAVEDATA issue (not being able to load) also occurs in PPSSPP. It appears that this particular game has an extra check (possibly on the PARAM.SFO hashes) and rejects modified data.

Thank you very much for the detailed report.
