Soul Reaver ingame problem

[eyepopper776]

I tried Soul Reaver, and it doesn't work. :D (Otherwise I wouldn't make this thread). It checks bios date during boot(WTF!?), movies look fine, it gets in the menu and then. POOF!
First wierd thing is I have to press either "start" or "C-button" to confirm (instead of "start" or "X" like in chankast and other games on null DC).

Now, when I hit "Start a New Game" it says "A VMU with at least 50 empty blocks is required for saving the game will continue but saving will not be possible." Well I can move over "yes" and "no", but I can't go ingame. That's it.

PS:Yes, I tried with no VMUs, 1 VMU, 2 VMUs and a partially filled VMU. Nosound, nullAICA, chankast's AICA, CP pass enabled, CP pass disabled, HLE boot, normal boot, and Start.

Untick the CP pass on nullDC options , its not compatable with SR.Read the readme too ;)

I had already done that... anything else?

No you didn't. (you didn't read the readme as razi told you). Delete your flash file (dc_flash_wb.bin) and try the game again.

Oh! Heaven! I DID READ THE README, third thing after unpacking and placing the bios! Why the F-WORD did I even ask for help in the first place?

If you're asked to set the date and time then the flash file is corrupted. The emulator itself does that sometimes to dc_flash_wb.bin. If deleting this file makes no difference then the initial dc_flash.bin you provided is already messed up.

In short, delete both dc_flash_wb.bin and dc_flash.bin and get a clean dc_flash.bin file. This will fix the date and time issue and most likely the Soul Reaver issue too.
