Silent Hill Origins Patch?

[rama2]

Despite the rumors, pcsx2 has a pretty high compat generally.
So yea, I also hope it works fine

[swg1251]

The compatibility is actually pretty good yes - Origins is the first game I have tried to play on it that didn't work 100% (after some messing around with plugins and options of course)

[Prafull]

Hi everyone. I purchased another ps2 recently and got some games as well. And one of these games is Silent Hill origins. As we know this game suffers from some really silly bugs (we are still hoping for some fixes). Refraction helped me to make a patch long time ago to make it somewhat playable.

Today I tried this game again and it simple refused to work with newest pcsx2. So I tried a few things and came up with a new patch that should make it playable on current pcsx2.

Game works fine with current Gsdx in software mode (You can try this if you got a beast pc) but it misses lots of stuff in hardware mode (I think I know what's wrong with this and will try to fix it as soon as I install VS).

Therefore I am attaching old versions of gsdx9 and gsdx10. Except from some minor shadow problems these versions seem to work best.

Also I am attaching a memory card save at the first save point (for all those who want to skip the initial useless intro).

Please remember that sounds still don't work and this patch is only for SLUS_217.31 .

I can try to make a patch for other versions too. Feel free to send your elf file to prafull.arjeria@gmail.com

Please report your experience/bugs in this thread.

Thanks.

This new patch definitely works better than all the older ones did for me

I have SLUS_217.31 but a different CRC but after changing the name of the patch to my correct crc it loaded the patch just fine

With this one I can see movies, which have sound, and the menu background screen etc so basically everything except for ingame sound (and some graphical errors) works now

Do you have any info on what causes the sound not to work? Is it something that can be fixed with a patch or would that require more?

Thanks for this patch though, btw

[infernodca]

Thx for patch, it works good (in software mode shadows are ok)
I hope that sound will be work too

[Zzxyzyx]

Thanks for the patch, the game works great now. I hope sound will be added soon.

i tried with the help of this thread to get the game working. nothing works.

So my last question: Is there anybody who can post me his complete configuration of his pcsx2 for running this game? The latest patch i have got but nothing more. only the .ptch file i have extracted to my pcsx dir.

please post which plugins you are definitely use for running this awesome game.

edit: i had always seen the title screen freezed until now. didn`t see more of the game yet ^^

Do you have patches enabled? Make sure you have that enabled (enable patches is checked under the 'misc' menu) and then when you start the game (try in windowed mode so you can see this) the information window should say it loaded a pnach before you start the game

hey, that was quite a good hint. the console window posts just after bios was successfully loaded "xml loader returned an error. trying to load a pnach...
no patch found. resuming execution without a patch (this is NOT an error).
patchnumber: 0

what means THAT? The latest patch listed on this topic i`ve just copied in the dir and in my patches list of pcsx the silent hill origins patch is listed too. what now?

[SeraphiPod]

Enable the patch.
Misc - > Enable Patches.

That should make it better to understand?

It IS already enabled. All the time.
The Patch is in the list so everything should be fine. If it helps: I am german with pal bios version and so on... does this anything matter?

[swg1251]

You might not have the patch named correctly

In the console window, it should say your game CRC somewhere, name your patch to that with a .pnach at the end and put it in the patches directory. So if your CRC was AAAA1234 then name your patch AAAA1234.pnach and then it should actually load the patch instead of saying you failed to locate a pnach

That was my problem at first, my patch's name didn't match the CRC

[Lokeus]

that seems to work, no more error message but before the patch loads there still stands "XML loader returned an error" after this the patch file is correctly loaded after i renamed the patch file.
by the way: do i have to disable movies in some way or something like that?

[xRyudo]

Lokeus, do you have a "default.xml" file in your patch folder?

If not, create it. You can leave it blank.
That's the only thing I can think of that's causing an XML error.

[Squall-Leonhart]

that xml loader error is as ancient as the wall of china.

and that means exactly what? ignorable or is there s simple solution?
by the way: there IS a default.xml without anything edited in the patch folder.
