IRC, the main redux.dol was causing a freeze at the loading screen of the very first intro movie. So one could not even reach the first save point to register a save file and thus enabling the Redux features upon reset.

In post #359 I made this summer, I didn't mention the prerequisite of having a save file, but I now think it was the key to make it work.

The freeze on the first intro movie back then was when I didn't exactly knew how to create SFDs so they worked properly with the game, since I did struggle with movie glitches and freezes with cutscenes I specifically modified for Redux.

I have since fixed that and standardized the SFD creation process, alongside the AIX audio too, so that might have been the problem with that specific screen.

Yet, all the tries I did last July were precisely for updating my Redux ISO to the latest version 1.0 you had just released a month prior in June.

I just checked the files on Archives.org and it seems like the Movies directory was updated on 13-Jul-2024, so maybe you made some more modifications to the movie files and I didn't quite had the latest assests as I though if I downloaded them late June. Will try to do some more testing soon about both the DOL and savefile scenarios...

I see.
The dates were close for sure, but to be honest I make changes so often and in such quick haste that I tend to forget exactly what I changed, and the lack of proper documentation in terms of changelogs and such doesn't help haha. At least I documented the conversion processes, which were in dire need of a proper tutorial.

Your testing will be of great help, hopefully we can find a way to have the latest redux.dol playing in a proper ISO on real hardware.

@ShadowOne333

I went to archive.org to download the latest Redux files but found out that if I either click on the 339 files or 209 originals, it opens up a page saying item not available. I know that may be related to the October security breach.

The torrent link seems still functional, but can you confirm that all the torrent files are the same up-to-date/latest versions than those from the regular links? Just to be sure for testing correctly with the latest assets.
