Hello world of GBAtemp!
Welcome back to saulfabreg Wii VC, and this awesome world of Wii!
So in the last few days I've also went around of if I can make to work some Sony PlayStation 1 (PS1/PSX/PSone) games which are "broken" or "not compatible" with WiiSX-RX (a port of PCSX-Reloaded / PCSXR for the GameCube, Wii and Wii U, based on WiiSXR) in its compatibility list, by using a method which user @SuperrSonic told in this thread.
The method is basically replacing the unplayed and/or crashing FMV (full-motion video) scenes in .STR file format inside the CD image (ISO/BIN) that WiiSXRX can't play causing the game to crash in the emulator, by using a blank ("empty") STR file made by SuperrSonic, and the PSX-MODE2 command-line tool. (You can find more info of how to use it in this message from this thread.)
By now i only tested with two PSone games i saw they were "not working" on WiiSX-RX because these games crashed when trying to play their FMV scenes, making these unplayable, but by removing their FMV scenes, they worked on WiiSX RX. (these were tested using WiiSX-RX v2.5 by the way)
Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue (NTSC-U)
Croc 2 (NTSC-U)
But not just these games... because I'm also I'm trying to disprove a theory (originally i saw in YouTube) that says that Driver 2 (USA) (Disc 1) (v1.1) actually works on WiiSX RX if you use a modificated BIN using UltraISO (because maybe of its copy-protection by Infogrames?) for remove (delete) the FMV scenes causing the crash. This will be explained in a next blog post.
What do you think about this work for make some games of PS1 work on WiiSX RX by removing their "unplayable" FMV scenes? Let me know in the comments!
