Confirmed results

These titles, along with a handful of others, were tested with the new
alarm-driven IGR implementation and Compatibility Mode 6 disabled.

Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Volume 2

  • Serial: SLUS-21723
  • Region/video standard: NTSC
  • Loading method: SMB
  • Passes the previous black-screen location
  • Gameplay works
  • IGR works
  • Successfully returns to the configured exit ELF
  • Confirmed on PCSX2 and real PlayStation 2 hardware

Ratchet & Clank 3

  • Serial: SCUS-97353
  • Region/video standard: NTSC
  • Loading method: SMB
  • Game launches and plays normally
  • IGR works
  • Successfully returns to the configured exit ELF
  • Confirmed on real PlayStation 2 hardware

Ocean Commander

  • Serial: SLES-55047
  • Region/video standard: PAL
  • Loading method: SMB
  • Game launches and plays normally
  • IGR works
  • Successfully returns to the configured exit ELF
  • Confirmed on real PlayStation 2 hardware

These tests provide successful real-hardware coverage of both NTSC and
PAL software.

Further testing requested

Testing would still be useful with:

  • additional libpad and libpad2 titles
  • games that replace or reload their main ELF
  • repeated launch and IGR cycles
  • HDD, USB, MX4SIO and other loading methods
  • additional fat and slim console revisions
  • power-button handling
  • GSM, PS2RD cheats and IGS builds
  • games already known to have unusual IGR behaviour

Might need more testing, there's ratchet and clank 3 SMB fix too. Games that needed mode 6 likely won't anymore with this but haven't thoroughly tested.
