Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell HD [NPEB00527]

Playable 
Beaten the game from start to finished.  Gameplay FPS is stable.  Night/Heat Visions are graphically working well. OpenAL gives a comfortable and more clearer environment sound effect (raining/thunder/explosion/counter-attack shooting) in all area.

Apparently, OPSAT bug can happen on the real PS3 as well:

I am trying my best to play this game on the latest version of the emulator (0.0.20-13165-0d1c0e72 Alpha) and everything works fine but no matter what I do the "OPSAT" bug persists. 
I tried :
-reinstalling
-with and without a 1.01 patch
-Delete Config.ixx ==> [\dev_hdd0\game\NPEB00527\USRDIR\Data_SC\Save\Default\] on each version.
-Deleting every file in Default individually and together.
-Deleting save files.
Absolutely nothing works. Can anybody help me with this?

I'm having trouble getting this title to work. It seems to just load forever. I've tried deleting the contents in the sav folder multiple times and with different settings but it just seems to be looping. waited over an hour on some attempts. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Update: same issue with the other splintercell titles too , tried giving more folder access / firewall exclusions to no avail.

Final update and potential info for people needing help. I got this working by right clicking the game, opening the cache, deleting those folders and restarting the game. Looks and plays well.
