Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots [BLES00246]

Loading directly self file is the way to go

BUt strage, its like you have no spurs libraries Loaded... Turn off autoload libraries option and use only basic ones from the forum sticky thread.

EDT auto loas libraries do not work always safely yet.

Turning off autoload libraries seems to still produce problems, so I tried the .sprx aproach (see below). It seems to be working a bit better.

Auto load doesn't work with .prx libraries. You're missing the .sprx form of them.

Install them from a PS3UPDAT.PUP firmware update file using the Install firmware option on Tools and try again.

Thanks!

I tried with the latest PS3 Firmware (4.81). The threads don't stop anymore and it seems to be doing something moderately interesting.
Here's the log file (gist) (it's quite big, but since I left it running for a few minutes the output is sometimes repeated).

At first it doesn't seem to be able to mount the disc so it stops for a while, then it resumes and starts the game's main thread. Then I get a black screen and the fps counter shows that the game is "running" at arround 10fps (give or take). Still no title screen, though.

Booting from ELF, SELF and using the "Boot Game" option all seem to produce the same output.

EDIT: setting the interpreter to precise doesn't make a difference either at this point.
