Thus far I have found only 1 retail title that actually runs (in German). Every other title I try and run comes back with:

#EEKERNEL [TerminalThread] : must be called in an interrupt enabled state.

***Unexpected reply - type=BREAKR result=EXCEPTION
*** Target program stopped. Check the location by dr command.

<and at this point the title has stopped>

Any ideas?

Strangely the only other title that I can seem to get running is from the same company. Other titles all return the same issue. Anyone think this is a user set issue?

What reset parameters do you use?

Actually make that 3 titles that run from the same company and nothing else!

I used the 3 command lines offered up by Port187 so now all I type is startgame / stopgame or debuggame

i.e.
alias startgame='/usr/local/sce/bin/dsreset 2 100'
alias stopgame='/usr/local/sce/bin/dsreset 0 0'
alias debuggame='/usr/local/sce/bin/dsedb -r ebootp 2 -ibootp 100'

Thanks UJ!

Try with 180 instead of 100.

No go I'm afraid - resets but fails to even attempt to load title.

I also get:

# EEKERNEL[SignalSema] : Semaphore maxCount overflow.
# SemaphoreID:14 count:2 maxCount1

*** Unexpected reply - type=BREAKR result=EXCEPTION
*** Target program stopped. Check the location by dr command.

I will try and find at what point the program errors.

I've found 11 retail titles quite happy to work, plus 1 was a BLUE PS2 disc, I thought they didn't work on a PS2 Tool?

I'm absolutely not knowledgeable on any of this, but it somehow appears that the TOOL is catching exceptions - perhaps it's set to some sort of debug mode?

It actually fails to load the same titles when just asked to run titles as is, but certainly in debug mode you can see where the titles fail - hence the messages below.

Yeh 'blue' discs run fine.

with following command no problems with any title I saw so far:
run - dsreset 2 0
stop - dsreset 0 0

be aware that for not master copy TOOL will reply -
"This is not PlayStation 2 disk. XXXX is detected."

I'll try this option and get back to you - many thanks!
