    The crash could be related to anything; on the surface, its a simple null pointer dereference. s2 is a valid memory address (0x006b05a0 ??), v1 is fetched from there, then (v1+0x0c) is dereferenced; v1 is null, so the memory read (lwc1 instruction) fails.

    I would try to figure out whether the console or the game is at fault.
    What type of game/media is this? Retail/proto/review/debug, pressed/burned, CD/DVD?
    If you have other consoles available, either TEST or retail ones, does it work on them?
    Finally, does your TEST PS2 crash with all PS2 games or just this one?

    This is all I can think of at the moment. Hope some of these questions lead into the right direction.

    It might very well be a laser issue if more games show similar behaviour (hang, crash, take ages to load etc.). Its up to the game on how it reacts when the drive needs more time to read data, or even fails to do so; poorly written games could crash like the one you encountered if a file cannot be read and the game is not prepared to handle the error.

    the error is with ALL DVD games: new never used retail/proto original/copy, but not with PS1 game, they run great.


    I'll be crazy

    Weird, especially that free hd loader crashes. I begin to think (and hope to be wrong :pray:) that you have bad main memory. Could explain why it crashes with regular games, as these use more memory than the PS1 graphics emulation.

    Does it always crash at the same address? On the screen showing the register/code dump, the single line above the disassembly starts with "PC" followed by the address of the faulting instruction. When trying to start the same game multiple times, does it show the same value for PC on each crash? When you try different games, does it show a different value?

    Finally, if the same game always crashes at the same location, is the marked instruction ("-->e46.... LWC1...") the same, too? The relevant information here are the 8 hex characters directly right of the arrow.

    Each game crash always in the same point.

    The screenshot it's only for FIFA 06 Preview and it's always the same, the other games crash without any errorscreen

    Sorry, but I have no further idea what could be causing your problem or how to correct this :shrug:. You could try to exchange the laser/fiddle with the DVD pot just to be sure; or erase the configuration ROM (e.g. disconnect the battery for some time), but I don't know whether that could change anything or damage your system even further.
