[ISSUE][SLUS_202.50] Game "Stuntman" freezes on copyright screen before Infogrames FMV [SMB]

[instinctualjealousy]

• Console Model: SCPH-75001
• Open PS2 Loader revision: 1.0.0 Stable release
• Open PS2 Loader mode: SMB
• Information about affected games (if any): http://redump.org/disc/19090/

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start game with or without compatibility modes over SMB
2. Memory card is loaded, VMC is also loaded correctly
3. Copyright screen appears and it stalls

Screenshots

Additional context
Tried with VMC on and off, as well as PS2 Logo on and off. OPL 0.9.3 official stable is able to run this game for me without any special configuration, however menus are incredibly slow to respond.

My OPL share is on a Linux box with Samba. I believe my configuration is quite good considering the vast majority of games give me no trouble on any version of OPL, official or unofficial. Also sorry about the picture quality, for some reason OSSC scanlines look bad on that copyright screen.

2/8/2021- I have tried every reasonable mode combination, there was one time without compatibility modes I got it to the Infogrames logo before freezing (with the sound frozen on a pitch). Mode 1 makes the game blackscreen, mode 2 doesn't seem to help, mode 4 doesn't seem to help (even though it disables some FMVs), mode 6 doesn't help either.

Can you tryt this game through USB?
It seems that through this device game is able to pass the screen that you posted.

@AKuHAK tomorrow I will try to test this game through SMB with OPL 1875.

EDIT: Unfortunately with OPL 1875 the game freezes before the screenshot in the 1st post:

Same issue here on latest beta (1970) and SMB. I’ve also tried USB and MX4IO

Stuntman [SLUS_202.50 & SLES_502.88]:

OPL Stable 1.1.0 SMB NTSC & PAL - freezes on loading
OPL Stable 1.1.0 USB NTSC - works well, but menu items take a long time to load

OPL Beta 1.2.0 1987 SMB NTSC & PAL - freezes on loading (ISO & ZSO)
OPL Beta 1.2.0 1987 USB NTSC & PAL ISO - works well, but menu items take a long time to load

OPL DB 914 SMB NTSC - works well, but menu items take a long time to load
OPL DB 914 SMB PAL - works well, even menu items

My PS2 model is SCPH-90008. Compatibility modes do not help. I use redump images and don't use PADEMU, VMC, GSM.

Stuntman [SLUS_202.50]:

OPL DB 992 SMB - works well, but menu items take a long time to load
OPL DB 996 SMB - freezes on copyright screen

OPL Beta 1.2.0 2048 SMB ISO - freezes on copyright screen

Stuntman [SLPM_660.19]:

By the way, here there is a issue with the same OPL version.
