EDIT: Actually fixed this myself! Posting this here since I haven't seen this issue anywhere else on this page. The issue is due to a bad ea3-config file: make sure the right version number and the right localhost url are in that file anywhere it appears (in /dev and /prop.) My install looks like someone had a typo in it. I don't think I can host that file directly but this should fix the problem if you've tried everything I have. Also, DO NOT DO FACTORY SETTINGS in the operator mode; it will break your file URLs completely.
Hi all!
While 28 never gave me any issues, I am having the WORST time getting 29 to load with Asphyxia. Wondering if I can run this by you for what I've tried and see if anyone's had the same issues. It simply won't get out of eA maintenance mode on the title screen, and if I force it off then I just get a card error and 'cannot find' errors in the Asphyxia cmd window. Here's what I've got.
Things I've tried (all combinations of the below)
Run with the provided version of Core (1.20f) and the newest available version (1.40d)
Run with three different types of Asphyxia plugins from this post
Run with a fresh reinstall copy multiple times (28 -> patched to 29 "1300" and "1301", game runs perfectly outside of connecting to card)
Defaulted and changed Shop Name to multiple things in service menu
Full reset of service menu settings
Used multiple .bat files (with and without -card0, with all kinds of arguments) and tried just putting the settings directly into spicecfg too
Made a brand new card for trying each of these
Tried the following for Bind in Asphyxia: localhost, 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0
Tried the following for Port in Asphyxia: 8083, 8082 (and turned off SSL), 8080, 8088
Tried the following for Ping IP in Asphyxia 1.40d: localhost, 127.0.0.1
Tried -eamaint 0 (lets me enter card and errors out then), tried with every combo of that, -smartea, and -ea
Tried all different configurations of the bm2dx.dll file (confirmed properly patched)
As far as my log file, I'll send what it looks like in here when I have -eamaint 0, because otherwise you can't really see anything since I can't even TRY a card, but it's just failing to grab the server-side link it seems when I turn maint off and try one. There are really no other big/orange warnings at all, except for a bootstrap.txt one that seems to affect nothing (and that's the same as my 28 install anyway.) And again, the game works 110% perfectly from what I can see outside of that if I just do no card.
The only weird thing I run into is, the first time I run 29 every time I do a fresh install, it gives me a weird coin warning/500 yen warning message. This warning doesn't go away until I go into the service menu and then do a service menu setting reset, but it still lets me continue into a coin game with the warning/still works both with and without the warning. I am absolutely out of ideas as far as where to go now. Attached a bunch of stuff regarding the error; any thoughts? Thanks so much for reading!
