The digital devil saga remark is interesting.
It had a few fmv not working before the cycle fixes, so both games share the same problem with the IPU it seems.

That is interesting. I recall that the digital devil saga issue was the main reason why I didn't just put the mpeg hack in permanently on.

We're probably due to check the other hacks and see in they are necessary, come to think of it. Trouble is that I don't own most of them...

Well, most are floating point rounding issue workarounds. What's left is this:
- Fatal Frame with the dma exec hack << still needed, and likely a problem in other games, too.

- Erementar Gerad (or whatever :p ) << can't test this, I don't have this game.
