[BUG]: Zero 4 Champ Series Drift Champ Regression

[Asics989]

Describe the Bug

Hi,

I am trying to play Zero 4 Champ Series - Drift Champ on the latest nightly build v2.7.341, but so far the second chapter in story mode has hanged. Somehow when I tried to apply the patch, it says "No Cheats or Patches are found / enabled after booting up the game. Here is the log attached below to show how it happened. It seems there are two different CRCs here.

Reproduction Steps

1. Start up PCSX2
2. Load up Zero 4 Champ - Drift Champ
3. Play story mode on Chapter 2
4. It hangs

I tried editing the GameIndex.yaml file, but the bug still occurs. I think the CRC needs to be fixed somehow.

Expected Behavior

It shouldn't hang.

did you try disabling your cheats?

[Asics989]

Now I have. It still hangs. I already remove the cheat file as well.

The game needs a patch to pass second chapter and it's already included in the db so it should work but looks like the patch is not getting applied? You said it's a regression. Can you check which was the last version where it worked? And did you try renaming the patch according to the second crc that you mentioned? I will have a look at this later today.

Changing the pnach file name to FF8DD954 seems to work. I will discuss about this and post more details later. I believe @Goatman13 can fix some of the problems with this game.

Now it works. It turns out I have to make multiple pnach files to get it working. It randomizes the CRC every time the game loads.
