Emulator

Disable panic handlers. It's not a real fix. but I suppose it may do for now as it
worked for me with a similar error message.

I tried the "Disable panic handlers" method. Now there is no error message but the
game get stuck in loading something (I know that from the blinking symbol in the
game), and never starts. I think it is trying to load something from the unknown
device "/dev/mload".

with this rev you can to play Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands NTSC
popDolphin_Win32_r4525 now im playing this game ist good

Comfirmed to work on R4598 x64

this my vedeo of youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D40F2ftBGJM

The forum has a newer compiled version that runs the game. The problem is in the way
unknown devices are handled in file WII_IPC_HLE.cpp.

The version that works has a certain part removed (not appropriate but it works). The
part that is removed is
/*
if (DeviceName.find("/dev/") != std::string::npos)
{
ERROR_LOG(WII_IPC_FILEIO, "Unknown device: %s", DeviceName.c_str());
PanicAlert("Unknown device: %s\n\nMaybe you can continue to play or maybe the game
will freeze.", DeviceName.c_str());

pDevice = AccessDeviceByID(GetDeviceIDByName(std::string("Unknown_Device")));
CmdSuccess = pDevice->Open(_Address, Mode);
}
else*/

The game opens two unknown devices: /dev/mload & /dev/usb2
Not sure if it opens others.

Unfortunately I have the same issue on Dolphin R5461 x64 with both PAL and NSTC versions.

Can confirm not working on R5523 x64 on Windows 7 x64, just stays on the loading
screen doing nothing.

Hi, I noticed that the games opens another device which I was unable to capture before.

It is near the middle of the game.

So this brings the total number of unknown devices to 3:
/dev/mload & /dev/usb2 & /dev/sdio/sdhc

what kinds of devices would this game want to use, anyway? O_o there's not even balance board or Motion+ option shrug

/dev/mload, /dev/usb2 and /dev/sdio/sdhc are all custom modules used in one of the wanky IOS's used for warez loading on the wii, this game is basically checking for pirated IOS's.
