VM version research why not working...

[thc]

I'm just curious as for myself VM version of pcsx2 works fine (however my friend was unable to use it due to spyware). If anybody is unable to use VM version due to "Unable to allocate blabla" message and is willing to cooperate...
a) don't expect instant or easy solution, this is more or less my curiosity, it may result in some hints what DLL is conflicting with PCSX2 on your rig or which program, however also in nothing
b) 64bit version is probably going to solve this problem

1) download process explorer (http://www.scanwith.com/Process_Explorer_download.htm)
2) run PCSX2 VM version and let it running with that error message box
3) run process explorer
4) find PCSX2.exe in it's list and select it (just click on it)
5) ensure view->show lower pane view is checked
6) ensure view->lower pane pane view->DLLs is checked
7) right click on lower pane view column and click "Select Columns..."
8) check all options in dialog named "Select Columns" tab "DLL"
9) File->Save
10) Post resulting file here.

If You are going to identify this by Yourself then
PCSX2 refuses to start when some DLL is loaded in this space 0x18000000-0x58000000 and 0x77FF0000-0x78000000.

EDIT:
Please before posting here check You have XP SP2 and "Lock pages in memory priviledge" in Your account.
Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Local Security policy->Local Policies->User rights assignment->Lock Pages in memory. ensure Your current account has this right.

EDIT:
Include error message which You're getting in messagebox and console error message.

EDIT:
VM version requires SSE2 CPU. so check this also.... (Athlon XP doesn't have SSE2 instruction set, so VM will not run for You)

[meredito]

I did it and no dll uses that space :(

[thc]

Post result file I'll look at it if for example non-starndard DLL is injected.

[meredito]

ok, here it is.

[thc]

Actually in your case it's
advapi32.dll API de base do Windows 32 avançada Microsoft Corporation 5.01.2600.2180 0x77F50000 0xAB000
coz these two memory ranges overlap.
0x77F50000 + 0xAB000 = 77FFB000
0x77FF0000-0x78000000 PCSX2
0x77F50000-0x77FFB000 advapi.dll

no help for this library as it gets loaded here for me too, it's probably OK (as the devs are using it), however I don't get loaded apphelp.dll which is forcing advapi.dll load higher. apphelp is used when You run program in compatibility mode with other windows....

[meredito]

So there is nothing I can do about that? I'm not running any program in compatibilty mode.

[thc]

Are you sure about that ? It's in properties and third tab named compatiblity.

Otherwise there is no more You can do (except researching why You get loaded that DLL) devs could make another build with bit moved PS2MEM_BASE_ which in Your case will probably help.

[meredito]

yep, i'm sure. thanks for all this information tho, i'll google apphelp.dll :)

[Dimens]

Big thanks, thc! I've found that WinGroove driver get in that space. I've disabled this and PCSX2 VM now works!
Thanks! :D

[Tchumas]

Would you look at my result file? Thanks.
I'm using Windows XP Professional SP 2 Brazilian Portuguese Version, and VM version never worked for me.

[kch0pa]

hey thc, can i change PS2MEM_BASE_ in the sourcecode? If yes please tell me where.

[thc]

memory.h header file.

Would you look at my result file? Thanks.
I'm using Windows XP Professional SP 2 Brazilian Portuguese Version, and VM version never worked for me.

OK allmost same thing as Meredito, I'll PM You solution working for him.

[kch0pa]

memory.h header file.



OK allmost same thing as Meredito, I'll PM You solution working for him.

What exactly should i change it too, i have that dll loading just like them, could you pm me a solution?

Thanks.

[luizrd]

in my case the advapi32.dll is allocated in 0x77ff0000 memory block............. why i alter this spece allocation?

look to my pcsx2.exe.txt file..........

sorry for my bad english..........

[Fr6nk3nst31n]

same thing here...
I am no expert, but, i guess that it might have something to do with the localized version o this or co-related dlls.
M$ is somewhat famous to screwup with localazed version of windows.

[thc]

Ok, just as a notice, SVN is not allowed here, solution If You are able to compile in VC2005, just change PS2MEM_BASE_ to 0x18100000 (this is probably true for brazilian windows). Actualy all what I'm sending by PM is link to customized build (1 char changed).

[franciscojsh]

Any progress with win xp portuguese??? Cause pcsx 2 still no starting with VM version.

[Smoky-]

why not unloading dlls with:

Microsoft Windows XP - Regsvr32 (http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/regsvr32.mspx)

?

[thc]

why not unloading dlls with:

Don't know where You get this idea, however program You mentioned is for something very different. registering and unregistering OLE/ActiveX/etc in short DLLs which provide some exported function.

[esbornia]

This is my file, Im having the same problem I guess

[thc]

Yes You have brazilian windows. PM.

[Barius]

thc, if the fix is as simple as changing the base memory location, you should PM refraction to see if it could maybe be changed in the official version...

[thc]

I did PM him week or so ago.

[Vlado]

If you can help.... RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting (http://rapidshare.com/files/8316181/pcsx2.exe.txt.html)

[thc]

these two dlls are not standard and probably conflicting, however this is just guess as file You posted is missing ImageBase and ImageSize (or whatever it's named). If You want correct answer please use whole method described in first post. (and no more rapidshare it took me half-minute to dl)

YzToolBar.dll DockShellHook.dll

[Judgement]

This is my file , pls look at it :)

Well, I don't see your harddisk from here (maybe if You tell me Your IP I can however it would be better to upload it here)

sry , working with this first time :)

[thc]

ntdll.dll 0x77F50000 0xA7000
hmm seems like another language version of XP that can't run PCSX2. PM.

[BlackW]

can you look at my file?

[thc]

Hmm, I think Your VM version works as You have plugins loaded ??. What exactly is problem (this thread is about cannot allocate virtual memory message during startup).

[BlackW]

if i start a game closed the window ?

[Nachbrenner]

@scuall, judgement, blackw
You use Alcohol Starwind to share your disk drives via network.
This is not a good idea when running demanding software like PCSX2
And why do you do that anyway?

[thc]

Hmm, what's Alcohol Starwind ?

[Nachbrenner]

Hmm, what's Alcohol Starwind ?
apparently embedded into some versions of "Alcohol" (not in mine though)
Looks like you can also buy it standalone
:: RocketDivision :: CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD recording, iSCSI and AoE (ATA-over-Ethernet) (http://www.rocketdivision.com/products.html)

Actually i think you shouldn't run PCSX2 on a server at all.
Your clients won't like it to work in slow-motion, when PCSX2 hogs the CPU :rolleyes:

[refraction]

Hmm, what's Alcohol Starwind ?


as nachbrenner said, its part of the AlcoholSoft cd burning suite, its the rootkit which provides the virtual drive, much like daemon tools

[thc]

that part saying PCSX2 shouldn't be run on server is probably adressed to someone else as I don't have "Alcohol" [actualy right now I have alcohol]....

[Nachbrenner]

that part saying PCSX2 shouldn't be run on server is probably adressed to someone else as I don't have "Alcohol" [actualy right now I have alcohol]....

I meant you=anyone

However most services and start programmes installed by commercial apps are simply redundant and can be disabled with MSCONFIG.EXE

[thc]

"I meant you=anyone"
Sounds to me like "We can be just friends" ;)
sort of joke I know it's not good one.

"if i start a game closed the window ?"
well then it's not the case this thread is about, I made it for ppl not able to run PCSX2 due to it's memory address space requirements, not for ppl experiencing it's bugs. ;) Can't help You with this unless Is game You're trying to run in compatibility list ? Do You have CPU supporting SSE2 ? If no, You're out of luck, if yes make thread about it.

[Fabiaosp]

Hi man, I 'm sending my file with the same problem from WinXP Brazil

[thc]

Pm...

[DeathTheSheep]

My VM version crashes right before entering 3D scenes. It just doesn't want to do any 3D with GSdx9.

[thc]

this thread is about different thing (not being able to run VM version at all)
GSdx9 is discontinued (9 months of no development) and doesn't support MTGS mode. Also I see from that log, that You have ZeroGS loaded ;)

[DeathTheSheep]

...hey, I DON'T have ZeroGS selected. Now that's so weird it's criminal.

And it works fine under identical settings in the non-VM build, so I thought that was perdy' relvint, ya see.

[thc]

Well... All plugins are loaded it seems, that's probably way PCSX2 works (just loads all plugins during startup and then use the one selected, or maybe they're loaded when You enter config dialog, :too lazy to investigate: )

[SottaM]

hey thc could you pm me with that costumized build that you got? i just posted a thread about it!

update:
that version worked! want me to upload to a rapidshare/megaupload? []'s
NICEEEEEEEE!

[SybHunter]

Hey, I have the same problem with Windows XP BR,
I'd apreciate the help.

[thc]

update:
that version worked! want me to upload to a rapidshare/megaupload? []'s
NICEEEEEEEE!

Please rather don't. It's already on "it's not forbidden however far from allowed side" what I'm doing here.
Also it's custom build which is not supported on these forums (altho it have 1 char modified and I think it works as good as official).

Hey, I have the same problem with Windows XP BR,
I'd apreciate the help.

[KalTorak]

Hi, can you check my files? I have italian version of XP

[thc]

no idea, can You say what error PCSX2 says ?

[KalTorak]

no idea, can You say what error PCSX2 says ?

cannot allocate mem addresses 0x20000000-0x40000000, err: 487

[thc]

if I'm not blind there is no dll loaded in address range for this error. 487 saying it's used however.
:guess: maybe some antivirus/firewall/spyware allocated memory to inject pcsx2 process and didn't freed after itself, this'll probably not show in pe log.

check these dlls what they're for. raphook.dll, mslbui.dll, psapi.dll (and then rest which are prob starndard)

[KalTorak]

check these dlls what they're for. raphook.dll, mslbui.dll, psapi.dll (and then rest which are prob starndard)

tnx for hints.
any way to view 'hidden' processes?
I checked the dll, raphook is part of ati catalyst, mslbui.dll and psapi part of WinXp and are certified MS

[thc]

well... it's not hidden process, dll should be shown unless it uses more exotic way. it's just using virtualallocex you move dll path string into target process, and then call createremotethread with loadlibrary address and that string as argument. if you don't release that memory after yourself then this memory will not be visible in pe, however not allocatable by pcsx2. (altho usable most likely), also some of those dlls may just alloc vm in such way it prevents pcsx2 run, the more You get rid of the better.

can't think of anything right now, will keep it in head and pm You/post here in few days, too much work now.

[KalTorak]

thc, look what I found looking in memory with process viewer
from 0x3ee8000 there seems to be some occupied memory but nothing occupies it

[thc]

hmm...

[hard way]
depends will show dll "Prefered base" (that's what You want to change) link-time dependencies to other dlls, and other stuff.
just open .exe or .dll link-time dependencies are in tree, list with preffered base column is under that.

Dependency Walker (depends.exe) Home Page (http://www.dependencywalker.com/)

rebase (attachment) will allow You to change "prefered base".

altho note You'll need some other OS to rewrite system files, and it may screw Your system..... (some live CD of any linux can do this), not sure about windows builtin ways to update....

xpsp2res is probably one of those You want to rebase. as to that image loaded on 3ee80000 I have no idea how it's possible it has no name.... will look at it.

EDIT:
attachment doesn't work. rebase is there (www.abstudio.cz/moje/rebase.zip)

[easy way]
however I'm allmost sure I seen some ppl with italian windows running VM here, so Your best bet is uninstalling software which dlls get loaded into PCSX2 process, and have no link-time dependencies.
(the ones I told earlier, +maybe some others not sure)

[wolvie_rs]

I have Windows XP SP2 Br too, with a Athlon 64 3500+, and i can't start the VM application. Tell me to buy more memory....

EDITED: I have 1gb Dual DDR 400Mhz Kingston.

Works great! Thanks THC!
Question: why this happened in a BR (Brazilian) Windows XP?

Thanks again!

[thc]

Ask M$ why every localization is different.

Hi man, I 'm sending my file with the same problem from WinXP Brazil

[MT]

LOL massive number of brazilians around. :p

[MalachiConstant]

I'm having the same problem stateside. My problem is with 0x20000000-0x40000000, as KalTorak had, although I also have the same module running that was throwing off the Brazilian versions. I tried to play around with the source, but I guess VS2005 Express doesn't like the pro-style project files.

Any suggestions?

I should mention I'm on an OEM version of XP Pro SP2. And it is, naturally, a US version.

[thc]

PavSHook.dll 0x50260000 0x3C000 Image 9/26/2006 4:26 PM E:\WINDOWS\system32\PavSHook.dll 0x50260000 156 K 8 K 148 K 148 K

It's part of some Panda software (antivirus??) I think, so a) uninstall, b) rebase it (rebase.exe is somewhere on 3rd page) somewhere to >0x60000000 range.

[MalachiConstant]

Nice...at least it loads up now. Of course, as soon as I try to open an ISO, it gives me an unhandled exception error, but at least I have one problem out of the way.

If only the program would recognize any CDVD plugin other than Linuzappz, I might be able to figure this one out. As it is, well, pcsx2t isn't unbearable.

Thanks, thc!

[thc]

VM and TLB have same plugin requirements AFAIK, so it's little strange (if I understood what You just said)
I don't know how plugins in official release were compiled but You're maybe missing some VC runtime libraries, If You use depends on plugins You'll see what DLLs You need for them (and what DLLs You're missing)
EDIT:
If You did rebase, it uses ImageHlp.dll which I remember was somewhat buggy on 2K, maybe they have problems with it on XP. no other ideas.

[Pender666]

I've tried and dont go. GPF.
Here is my log.

You have plugins loaded - it isn't case of this thread. What's Your problem ?
(I'm starting to feel like hotline technician)

[MalachiConstant]

I didn't want to dump all my technical problems on you, thc. I was just expressing disappointment at the software still failing even after solving the problem. (By the way, I uninstalled Panda. Didn't like it that much anyway.)

And I think I posted the problem in another thread that, for whatever reason, PCSX2 doesn't recognize either Pe.Op.S. or Xeven's CDVD plugins. It's the same for the VM and the TLB versions. I might reload the VC libraries, as you suggested, but even if I get those plugins to work, there's no guarantee the VM version will run. I just figured I might better be able to diagnose the problem if I could try the disc rather than the ISO.

In any case, I'm going to try to take it from here, and if I have any other problems I'll open a new thread so this topic remains...on topic.

Thanks!

[junior_sp]

check my file plz

http://www.ecursed.com/pictures/pcsx2error.jpg
Here's my output from that tool. As you can see this setup is pretty lean.

um that's the error when you can't enable_lock_se or whatever goes into the registry. try redownloading it, and hopefully it prompts you to add it to the registry and logoff/logon.

Edit: Is your OS Windows XP x64 Edition, or Windows XP 64-bit edition? I'm assuming the former, because the 64-bit edition is meant specifically for Itanium 64 processors...

other Edit: there's not much point in running it in XP x64 yet... unless your just planning for the future. the performance is identical right now (for me at least)

hiya THC, i know alot of ppl have been asking you for help and it may be getting annoying for you by now, but id really apprecaite your help, as ive just spent 48 hours trying to set up my pc to dual boot xp and vista especially for pcsx2.
heres my process text file:
or
YouSendIt - File Sharing Transfer Delivery - PC FTP Replacement (http://download.yousendit.com/2CCAE146793AD9CE)
thanks in advance dude

@redworm: If PCSX2 runs but crashes on VMHACK it's most likely game problem.

@infinity:
MSCTF.dll 0x4B3C0000 0x50000
msctfime.ime 0x4DC30000 0x2E000

AFAIK msctfime.ime is loaded if You have input locale Japanese/Chinese (I've seen IME pad also however not sure how to disable it) - try to get rid of it (uninstall locales, or maybe just remove it from input locale). otherwise You're out of luck. MSCTF and most likely other DLLs are related to this.

Got the same problem, 0x20000000-0x40000000; err: 487

Using a Polish localization of winxp.

You're out of luck with 0.9.2

kernel32.dll 0x4F2B0000 0xEE000
ole32.dll 0x4FEC0000 0x126000

You can try to rebase these two (tool to do this is somewhere in this thread) or find out why they're loaded where they're loaded.

Or You can wait for 0.9.4 where

The VM (PCSX2 Virtual Memory Build) issues under Windows XP you have experienced with PCSX2 0.9.2 have been fixed in 0.9.4 thanks to some work by Refraction.

[refraction]

please everybody try the build in the Stickies, hopefully itll fix a majority of the problems here

[rxv]

It was a SE_LOCK_MEMORY message but if I click okay I get another error can't remember what it said but at end was err. 487 So tell me if I need to do the same with that.

[RPGW1ZaRD]

To avoid further confusion I'm closing this thread for now as there's a fix out there that seems to have helped everyone so far with this problem. Thx thc for helping out so many users originally.

For those unable to run VM build download the http://forums.ngemu.com/pcsx2-official-forum/88368-0-9-2-vm-fix.html from here it should make VM build work.

rvx> If this still doesn't solve the problem PM me.
