[Beta Testing] Did an SVN change break something?

[John Peterson]

In that case, it's probably best to fix it sooner rather than later, so if you notice that an SVN change break a game that used to work please post it here. If you know a way to reproduce the bug please mention that to. I'll begin with two issues that I'm familiar with:


* Wiimote not working on homebrew games: It used to work in revision 800, then wpad and lwbt would establish a connection with the plugin. But now the HCI negotiation fails halway, I could not figure out why. It would probably have saved some time if someone noticed this right as it stopped working, because now it may take a long time to backtrack the issue and fix it.

* StarFox Assault worked better in older revisions: From around revision 177 I could get past the menus for the first time (it would basically freeze with a 100% CPU load before that) and play the game with only a few infrequent crashes. And the graphical errors went away if I deselected Optimize Quantizers. But now I have seen reports that it's crashing more often and/or have more graphical bugs in newer revisions. The cause of this may be hard to locate because we are talking about infrequent bugs that may not be easiliy reproduceable.


And one issue that is not an issue

* Not an issue: From this thread it looked like the scanning in Metroid Prime 2 used to work, but that picture is just from a pre-recorded video, not from ingame. So the scanning never worked in either Metroid Prime 2 or Metroid Prime 3.

In earlier revisions on x64 builds Starfox Assault was able to get ingame with Dual core enabled, now it just freezes on or before the title screen with dual core enabled.

Also I'll have to check but I think there's other games that were working fine with dual core enabled in earlier revisions but are broken in later revisions.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn work a lot slower
before - 40-60fps . now 6-7fps
OGL gfx probs also noticeble
To be honest one of builds has sound in CG movies as well(yes...its chopy and laggi,but was there)
I try many times to find wich one was , but no success
I dont have only Daco`s builds , and i guess it was one of them

Baten Kaitos Origins-also has souind in CG intro movie (not one before the game ,a when you push and start new game).The strange think is that the movie is the same but only after start new game has a sound

(I know that sound in CG is not important but wont to tell you that as well
in case you was close and missed it)

Yes,both working fine with dual core enabled

Okay. Have you ever gotten sound in the intro movie in Baten Kaitos - Eternal Wings (2003)? I tried to figure out why the sound was missing there.

Animal Crossing City Folk (Wii) between SVN 1590 and 1623 something broke.
After only 3 or 4 minutes after arriving at your town you get a dolphin has stopped working message, it seems to do this whether you nip into buildings or not.
SVN 1765 is the latest I have tried but has the same bug.

"S" key (or shake key) was working on older revisions without too much pain (below rev 1200 I think). Now if you want to make it work, you have to press it at almost the speed of light or it will not work properly. I remember that you said it's a bit tricky to fix this because of the speed of your pc. But I have faith in you

John Peterson wants me to post it in his thread here so I am going for it.

Megaman Network Transmission NTSC USA:

Something wrong with the newer version. The revision 1137 works fine with this game perfectly. The newer version wont let me to play at all. It will show Capcom logo or Akira logo then freezed. Every games I have works fine even Wii but this game is odd! I check it with 1137 rev and works fine again. What's going on ?

He already know. I pm him about it and he said he is look into it and he wants me to post here anyway. The rev 1813 doesn't work for this game anymore. I think starting with 1700 and above is broke. I am not sure but I want to focus on the latest version since it is broke so something's wrong. He is look into it.

EDIT: No errors pop up or anything.. Dont know why. I hope he will look into it because he say in PM.

Okay, now I see. It plays music when it's shown after you start a new game. In what revision was that? I can't get it to play any music with the latest revision.

[MisterMr]

In 1878 Starfox Assault runs better than previous ones I used, the sound hang seems to be tougher to get around this time... I have to open up my CPU's free space to get past it.

Yeah , i tryed a lot of research last days to try to help you and be more specific....... but still not luck ( tryed all SVNs from november-december ,Omega`s,*****lation`s , )
I dont have Daco`s svns only , and seams it was one of them
I PM Daco to tell me where to get them but still not answer

Now for Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Last good SvN is r1546 (30-40fps) , next that i have is r1557(7-8fps) and there game is slower than ever until now
..also i can swear that i heard sound in CGs (speach+music , and yes , it was laggy , chopy but there is ) in one of the builds but still not luck to find it

yes, i am hardcore rpg gamer and i try all builds with these games but one of my hdd is broke and i lost them all (svns not games), now i dl them again from Omega`s,and *****lation archives but not luck with them
Let me know is there a Dacos archives

I was posted this in ZTP but ...
Just notice that recently unlimited JIT in debug mode is back ( 1868 1877), but when gameload and just before push play there is noway to check and uncheck it and emu crash ??

Just tryed 1882 , same as above , and seams worst for FE10
I dont know why but first WII screen (Put On The Tightten.....) not show in this svn and only 2nd with remote is popup ,than game starts as usual but slower ?!!!!!


OMG , Just checked SOUL CALIBUR Legends
Bad things - somewhere on the road we lost CG sound as well.
Good things - CG played more stable , game look a loooot better , frames jump dramatically from 2-3fps do 30fps+
When you start playing sounds work
Good work for thisone team



My Spec
C2D E6300@2,8Ghz + 8800GTS 320Mb
Win XP Sp3 (have some fillings that i was with Sp2 when these things hapened , John ??)
I have plenty of time and will do more research to be more specific
...and yes , these games deserve official treads cuz they are exclusive and unique

Rev 167 - Soulcalibur II playable - Slow and glitchy due my ATI card
Rev 167 - 1879 - Soulcalibur II - Reached menus, keeped looping at the selection screen (no crash, nor freeze... the music still plays however)
Rev 1880 - Soulcalibur II freezes at "Produced by namco"

In earlier versions the produced by namco part, gave the emulator a huge slowdown. From 50 fps to 0.48, but it still was able to progress to the menus. In the latest rev that's not possible anymore, as it just freezes.

I think that's all

Somewhere after Rev 2130 (09-Feb-07), Harvest Moon - Magical Melody went from pretty much perfect to pretty much broken. Intro doesnt show up, Hitting Start where the Menu was supposed to be shows the Logo and the Menu on black. Loading works, but in-game is black again. Entering the inventory is also black with few items shown.

I'll see if I can find the Rev that actually broke it, but I suppose its either one that deals with the OpenGL Plugin or added new Texture formats.

Also, somewhere around that, the top two shoulder buttons (L1, R1) of my PS2 Gamepad ceased working in-game. nJoy 0.3 detects them correctly, but they do not do anything in-game.

[sl1nk3]

there has been some changes on the projections lately, have you tried to switch between them ?
same thing happened to starfox assault, MGS:TS, or even Wind Waker in some sort.
