[GC] Tales of Symphonia - Black screen and 0 FPS after battle?

TheSecondOne · 2 Weeks Ago

Whenever I finish a battle, the screen fades to black and my FPS drops to 0, freezing the game. Sorry to bother, but I've been looking through the other TOS threads without finding a fix for this problem.

My specs are really good and just about every other game works perfectly, it's just this one and it runs perfectly fine until I finish a battle. I'm using Dolphin SVN R 4478 and I've been screwing around with most of the settings without any avail. Tried IL as well.

Can anyone help?

I used to be playing it and it worked nicely, except for music. I'll give it a try again with latest revision.

You're using the PAL or NTSC version? I assume PAL but who knows. If so, cannot test since I have the NTSC one. >_<

I have the Nst as well and It's working great, some times the emu crash when I use a save state (something about memory bug xD) but nothing serious

. Which plugin are you using?

I'm using the NTSC version, and the OpenGL plugin. I tried the Software Renderer plugin, but since it ran the game like a unicycle sprung a leak I never even made it to the title screen.

The weirdest thing is that everything else works perfectly so far (except for the music, but I wouldn't know since I'm listening to Blind Guardian), including save states... Why this one thing wouldn't work is completely beyond me.

Have you tried using the DirectX plugin ?

Hey, thanks! Now it's working! The game wouldn't even start with that plugin before, but after I downloaded a newer revision and changed a few options it started working! I owe ya'll one!

I completed the game with Dolphin from start to finish. I had to alternate between graphics plugins a couple of time but can't remember at which points. Sorry. My avg. speed was 25fps. Yea I know it took a while.
