Problem Emulating Sonic Adventure 2 - Freezing after 60 seconds of emulation

Guru Orion · 3 Weeks Ago

Hi there, For some reason, and i dont know why, My Emulator is freezing after the first 60 seconds or so of emulation in game, and its inexplicable in my eyes. The only modifications ive made to the emulator, is running it at 1366x768 resolution, increasing the audio buffer to 2048, and running Xpadder in the background. is there any way to fix this problem?

i will give any info needed to try and get this figured out.

I apologise for this multiple thread, it was unintentional

Post your PC specs. Also does this happen with just this game?

my PC Specs:

Asus S50sf laptop
Vista home premium 32 bit
4GB ddr2 Ram
Nvidia Geforce GT 220m 1GB
Intel core 2 duo t6500 2.10GHz
Hard disk space free on D Drive - over 100 GB

hope thats dexcriptive enough

From what i can tell it only happens with this game, i tested it out with jet grind radio, sonic adventure 1, and even gauntlet legends and a megaman collection, but those run flawlessly.

I Have also determined its not caused by the plugins.

Well theres nothing wrong with your specs, I can only assume its an emulator bug. Check the keys you have assigned to xpadder dont conflict with any keys that might close the emulator. Also does it still happen if you change the resolution?

yeah, it happens at all resolutions and even when in windowed mode. The disk was rather scratched to hell when i copied it to a bin file, could that be the problem?
and as for the heys, none should conflict at all.

Gareth1977 · 2 Weeks Ago

Yes. Errors or missing sectors in the disc image could very well be the reason.

As far as I remember that bug was fixed at some point. The game should work fine with the latest version.

lulz. no 1.03 is like 2 years old. Look for someone on the doplhin svn thread, who uploads the latest svns. the links are usually in their sigs.
