New graphical glitches on updated _km_pcsx_rearmed_neon_xtreme

[bolton80]

Step 1: Describe your setup:

• hakchi2 CE version: 3.5.3
• retroarch used (filename): _km_retroarch_175_xtreme
• hmod(s) used by the game you are having problems with (filenames): _km_pcsx_rearmed_neon_xtreme

Step 2: Describe the problem:

• Since updating to the newest release I have found that Micro Machines V3 now has corrupted background graphics on the menu screens. This was never an issue before. I tried replacing the eboot with a new copy in case the file had become corrupted, but it made no difference. I have been using the US eboot (SLUS-00559) all along.

Did you try with /bin/pcsx-standard to see if issue still persists? Thanks for the feedback.

[bolton80]

Hi, Tried that. No change.

[bolton80]

This is what you get on the menu screens now.

[KMFDManic]

You referring to aspect ratio cut-off? Or, graphical glitches?

[bolton80]

Graphical glitches. The backgrounds of the menus are a mess. This was never an issue until the last update (or maybe the one before).

[KMFDManic]

I will post something for you to test with sometime tonight. If it works, will update it into the next Release. Thanks again!

[KMFDManic]

@bolton80 Try this. Replace current ones with these, and reinstall. Let me know if issue still exists, or is gone.

[bolton80]

Hi Kyland. Tested these. The problem is the same.

[KMFDManic]

@bolton80 Try one more test, using PCSX1 instead. /bin/pcsx1

[bolton80]

Same issue with PCSX1. I presume this means it's a Retroarch issue rather than the cores themselves?

[KMFDManic]

@bolton80 it would seem you may have another conflict, as RetroArch and the PCSX Cores, and your testing...point more in that direction. I will give the game a personal test. Usually, from experience, running into graphical glitches on PS1 games can be result of bad rips, bios conflicts, and a few other causes. I will try it out and get back to you. What is the full command line, by the way?

[bolton80]

I've tried it with /bin/pcsx and /bin/pcsx-standard.

I am using the bios from the PSP. It worked fine with those bios until recently.

[KMFDManic]

I mean that it may be another conflict. But, I will give it a test. Being a Micro Machines fan, did you ever play Micro Maniacs? Also, for your own personal knowledge. Micro Machines NES only works properly on Nestopia.

[bolton80]

Never heard of Micro Maniacs. I'll have to Google that now! The Megadrive/Genesis versions of Micro Machines are still my favourites.

[bolton80]

Hi Kyland. I think I've worked it out. If I turn "Enable Interlacing" off, the backgrounds are normal.

[KMFDManic]

Awesome. I was gonna test it this AM. Glad you got it sorted out. That only affects a few games. I believe one of the Ridge Racer games may be the 2nd known instance.

[bolton80]

Hope this info is useful to you. Keep up the good work!

ps. Any chance the o2em core can be fixed so it plays more than just 2 Odyssey2 games?

[KMFDManic]

Videopac+ should work on it, too. Did you get to check out Micro Maniacs?

[bolton80]

Yes, I've added it to my SNES Mini. Looks interesting. I'll be trying it out 2 Player with a friend on Friday night. He's a MM fan too. Thanks for letting me know about it!

I'll check out some Videopac+ games too. I had no idea they worked.

Thanks again.
