Castlevania Symphony of the Night (USA) - Freeze After Buying "Dracula" Tactic in the Library #217

Closed ebenvenuti closed 1 year ago

ebenvenuti commented 1 year ago

CHD image from Redump running in the most recent version available via update script as of 12/12/2022. Only special core feature enabled was 24-bit colors.

After buying the Dracula Tactics on the library the game runs Richter's initial segment automatically. After a while the game completely froze. I have it captured here (at roughly the correct timestamp already): https://youtu.be/2MMdn_Vgp4Y?t=3630

please share savestate

Castlevania - Symphony of the Night (USA)_2.zip

There you go. Thanks!

RobertPeip commented 1 year ago

This doesn't help, it's already frozen. You might have a savegame before and can reproduce it?

Kuba-J commented 1 year ago

Yes, please share savestate in the library

ebenvenuti commented 1 year ago

That was the only save state I had but I could easily reproduce the freeze again, so here's a save state you can use: Castlevania - Symphony of the Night (USA)_1.zip

All you have to do is go to the library / store -> tactics -> buy Dracula. The game freezes at the same point as before.

Core version is 221119 and only special feature was 24-bit colors.

Thanks!

IMG_20221213_190837 Check your chd file please , works fine for me bin/cue - no issues . I watched whole tactic tutorial with Dracula , works fine. I use default settings , tried with 24bit again without problems.

Kuba-J commented 1 year ago

Sorry i use unstable 20221209 , try this core please

Kuba-J commented 1 year ago

20221119 works fine for me too

RobertPeip commented 1 year ago

Works here, too. Using newest unstable + bin/cue

What is suspisious: for me and in the video of Kuba, the "now loading" screen is normal, while in your video it does spin around. I guess you use some mod?

ebenvenuti commented 1 year ago

You can actually spin the loading screen with the d-pad!

I'll try a different image of the disc and post the results as soon as I can!

Thanks for the support, guys!

ebenvenuti commented 1 year ago

I just tried a bin/cue with the same core build I was using before and it worked perfectly. Either the redump chd image is flawed or something got corrupted on my end.

Thanks for the support... the idea was to report a bug to improve the core but the fault was on me in the end!

RobertPeip commented 1 year ago

No worries, this can happen. I'm glad the reason is found. Thanks for reporting back so fast!
