Quick summary

app stuck when launching ps3 interface bios

Details

when trying to launch the ps3 interface bios (and sometimes games either) the app is always stuck at linking ppu modules file 119 of 119 and module 64 of 366 and the log just saying this: "S SPU: SPU Runtime: Built the interpreter." I'm currently using the latest version of the app release till now the log file is attached

Can you make this a regression report instead of a bug report? As in working here https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3-binaries-win/releases/download/build-1c8f1b2c27d578acee3020d2caba542dc1dc50df/rpcs3-v0.0.29-15587-1c8f1b2c_win64.7z Not working here https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3-binaries-win/releases/download/build-6dcdf6ec7607458dde1d8ae2db820fd3ac01a703/rpcs3-v0.0.29-15598-6dcdf6ec_win64.7z But which specific 1? The not working I mentioned is when I started seeing the issue myself but I went to do regression testing with clean folders and got it to work. So is the issue consistent or only occurs sometimes?

Hi I also have this problem. I didn't try to launch bios but I was trying to launch games. All that I tested hang on SPU Runtime: Built the interpreter. AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor 32Gb of ram Nvidia 3060 Ti Also Windows 11 (same version as medhi have)

Which games? Can you provide logs for those too? It'll help in diagnosing and resolving the issue.

I'm on 15608 and 100% I can reproduce what the OP says. However, disabling PPU/SPU Precompilation allows me to boot the vsh.

@Darkhost1999 I always start from clean cache. Tested these games and they all failed to boot. What is funny it seems that compilation is processing to all_modules - 2 and then hangs.

So I found workaround. It seems that if I load a game and allow it to compile till it hangs on compilation and then close emulator and load the same game it will start to boot up. Also after doing workaround once all other games start to work. It seems like there is a problem with compilation of common modules?

Retest on latest master

[woj1993]

It seems to help. Tomorrow I will test it for every game but right now it started 1 problematic game from clean cache.

Edit: I tested the games I mentioned before and PS3 interface (bios) and for me they are working on latest master (while booting from clean cache)

Assuming fixed, based on the last comment
