During the side scrolling levels, the status bar at the bottom of the screen jumps up and down.

Disable the option of 16 Sprites per Scanline, some games have problem with this option ON.

wezlyons commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the reply. I have tried this but unfortunately the issue still persists.

tjanas commented 3 years ago

Is this a rom or cartridge? If the former, can you confirm that the NES rom with correct NES2.0 header has file checksum CRC32: ce8e8a9c

Mark-VI commented 3 years ago

I have the same issue. I've tested both with a ROM and with an authentic Vice cartridge.

wezlyons commented 3 years ago

I can confirm it is a rom with correct header and file checksum.

tjanas commented 3 years ago

Might be a regression bug, I am still on the previous version, will try to test on that later

wezlyons commented 3 years ago

The exact same issue occurs in Wolverine too.

AbnormalFreak commented 3 years ago

This happens with ROMs for both Flintstones games also (Rescue of Dino & Hoppy and Surprise at Dinosaur Peak) even with 16-sprite option turned off.

tjanas commented 3 years ago

I tested Vice on JB6.5 and there are no issues like this.

I tested Vice on JB6.5 and there are no issues like this.

this is the version of the jailbreak i am using and the same problem mentioned above occurred with me if using the option of 16 sprites per scanline, If it is off it becomes normal

On 6.6 it does this on the real cart or ROM, 16 sprites on or off.

PizzaCube commented 3 years ago

the famicom version of the flintstone games do not have this issue for some reason.

The Famicom version use a different mapper:

On a slightly related note, the rom of the Famicom version required a hack of its NES header for it to work on the original Nt Mini (had to change it from 48 to 33), as documented here, since Kevtris has not fixed any of the outstanding bugs on the original Nt Mini since 2017.

nocmonkey commented 3 years ago

I think this is related, let me know if I should open a separate bug report.

Crystalis (1bd39032) the whole screen jumps when there's dialog box. The dialog box and status bar remains stable. I included a gif of this here

Summer Carnival '92: Recca (d98ec487) the lower status bar jumps

Both are resolved when I set PAL region but both games are NTSC. I'm running JB6.6 firmware

Your Crystalis rom is bad; it should have the following file checksums:

Size: 393232 bytes
CRC32: F8F1865D
SHA256: 9BEC6E35D1174F43A32C2DB2BE972A1627D04F3613EBB4246ADD2C2B4BE0747F

MD5: 7F305A2C8E55806C29BF7CEB036E83BD

I'm guessing you didn't use a rom that matches the Nt Mini Noir HTGDB, or you didn't use the NES 2.0 XML Database and the NES Header Repair Tool Python Script to fix your headers (see the readme).

@PizzaCube please confirm your Vice : Project Doom rom has this file checksum:

nocmonkey commented 3 years ago

Thanks @tjanas! I overlooked those instructions on the readme. I patched both the roms using nes_header_repair.py and nes20db.xml:

crc32: f8f1865d Crystalis (USA).nes 48a42e2f Summer Carnival '92 - Recca (Japan).nes

I can confirm that the jumping issues are still present on both roms.

it is the same and my real carts of the games in this thread do the same thing.

Mark-VI commented 3 years ago

mega man 5

I can confirm that Mega Man 5 does this on all of the stage intro screens. I'm using an original cart, not a ROM. I can provide a video for confirmation if it helps.

PizzaCube commented 3 years ago

Klax tengen version is mega broken the worst of them all. the entire screen is moving

PizzaCube commented 3 years ago

the other game that has this issue is taxan magician

nocmonkey commented 3 years ago

I tested Vice on JB6.5 and there are no issues like this.

I flashed JB6.5 and can also confirm that there are no issues with Crystalis and Recca on this build. The jumping problems look to have been introduced in JB6.6

BobsYurUncle commented 2 years ago

Can confirm a regression, Kickmaster authentic cartridge has a jittery status bar on JB6.6 but not on JB6.5, regardless of dejitter/16-sprite settings.

PizzaCube commented 2 years ago

i just got an ever drive n8 pro and it does this with all the jumpy games with real carts and the n8 pro

nobleEightfold commented 1 year ago

As far as I can tell, all of the US games mentioned here are MMC3, so there could be a regression the PPU A12 address read/write timing, which is snooped by MMC3 to drive its scanline/IRQ counter, which is used commonly for things like drawing status bars at specific parts of the screen.

BaldWookiee commented 1 year ago

Would be nice if Analogue would look into this. It's only been 2 years. =/

I did just get this email from Analogue in response to wondering when the firmware will be updated to address this issue:

At this time, we do not have a specific date or timeframe for when the new firmware will be released for Nt Mini Noir. This issue will be addressed in a future update.

Thank you very much for your continued patience with us.

Best Regards, Analogue Support

tjanas commented 1 year ago

@wezlyons @Mark-VI @PizzaCube @BaldWookiee @AbnormalFreak @BobsYurUncle please re-test your cartridges with the latest official firmware update released today https://www.analogue.co/support/nt-mini-noir/firmware/1.3

BobsYurUncle commented 1 year ago

I retested Kickmaster and Vice Project Doom on the firmware released today.

Kickmaster's status bar appears to be normal however Vice Project Dooms status bar is still jumpy when 16 sprites per-scanline is enabled.

Mark-VI commented 1 year ago

I can confirm that MM5 is fine as is Vice (as long as you don't enable 16 sprites).
