VIce: Project Doom - ROM will not load if 2nd controller is plugged in #4

Closed Dochartaigh closed 3 years ago

Dochartaigh commented 3 years ago

I have two 8BitDo N30 2.4g retro receivers plugged into my NT Mini Noir (in Player 1 and 2). Only Player 1 controller is actually on (player 2 is off). The game fails to load properly and loads to a screen which says "Stage Select" (although it seems to be an audio test of some sort).

If I unplug Player 2's retro receiver and re-load the game from the Noir's menu it will load normally. If I plug back in the Player 2 Retro Receiver the Noir locks up and needs to be power cycled to get back up and running (controllers are supposed to be hotswapable while it's on).

Tried with today's jailbreak firmware with the ROM's on a SD card, and through a Krikzz N8 Pro Everdrive cartridge as well.

The ROM is from a SmokeMonster set which I believe is using No-Intro files. Filename is "Vice - Project Doom (USA).nes". Don't have clrmamepro or similar setup currently to get the databases MD5 to match it up, but when I run it from my file I get MD5 checksum of 70edfbe6dc959737199cfb803703a734. This matches a couple hits for this game and the No-Intro set I found online. About 30 other games have played perfect so far. I took a video of this strangeness if you happen to need it. Can upload the exact ROM too if that's allowed.

I just tested this game on the original Nt Mini with two original wired NES controllers plugged in and it worked fine.

Must be something with the new Noir version with it's new FPGA then. I also just tried with 2x wired original controllers (plugged in before even turning the Noir on) and it gives me the same issue. Also tried with a 2.4g plugged into player 1, and a real wired controller in player 2 and same issue.

Contacted OP and verified MD5 on file being used for Vice Project Doom. Cannot replicate on NT Mini V2 with the JB firmware. Works fine on mine. Also works fine loaded through N8 Pro. Tried a variety of controllers plugged into 2nd player port including 2.4 and BT Retro Receivers and regular NES controller.

If this helps, another tested this same game and it works on BOTH his jailbroken Noir, AND his N8 Pro with BOTH controllers plugged in. His MD5 hash for the game is identical to mine. Here's a video I made when I first experienced this issue:

I'm going to reinstall the original Noir 1.0 firmware and try it again, then reinstall the jailbreak firmware too and do the same. EDIT tried this, same issue. Have videos if needed.

I'm now thinking my Noir has a hardware issue. Anything I can look into besides that? Why I say this might be a hardware issue is my controller ports seem to be WAY looser than some peoples are (a LOT are also saying theirs are way too loose like mine are though): https://youtu.be/vSISY8WJAVc

Had another weird issue dealing with the controller ports (with the Vice rom issue this makes it 3x issues in regards to these ports...) is how a controller will work in port one, but that SAME EXACT controller will not work in port two... https://youtu.be/KlxCrCr9-YU

(sorry for all the links... just trying to get some advice on what to try next... this is a $500 piece of hardware after all...).

Same behavior happens on the Japanese version of this game named Gun-Dec, on an original cart. On jailbreak firmware 6.2 with two controllers plugged into mini v2 noir.

Dochartaigh commented 3 years ago

Info updated on #19 (issue with controller compatibility processing/passthrough mode)

tjanas commented 3 years ago

Please retest with latest firmware v6.5

When using the rom, it is now working correctly for me. I don't own the original so can't test.

@thedrdodo Can you try your cart with the v6.5 firmware?

thedrdodo commented 3 years ago

Can confirm gun-dec cart works correctly on 6.5 now @tjanas

@Dochartaigh can you please confirm the issue is fixed for you too?

Dochartaigh commented 3 years ago

@Dochartaigh can you please confirm the issue is fixed for you too?

Just had a minute to load the new firmware - confirmed working on my end. Thank you!
