Midnight Club L.A. Remix unplayable: Emulation hangs after completing the first LA Career objective #12218

Open pineapplemachine opened 4 years ago

pineapplemachine commented 4 years ago

I'm running PPSSPP v1.7.0 on Xubuntu 17.08. CPU is an Intel Core i5-5200U CPU @ 2.30GHz. Video card driver is Intel HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2) x86/MMX/SSE2. The system has 8GB RAM and plenty of SSD space.

Emulation is working beautifully in this first game I tried, Midnight Club L.A. Remix, except the game hangs indefinitely on the "Saving to memory card" notification after completing the first race objective in the LA Career mode - or after skipping the save if PPSSPP is set to not have a memory card present. I've switched on and off some emulation settings and haven't seen a change in the behavior. Unfortunately this issue makes the game unplayable, since I can't progress past the first completed objective.

Missing ADB Logcat

pineapplemachine commented 4 years ago

Is that a log or something I should be providing? If so, how can I get ahold of that? Please forgive me, I never used ppsspp before today.

https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/11783#issuecomment-462169917 try that?

@Emulatorer That worked, thank you!

Here is some more information to help reproduce this error:

Firstly the log written by PPSSPP when I ran the emulator, loaded Midnight Club, loaded a save state I made right before encountering the issue, and then exited the emulator shortly after the issue occurred:

Secondly a save state. If I load this and run the game for about six seconds without any inputs, it enters the error state. The audio stops and, as long as I've waited, the screen doesn't ever change:

Wait thats log? I dont know but isnt it too short @hrydgard? Teach me master

Can you try starting fresh without any saves or save states, and try to reproduce without using save states?

It's possible this might be the "Marty McFly" problem: http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=445&pid=106844&highlight=marty#pid106844

I assume this game probably autosaves, so it might be dangerous to use save states at all.

I can confirm this game saves automatically, therefore @unknownbrackets' assumption should be right.

hrydgard commented 1 year ago

If unknown's theory can be confirmed, we might want to add some warnings before using savestates in this game, or something...
