[hdd60311]

Reported form http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=384&pid=41935#pid41935 when run this game it freezes at ACCESS page, press start button can continue it.

[hdd60311]

Could anyone take a look at this?

[unknownbrackets]

Don't have the game, a log at least might help.

So just to clarify, the issue here is that it doesn't pass that screen without you pressing a key, right?

Did this work previously, and stopped working, or it never worked?

-[Unknown]

[hdd60311]

Tested repeatedly and seems this issue is fixed in latest build.

[hdd60311]

Alright this issue is still there in latest build. log : http://www.mediafire.com/download/w8bxbk9qto5nm7s/Mega_Man(2).log

If this worked at one point and was broken again, can you find which build it last worked in and the first build it stopped working in?

-[Unknown]

[scraggles80]

the closest i could get is it worked in ppsspp-v0.8-91 and stopped in ppsspp-v0.8.1

[unknownbrackets]

Hmm, maybe it was video related (sorry forgot to post that) - could be fixed with recent video improvements. Any change here?

I picked up this game recently, and no, it's still "hanging" on accessing until the user presses start, when first booting the game.

Does it play the video through and then stop, or does it never even play the video?

If you mark "sceMpeg.cpp" with the following after the includes:

#undef DEBUG_LOG
#define DEBUG_LOG NOTICE_LOG

And also scePsmf.cpp the same for good measure, is it continuing to call sceMpeg/scePsmf syscalls while hung, or has it stopped?

-[Unknown]

[thedax]

It's supposed to play a 2 or 3 second video and then show the Capcom logo, but it never displays. It hangs on Accessing, and then when the user hits start, it immediately skips to the Capcom logo as if it never happened.

While it's hanging, it doesn't continue to call other mpeg/psmf functions, it seems.

Here's a video that happens to depict the little video it's supposed to show, it's within the first 2-3 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld6L5feOZ_8

[dbz400]

It is working now and video playback ok (You have to press SPACE bar then the Capcom logo will come out .It is funny)

[dbz400]

Tested it on JPCSP as well .Also need to press SPACE then will show up CAPCOM logo and in-game .

[thedax]

Yeah, the other videos work fine, but the video with blue binary numbers before the Capcom logo doesn't play, so the issue isn't resolved.

[dbz400]

I think it is this one "blue binary numbers"

[thedax]

Correct.

[dbz400]

However i still wonder why we need to press SPACE in order to pass on .Not too sure how this do on real PSP ...

[thedax]

Because one of the MPEG functions always returns 1200 something packets remaining, so the game thinks the movie hasn't ended. On the real PSP, the video plays and then the Capcom logo displays. The video can be skipped with start, which is why the game even works on PPSSPP.

[dbz400]

But i did try to press start button , it didn't work .Only keyboard SPACE button let it pass on .

[thedax]

..Space is the emulated PSP's start button by default.

[dbz400]

Oops I see as I keep pressing start button on my xbox 360 device but didnt work

[hrydgard]

Hm, should work the same, check your control mappings.

[dbz400]

I did try this start button on XBOX 360 device , it works okay for other games but not this one .Only SPACE works

[hrydgard]

Huh, that doesn't make much sense..

[dbz400]

I think it is this own game specific issue probably.

[psennermann]

Yes, I confirm that only SPACE on the Keyboard works, the start button mapped on my X360 gamepad doesn't work...

[Ixodid]

Just tried this, pretty weird. When the video gets stuck any keyboard key bound to the start button works fine, as do the on-screen touch controls. Gamepad (XInput or otherwise) buttons will stop responding altogether until the video is skipped with the keyboard. If software rendering is turned on the video will still not play correctly but gamepad controls will keep working.

[unknownbrackets]

I think gamepad buttons don't work possibly because it's not flipping. Does it work correctly in the software renderer (it may be ridiculously slow)?

-[Unknown]

[Ixodid]

Yes, the gamepad buttons work in the software renderer, as my last comment said.

[unknownbrackets]

Oh, sorry, somehow lost that last sentence. So, yeah, that confirms it I think - it's not flipping I guess. I thought I added a cap of skipped frames...

Can someone with this game and a compiler try changing Core/HLE/sceDisplay.cpp:

        // Setting CORE_NEXTFRAME causes a swap.
        // Check first though, might've just quit / been paused.
        if (gpu->FramebufferReallyDirty()) {
            if (coreState == CORE_RUNNING) {
                coreState = CORE_NEXTFRAME;
                gpu->CopyDisplayToOutput();
                actualFlips++;
            }
        }

To:

        // Setting CORE_NEXTFRAME causes a swap.
        // Check first though, might've just quit / been paused.
        if (coreState == CORE_RUNNING) {
            coreState = CORE_NEXTFRAME;
            gpu->CopyDisplayToOutput();
            actualFlips++;
        }

This isn't a good change, I just want to know if that makes it more responsive.

[daniel229]

I tried that change,the FPS is counting and abnormal number 54/6(888.4%)~54/6(889.5%)

[unknownbrackets]

What happens on Android here? Does it accept button presses from controllers there? (without any changes.)

-[Unknown]

[Ixodid]

Without the changes posted above everything works fine on android. You can use either a gamepad or on-screen controls to skip the video.

[unknownbrackets]

5706 should at least make controllers work the same as keyboards.

-[Unknown]

[dbz400]

The start button on xbox360 should be working okay now in latest build

[unknownbrackets]

That does not make this issue fixed, for the record, but at least it's more playable now with a controller.

[daniel229]

IO-minor2 branch makes it hangs later a few frames.But the way,that video sometime does not hang,I see it once while I was testing.

master build

IO-minor2 branch

[daniel229]

0.9.6-576-g7f99564 does not hang,but all videoes are skipped.0.9.6-592-gd4feb77 hangs,but videoes are playback.

[sergiobenrocha2]

It still stucks and becomes unresponsive in git version, ubuntu 14.04 64-bits. The start button tip does not work, and you have to kill ppsspp in system monitor.

[sum2012]

I test no problem v0.9.9.1-1614-g2b0b1a5-windows-amd64 Log: https://gist.github.com/sum2012/fd6503d6a9a2711825c9

[thedax]

With default settings it still hangs on the Accessing screen for me until I press start. What settings are you using?

[sum2012]

I mean that " start button tip does not work," work to me

[sergiobenrocha2]

Default settings (removed ~/.config/ppsspp/), with these cards (with and without using bumblebee):

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208M [GeForce GT 740M] (rev ff)

And it hans on the accessing screen. How press start work for you guys?

It's working now in 1.0.1.

[daniel229]

But,still have to press START button to skip that hanging video.
