It is audioTimestampStep

audioTimestampStep = 4180; // For audio play at 44100 Hz (2048 samples / 44100 * mpegTimestampPerSecond == 4180)

[dbz400]

For Mai_Hime_Senretsu, it can go in-game (however it watch CG to the end it still will hang up)

[dbz400]

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 should be on the list (PSMF) #4324

[dbz400]

The following can be cross out now :)

Mai Hime - Senretsu Shin Fuuka Gakuen Gekitoushi The Warriors Obscure The Aftermath (#2203) (MPEG) Dead Head Fred (#5003)

[dbz400]

Just for reference here . For Ore no Dungeon, it got stuck at scePsmfGetEPWithTimestamp() .Whenever it writes the epid back to struct , video hang up.

if (Memory::IsValidAddress(entryAddr)) {
    Memory::WriteStruct(entryAddr, &psmf->EPMap[epid]);
}

[dbz400]

Motorstorm: Arctic Edge video is start working in latest build now :) though still cannot in-game

[dbz400]

Parappa The Rapper should be okay now to playback the CG as below .

[dbz400]

Please add Bust-a-Move Deluxe (MPEG) , video is not working and suppose to playback TAITO logo

[dbz400]

Please add Alien Vs Predator: Requiem #4546

[thedax]

Megaman Maverick Hunter X can be added to the list (https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/3318). It's supposed to play a 4 second long video before the first developer logo appears, but it doesn't, instead hanging on a screen with the text "Accessing" until the user presses start to skip it. The game's other videos play perfectly fine, however. This game falls under the MPEG category.

[unknownbrackets]

Well, I think we want to keep this to games that hang and are therefore unplayable (FF2 isn't on the list either.)

Ore no Dungeon should be okay now , it is not hanging in CLIMAX logo (but wondering any more video after this logo or go striaght to title ? )

[KingPepper]

Would Dynasty Warriors (ULUS10004) be one to add to this issue?, due to its slow playing video's IE...15 Fps, even though the rest of the game runs at 30 Fps.

I normally see the packet size is 512 .This one is 4800 ?

Xyanide: Resurrection stucks at below .Comment out it works again but break others.

if (ctx->mediaengine->IsNoAudioData()) {
    INFO_LOG(ME, "Audio end reach. pts: %i dts: %i", (int)sceAu.pts, (int)ctx->mediaengine->getLastTimeStamp());
    result = PSP_ERROR_MPEG_NO_DATA;
}

[sum2012]

This one make Pacman World 3 ,Obscure The Aftermath and Xyanide: Resurrection happy :) Do this change still break other game?

if (ctx->mediaengine->IsNoAudioData()) {
    INFO_LOG(ME, "Audio end reach. pts: %i dts: %i", (int)sceAu.pts, (int)ctx->mediaengine->getLastTimeStamp());
    if (mpegRingbuffer.packetsFree >= 1020 && mpegRingbuffer.packets == 1024){
        mpegRingbuffer.packetsFree = mpegRingbuffer.packets;
        Memory::WriteStruct(ctx->mpegRingbufferAddr, &mpegRingbuffer);
    }
    else if (mpegRingbuffer.packetsFree !=0)
    result = PSP_ERROR_MPEG_NO_DATA;
}

Tested with few other games with CG playback that we fixed previously and looks good.

Test a bit more, Xyanide: Resurrection crash after in-game. It cannot exit from Audio end reach after video

Kurohyo2 DEMO http://www.pspdemocenter.com/page.php?id=3969

The movie of this game from v0.9.6-260-g0fa3e0b #4965 becomes a black screen on the way, and a game stops it.

Please see recording video. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0By8WbS_hvsesbnBBdDhEenJFLVE&usp=sharing

[dbz400]

Can you try it in framebuffer to memory mode or non-buffered mode? to see if it stills black screen

It probably it is buffered rendering mode issue only.

[dbz400]

When black screen in play psmf , i can see this one . Probably related to BindFramebufferColor ?

42:13:885 user_main W[SCEGE]: GLES\Framebuffer.cpp:820 FBO created from existing depthbuffer as color, 00110000/00110000 and 00088000/00110000 42:13:885 user_main W[SCEGE]: GLES\Framebuffer.cpp:820 FBO created from existing depthbuffer as color, 00110000/00110000 and 00000000/00110000 42:13:885 user_main W[SCEGE]: GLES\Framebuffer.cpp:820 FBO created from existing depthbuffer as color, 00110000/00110000 and 00110000/00110000

Well, there are two issues here. One is that the subtitles are displaying over a black screen. Without looking too hard, I'm guessing it's a dmac/memcpy/blocktransfer sort of issue. It looks vaguely like one and it's drawing to various different framebuffers at the time.

The other is, if that func returns an error, the game hangs after the video. If it fills the struct with some data, then it works. However, it's very clear that on error, it doesn't fill the struct with data (per tests.)

JpcspTrace is dying for some reason, so I can't tell for sure, but I'm using its psmf/libpsmfplayer prxs, and the same psmf calls leading up to the call, and I get an error with all the same parameters. And the struct stays with exactly the same values as before.

It's possible that the struct is on the stack (have not checked yet), and just happens to have the right invalid data in it on the PSP due to syscall funcs writing into stack space, but doesn't in PPSSPP because we don't use the stack. But, not sure.

Edit: on the PSP, the value before the func enters is 0. Unfortunately, JpcspTrace mysteriously dies within the func so I can't tell the return value or if it changed anything. But, in PPSSPP, the value is non zero. So it's a bug in the game most likely. Ugh.

[dbz400]

The "subtitles are displaying over a black screen" works in non-buffered mode somehow but not buffered rendering mode (framebuffer to memory works okay as well)

Already check dmac and blocktransfer , seems to be not using them.

[dbz400]

Xyandie can be go in-game now in latest build bot.

[unknownbrackets]

Maybe due to the audio fix? That's nice. How about Pacman?

-[Unknown]

[dbz400]

Mostly yes. I don't have Pacman 3.Probably need @sum2012 to test it here.

[sum2012]

In think merge #5977 first better.Moreover I am at work

[sum2012]

edit:@raven02 Pacman 3 The intro video part do not have problem in v0.9.8-549-ga5b27b6

[dbz400]

so i think it is fixed/good now for pac-man 3 ?

[sum2012]

Wait somoene test deeper in ppsspp forum

[dbz400]

Meanwhile , just tested Kurohyo 2 again .The black screen issue as mentioned @jack00 is still happening but it is in buffered renedering mode . Non buffered one is prefectly fine.

Whenever subitlte showup , the background will become black

• Non buffered one
• Buffered one
• softgpu

[dbz400]

Framebuffer read mode also correct .

[xsacha]

So most of these issues are resolved now. I'm wondering if it's time to remove USE_FFMPEG?

[hrydgard]

As the 360 port appears to be dead, I would think so. There's no platform that we care about that FFMPEG can't easily be built for.
