FM 2007 and FM 2012 have same issue

A debug log from a recent git build of ppsspp would help.

Anything changed here? It could've been affected by that duplicate stack address issue.

In fact, it almost definitely was: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/5821#issuecomment-41281108

This seems to confirm that this isn't a saving issue per se, it's really just some sort of graphical issue. If you recreate the FBO, it works.

We might be missing a memcpy upload.

This one?but each move may trigger this function,it can pass the saving screen,but breaks other things.

Wow. Referenced. I feel special!

For all the help it may be, a similar issue arises when the game attempts to load the virtual pitch for highlights. Commentary doesn't display, and the game stubbornly refuses to refresh the screen back to the standard matchday overview (or whatever screen you were on prior). However, the match is continuing in the background. This problem can be circumvented the same way as the black screen following a save/load. I've managed to play 2-3 seasons thus far on commentary only without it seeming to break anything. Still playing, in fact. I'm not declaring myself an expert on the title, nor do I have much in the way of understanding its coding, but it does seem to function just fine.

I would have to concur with the assessment that some memory function may be missing. I've ripped the UMD directly to ISO, I'm not operating out of a compressed image (though that may be part of the issue of the reports, I don't know how the emulator treats compressed images)

I'm happy to pitch in what information I have and will follow this and contribute the best knowledge I have, though when we start involving hexadecimal, my eyes glaze over. I hope the clarification was in anyway useful to your efforts.

Interesting. Does switching to the pause screen help that area too?

I've never laid eyes upon the game, but from YouTube it seems like it could be largely 2D. So my guess is that it's copying this onto the screen in some way that we aren't detecting properly. It may even be drawing manually, which I hope it isn't.

A good way to verify this would be to try "software rendering" (near the very end of graphics options.) It'll likely be very slow, but if it works, then this is probably indeed the problem.

@daniel229 what types of things break when you try uploading memory to the screen in that function?

Tested with latest build. After save, screen goes black, no crashing just sound is running:

GE Debugger shows anything. DebugLog: ppsspplog.txt

I just re-read what you posted and said about using the Software Render and I tried that and it worked.

That is Great but I just thought it might be nice to have it run without Software Render as have Upscaled Graphics

In order to fix black screen bug on save screen in Football Manager Handheld Series Minimize PPSSPP and return to PPSSPP.

Here's how it works: Record_2020-12-01-12-56-56_2f85358b2198d26f8aca533d68bee793.mp4.zip Record_2020-12-01-12-55-47_2f85358b2198d26f8aca533d68bee793.mp4.zip

Could you try exporting a GE frame dump of the black screen? These help a lot. Just make sure to export it when you see the issue - it's almost like a screenshot. If you make it while the issue isn't happening, it won't help.

See here for instructions - it's not hard and works on Android too: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/wiki/How-to-create-a-frame-dump

You can zip that and then drag and drop it into a reply here.

@TradeDraft Try to use default setting , then use software render with frameskip.

@sum2012 can't see Software as it Render.

I only see Vulkan/OpenGL/Direct3d 9 & 11

[sum2012]

@TradeDraft

[TradeDraft]

Thanks @sum2012

That Fixed the Problem

Not sure why it needs to be in Software Render and Framskipping though

[sum2012]

ppsspp did not get signal to redraw the screen, Software Render always redraw the screen. Let @hrydgard or @unknownbrackets explain better

[averyordinaryguy]

What about Android?
