9 years ago It's a typical upscaling glitch, since texture scaling doesn't work on it, there's pretty much nothing you can do about it other than playing at x1 res or disabling block transfer and reloading the game from normal save, That will remove the low res 2D texture over 3D character models which is quite ugly and causes this issue, but also makes the celshading effect. Edit: forgot about other solution - you can force "nearest" for texture filtering, it'll also remove the line.

Hey there. For some time now there's something that is bothering me about this game on PPSSPP. Is not a thing that gets in the way of the gameplay (as in you can play fine), but I find it kinda interesting so I wanted to share it with you.
For some time now I have noticed that on the bottom of the game screen there is a line that appears as you can see on the following screenshots:
This happens if you set the window size on x2 size or up with the rendering size set in auto, but I also tried to put the rendering set manual, as in windows size x2 and rendering size 2 which is same window resolution and internal resolution. On the videos the line is more noticeable as you can see on the first screenshot which is from Gatomon's warp digivolve sequence video (or FMV? I don't know which format they are n.nU), while on gameplay the line is seen only at certain positions. I mean when you have the character standing or moving on certain spots, usually when the camera makes a closer look (not full close up but that the characters look big due to the close view from the camera)
The only time that line doesn't appears is if you use de Windows size x1 and rendering size in auto or 1 and even so the line appears on windows size x1 and rendering size auto after you load your save file or start a new game and you see the intro (the characters outside of that small house they took cover from the snow) and you have to move the rendering size or go to full screen and return for that line to desappear (videos included), but it only works for windows size x1
I remember that on a previous issue (the one about the characters outlines that got solved with the block transfer option) this line had to do with the buffer size or something like that.
The line appears on both backends OpenGL and Direct3D9
I thought in open an issue so at least we can have a progress log for it. There's no hurry since it doesn't affects the gameplay at all, but I found interesting that this line appears at the bottom of the game screen. I attached a third screenshot below. This one is from a previous build of PPSSP after the outlines issue got fixed, but it works for this issue. The screenshots above are with the latest PPSSPP build from buildbot.
Thanks in advance :)
Extra info: The line on gameplay (as in when you can move the character) only appears if simulate block transfer is enabled. When this setting is disabled that line doesn't appears for gameplay, but it does appears for videos even with the block transfer setting disabled. This means that we have 2 different issues. One is the line on gameplay which seems to be related to simulate block transfer, and the line on de videos (digivolutions, some scenes, the Adventure anime opening) the game includes. Oddly enough both issues disappear in windows size x1 and rendering size 1 after a few tries. this not being the same for the rest of rendering size and windows sizes.
