Boots fine with and without MIDI support on Windows (I tried internal MT32). Totally default for other settings. Maybe the problem is in your host system rather than DOSBox-X considering your other unsolved issues.

Edit: No problem on ArchLinux seraphita_archlinux

human222 commented 6 months ago

I've had crashing and MIDI issues on Debian as well, but good to know that it works for you.

maron2000 commented 6 months ago

Tried timidity via alsa, and works fine. Edge still freezes though.

I made a small discovery. The game will only work if I boot an HDI image and set the CPU core option to simple. This trick doesn't work with DOSBox-X DOS. Also while booting the HDI image with the CPU core set to auto/normal, the terminal will spam this as DOSBox-X is crashing:

Please try again with the latest commit, a mistake was made while implementing some experimental ACPI emulation that marked all RAM as non-code that made dynamic core unhappy.

human222 commented 6 months ago

With the latest commit, the HDI appears to work perfectly with all core options except full core. With full core, I get stuck at this screen: Screenshot from 2024-03-13 17-25-06 And it spams this message: LOG: PC-98 INT 1Bh unknown SCSI BIOS call AX=0FA0 BX=0000 CX=0007 DX=0101 SI=0DDF DI=0529 DS=0060 ES=07FE

Running the game from DOSBox-X DOS still results in a crash regardless of core option.

maron2000 commented 6 months ago

So strange that you have to boot the image. From my screenshots you can see that they are all launched from native DOSBox-X.

I just did some experimenting. Here is the menu.bat file:

CLS
ECHO   Seiyoku Gakuen Seraphita
ECHO   ------------------------
ECHO   1. FM Music
ECHO   2. GS MIDI Music
ECHO.
ECHO   3. Quit
ECHO   ------------------------
ECHO.
:START
BATKEY 0 [1,2,3]?
IF ERRORLEVEL 9 GOTO :START
IF ERRORLEVEL 8 GOTO :START
IF ERRORLEVEL 7 GOTO :START
IF ERRORLEVEL 6 GOTO :START
IF ERRORLEVEL 5 GOTO :START
IF ERRORLEVEL 4 GOTO :START
IF ERRORLEVEL 3 GOTO :EXIT
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO :OP2
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO :OP1
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO :START

:OP1
CD SP
SP
GOTO EXIT

:OP2
CD SP
SPM
GOTO EXIT

:EXIT
ECHO.

So the bat file implements a menu system where the user can select between soundtracks; FM and GS MIDI. DOSBox-X DOS doesn't seem to like the :START line in particular.

If I CD into the SP directory and run SP or SPM manually, the game will run.

maron2000 commented 5 months ago

Absolutely no problem on Windows, 2024.03.01 RELEASE. Added @echo off to your menu.bat, just to suppress unneeded displays.
