FBA WiiU broken

[gblues]

I'm testing a theory.

[gblues]

I think it has to do with the fact that the enums are changed by inserting a new value in the middle, which causes the "Wii U" enums to shift by 1. So maybe there's something somewhere using the raw enum value (8) instead of the mnemonic MENU_VIDEO_DRIVER_WIIU or FONT_DRIVER_RENDER_WIIU, in a code path only FBA is hitting? 🤷‍♂️

I just tested @gblues build 6f12152 With Metal Slug

Hmmm could it be related to the size of the executable or something ? Did you try building it against a fbalpha core stripped of some drivers (NO_MD=1 NO_PCE=1) ?

[gblues]

Nah, it's not. We had a bad build. I gave @cucholix my build and it worked for him too.

Next step is seeing if it's one enum or the other, hopefullly not both.

[barbudreadmon]

Ok, that's good news ! The fact it only affects the fba core is weird though.

[gblues]

Indeed!

As an update, I've isolated it to the menu driver enum. Re-adding the font driver enum entry did not break it.

[gblues]

or not. Builds from master also work.

I tested with the 1.7.3 release and got a black screen, no DSI error. I then tested with the newest nightly, and it works.

Can anyone having this trouble please re-test with the latest nightly RPX? Because it's working on my system with mslug1.

[cucholix]

It's working with latest nightly, even CPS3, no idea what happened

Can this be closed or is it still ongoing?

[barbudreadmon]

I think you can, while having other issues (speed and big endian), fbalpha doesn't crash anymore on Wii U.
