Unable to load games with latest core and latest RA version #151

Closed PhobosAnomaly666 closed 2 years ago

PhobosAnomaly666 commented 2 years ago

Hello there,

I've upgraded my RA installation after a good year (or more) without touching it, all went fine and I was trying my different systems to see if things were correctly working after this, everything seems fine but I'm struggling with x68000 for some reason: games just do not start anymore.

I've checked other issues reporting the same issues I have (black screen after launch, no music, no picture, nothing loads, I can only display the core menu using F12), nothing helped me to understand what went wrong.

I backed up my old installation just in case, and tried using the old core version that was working, on my updated RA install: it's working with the old one, which is this version:

Latest core downloaded from buildbot, no luck...

I only got three games to use, Akumajou Dracula, Thunder Force II and Downtown Nekketsu, both are setup to load using .m3u files, correctly formated with only file names in it.

Everything's ok with the old core, it's just the new one, for some reason, that doesn't work.

What happened and did I miss something after all these updates ? What could be the reason ?

Thank you for the help !!

There's a bug.

It's up to us to find out when it was introduced so it can be fixed.

See this comment: https://github.com/libretro/px68k-libretro/issues/135#issuecomment-894190575

My old core that works is 4ca8974 13 December 2020. So the problem was introduced since then.

Your core 41db4c7 seems much older?

ToniBC commented 2 years ago

The error is strange, I just tried a game and it does not work, but this error is recent and is not from the core. Apparently the core is badly compiled. If we put the core of version 1.9.11 that has version a34e55f, which is the latest, it works without problems, but if we update it, there it breaks, and it is the same compilation version.

gingerbeardman commented 2 years ago

Any ideas @twinaphex ?

PhobosAnomaly666 commented 2 years ago

Hey ! Sorry for the delay, thanks for your answers so far.

Yes, the core I've been using and working is probably from late 2020 if I'm correct, last time I updated my RA installation before the past week.

At least the problem is not on my side, I hope you'll be able to find a solution for this. I have no technical knowledge but if you may need more informations, I'll do whatever I can !

ToniBC commented 2 years ago

Apparently according to comments in the notes of version 1.9.13, they are adapting things, hopefully the core works again, because I tried the latest version and it still crashes in Windows 10 x64.

ToniBC commented 2 years ago

I put the log in case it helps, but the core still doesn't work.

See 2 comments above yours: https://github.com/libretro/px68k-libretro/issues/151#issuecomment-963365916

ToniBC commented 2 years ago

@twinaphex cleaned up the code and everything related to I/O, but the core is still broken, on PC at least, I don't know if the same thing happens on all devices, that would have to be confirmed, but on PC since 1.9.11, the core does not load any game, but it does load the core.

That is, updating the cores and Retroarch, loading only the core, if we start it from the menu, face correctly, but then you can't load any game because it crashed.

Adancete23 commented 2 years ago

Hello!

Any news about this?.

Still not working

Thanks!.

gingerbeardman commented 2 years ago

@Adancete23 you'll need to use an older version of the core, they work and there are no changes that required a new one to be used.

I've posted an old core for macOS somewhere in these issues.

Adancete23 commented 2 years ago

Hello!

Yes, well Im using Windows and I tried to use an old version of this core, but its not working for me.

Thanks anyway.

ToniBC commented 2 years ago

It works for everyone, you just have to download the 1.9.11 cores from the buildbot and replace only the px68k core, then go into Retroarch and protect it and create a backup for the future and nothing else.

Adancete23 commented 2 years ago

Funciona para todos, solo tiene que descargar los núcleos 1.9.11 del buildbot y reemplazar solo el núcleo px68k, luego ingresar a Retroarch y protegerlo y crear una copia de seguridad para el futuro y nada más.

Perfecto Toni gracias.No lo entendía, ahora funciona con tu explicación, Gracias!!

boomercore commented 2 years ago

Update?

gingerbeardman commented 2 years ago

Update?

Use an old core.

ToniBC commented 2 years ago

It is strange that the broken core continues, since the problem seems easy to solve, since it is a loading problem. But at the moment it seems that nobody looked at it yet.

This means that everyone who downloads it doesn't work for them and if they don't know how to look around here or the forum, they won't get it.

gingerbeardman commented 2 years ago

@ToniBC you are 100% correct, sadly this is the state of many cores for some platforms on RA. There is no automated testing, there is no priority. It's really unfortunate.

The best we can do is use what we have that works.

energy-t commented 2 years ago

Can someone with a windows build env test out my branch for me to see if it fixes this issue? Find it here: https://github.com/energy-t/px68k-libretro/tree/musashi I'm going to post this message in all 3 issues opened up for this issue, not trying to spam just looking for assistance from the various ppl reporting it EDIT: On second thought, I think if I just link to the other issues here it'll ping ppl in those threads so I'll try that first. This issue relates to these: https://github.com/libretro/px68k-libretro/issues/150 https://github.com/libretro/px68k-libretro/issues/147

ToniBC commented 2 years ago

@energy-t Because you don't compile the core, you put it in your GIT in releases so we can test it and stuff. It's complicated if you want users to compile the core themselves to test it.

gouchi commented 2 years ago

Hi,

The core should be available on buildbot now, otherwise you can get the build directly for i686 or x86_64.

@PhobosAnomaly666 The title of the issue should be renamed to something more accurate for example Can't load content any more with px68k libretro core on Windows.

If the issue is fixed after testing please close it.

Thank you.

ToniBC commented 2 years ago

The core downloaded from buildbot seems to be working fine now, so the boot issue seems to be fixed.
