Legend of Zelda: OOT crash when moving towards Malon in Castle Town

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe your system:
 - Operating System (be specific): Mac OS X 10.8.5
 - Machine type (32-bit or 64-bit): 64-bit, of course.  :)
 - Mupen64Plus version: Current (2.0.0)
 - Plugins used: glide64mk2

For visual artifacts, give:
- game name and CRC/MD5 hash (printed on console)
- description of the artifact (missing polygons, flashing, wrong colors,
etc)

Describe the problem:
Ocarina of Time runs smoothly until I enter Castle Town and approach Malon the 
red-headed girl, and/or scroll through the Castle Town map until Hyrule Castle 
just comes in view.  The game crashes every time I do this.  Attached is a 
crash log for your reading pleasure.

I'd like to note that this bug does not happen if using the Rice plugin, but 
the Rice plugin has its own other issues, not the least of which being the 
persistent frames that make gameplay quite epileptic.

Can you please attach a savestate right before the crash happens and a 
explanation what someone must do from the point of the savestate until the 
crash happens. Thanks

Ask and ye shall receive.  All you should have to do to repeat the crash is to 
attempt to cross Castle Town to get to Hyrule Castle.  Dolphin 2.0, Mac, 
glide64mk2

Tested it on Linux (Debian unstable packages of mupen64plus 2.0; with and 
without valgrind) and could ran around on the market, talk to Marlon and reach 
the hyrule castle. So I cannot reproduce it and therefore it is quite hard to 
fix for me.

Could be driver, library or compiler related.

This is specifically a Mac issue.

It happens on Android too. Galaxy S II, glide64mk2. In order to move around the 
town I need to change to Rice video plugin (which happens to work worse overall 
in another locations).

This happens to me using Ubuntu Linux 13.10 64 bit, and Mupen64Plus 2.0 64 bit 
with the Glide 64 plugin.  Using the Rice plugin everything works fine, except 
the other issues with Rice (drop in framerate, weird color issues in Mario 64, 
etc.).  Using the Glide plugin, which overall gives me better performance, 
causes the game to crash when rounding the fountain to talk to Malon.  I don't 
think this has anything to do with her though, because if you come around the 
fountain from the other direction (Link's left, player's right if entering from 
the draw-bridge) she will come into view without the crash, but if I keep 
walking and try to get close to her, when the camera pans around to where the 
steps to the Temple of Time and the Happy Mask shop would be brought into view, 
it crashes.  Also, I switched to the Rice plugin long enough to get the egg, 
then re-loaded with the Glide plugin, and even now that Malon is no longer in 
the market, the game still crashes when it tries to bring the Happy Mask shop 
entirely into view.  When running the game with the --verbose tag, it ran very 
slowly, and when coming in from the left (Link's right) side of the fountain, 
itrendered the door of the Happy Mask shop right before it crashed.  When 
coming from the right side (Link's left) of the fountain, it never quite makes 
it to the left edge of the Happy Mask Shop door.

When running it from the command line, even with the --verbose tag, all I get 
is:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Changing the emulation mode between Pure Interpreter, Interpreter, and Dynamic 
Re-compiler doesn't seem to affect anything, which reinforces the fact that it 
has something to do with Glide64.

I've uploaded a short video to YouTube to show what happens.  Using Rice it 
doesn't do this, but Rice stutters and gives me random other issues.

Can you remove the version you've installed from this website and try the 
version from this ppa: 
https://launchpad.net/~sven-eckelmann/+archive/ppa-mupen64plus and report back? 
Make sure that you don't accidentally use the version from the website. A 
possible way is to enforce the plugins by specifing the complete path:

mupen64plus --corelib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmupen64plus.so.2 --rsp 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-rsp-hle.so --gfx 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-video-glide64mk2.so --audio 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-audio-sdl.so --input 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-input-sdl.so $ROM

Using the version of Mupen64Plus from that PPA, the game functions properly 
using both the regular glide64 and the glide64mk2 graphics plugins.

I'd like to report that the stuttering disappears from the Rice plugin if you 
set the ScreenUpdateSetting to 2 in the .conf file

Does the crash still happen when compiling with following patch?

Second patch solves the problem. Fedora 20 64bit, mupen64plus 2.0, glide64mk2 
master branch from git.

Original comment by thesourc...@gmail.com on 1 Nov 2014 at 12:33

Though second patch also creates glitch on Happy Mask shop door - texture 
coordinates are wrong and the door vertical edge appears inside the door. Looks 
like clamping exp to 0 is not the best solution, negative exp values should be 
recalculated to positive using texture width, but I'm not sure how this works 
in this case.

I tried the replace_negative_int_shift2.patch as well, and it does fix the 
crash on a Debian jessie 32-bit machine, with a rebuilt 
mupen64plus-video-glide64mk2_2.0-3 package from Debian. However I didn't notice 
any mask shop door texture issues once the patch was applied. thesource, can 
you post a screenshot indicating the problem?

Here is a savegame from Starlord which can be used to reproduce this problem. 
Just wait until the bomb exploded.

The original sra from him is also available. You would have to jump to the 
middle and then to the right wall. Plant a bomb before the suspicious wall and 
let it explode to reach the hidden stone figure. glide64mk2 should have caused 
a crash when this is done. But following github issue has the relevant patch 
and instructions how to catch this with a trap and gdb:  
https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-video-glide64mk2/issues/30#issuecomme
nt-68728174

It has to be compiled via:

#download the sources with the:
# wget 
https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-core/raw/master/tools/m64p_helper_scr
ipts.tar.gz
# tar xvf m64p_helper_scripts.tar.gz
# ./m64p_get.sh
# apply patch to source/mupen64plus-video-glide64mk2

CFLAGS="-g3" ./m64p_build.sh OPTFLAGS="" INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG=""
(cd ./test/ && gdb --args ./mupen64plus --emumode 0 --gfx 
./mupen64plus-video-glide64mk2.so --datadir `pwd` ../zeldaoot.v64  )

Btw. it is much better to not rely on such a trap hack and instead use the 
GCC/clang sanitizers to detect the problems without knowing where the buffer 
overflow happened (otherwise you would not know where to add the "int $3"). 
Just compile it with following flags:

CFLAGS="-g3 -fsanitize=undefined -fsanitize=address" ./m64p_build.sh 
INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG="" OPTFLAGS=""

Just the patch used to get the info mentioned in 
https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-video-glide64mk2/issues/30#issuecomme

I've now changed my setup slightly to only build the glide64mk2 component and 
automatically load the savestate

Has this issue been resolved yet? I'm having the same issue when I approach 
Malon in the Market. Glide64Plus will crash unexpectedly: when I use Rice, this 
issue doesn't exist but other things like trees rocks, the sky and the menu map 
don't render correctly. Any help would be great. I'm on a MacBook Pro running a 
3.06 Ghz Intel core 2 Duo, 8GB Memory and NVIDIA GeForce card.

Yes the issue has been resolved, if you dig through the notes I posted about it 
and somebody sent me a link to an updated version and it fixed it for me.

Well, that PPA link doesn't exactly have a Mac build ready to use, but I've got 
the next best thing.  Install Homebrew, and then after you get it working 
("brew doctor" command returns no errors), then you can install the mupen64plus 
and mupen64plus-video-glide64mk2 packages from the /homebrew/games tap.  Then 
you can just run mupen64plus as a command and pass a ROM path.  I even wrote a 
nice four-line Applescript to give me a dialog to choose the ROM I want to 
play.

Sorry this defect was still present in the recently released version 2.5.  I 
reverted conchurnavid's original patch because it introduced visual artifacts 
in some games.  I just committed a proper fix in our git repo changeset 15f1f88.

Guys, please help! you guys sound really clued up, im not...im using the 
MegaN64 (off Playstore) and the gles2glide64...runs like a dream except for the 
market crash...This is on a galaxy tab s 10.5.  I noticed that the crash only 
occurs during the day.  I don't know if I can still ask for help here but I 
tried all over the net and cant come across anything else beside this site.  
Pls pls pls help me...

Don't use rip-off apps like MegaN64.

If you want an nintendo64 emulator on Android then try the original one: 
Mupen64Plus AE (or "Mupen64+AE FREE" in case you don't want to donate a dollar)
