Intermittent/no sound/BGM Project Justice (U) v1.0.6

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1: Tried various plugins
2: Tried various settings
3: Tried game in v1.0.3 (*sound okay - graphics fidelity drop)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output is: Consitant audio/BGM

But instead I see: BGM drops out after a while; some audio inaccurate

What version of the product are you using? What build? What plugins?

I use version: 1.0.6

I use a *Edit This*Release*Debug*-NoTrace*Edit This* build

I use the following plugins:

PowerVR Plugin: nullPVR
GDRom Plugin: *Edit me*
AICA Plugin: Elsemi
ARM7 Plugin: *Edit me*
Maple Plugin(s): *Edit me*
Ext.Device Plugin: *Edit me*

On what kind of system?

My system specifications are as follows:

Operating System: Winz 64bit
CPU: i7
Video Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 
Sound Card: ATI HD Audio
Additional related hardware and/or software: 1.7-3Ghz

Please provide any additional information below:

In v1.0.6 the grpahics fidelity is low (no HD on a 1920x1080 monitor) but the 
sound emulation is accurate.  In v1.0.3 the graphics fidelity is high but the 
BGM drops out and some sound effects are muddled.

v1.0.6? Is that the first release beta you're using? That numbering system was 
a bit confusing.

Current release is v1.0.4 r78, get the latest compiled version from 
www.emucr.com

Not sure which 'beta' it is per se.  They're by drk||Raziel and ZeZu.  1.0.3 is 
a Aug 2008 build.  1.0.6, Nov 2007.

The plugins range from 2007-2008.  The 1.0.3 version runs the game in HD but 
with BGM that drops out after a few minutes leaving only effects audio, some of 
which is intemittently muddled.

The 1.0.6 version has pretty much perfect audio reproduction, both BGM and 
effects.  However this comes at the price of a severe downgrade in grpahics 
resolution, irrespective of plugins, powerVR etc settings.  Some grpahical 
glithces are present also.

I tried r78 ANd r77, but I'm getting a 'Verified Failed  : TaCmd!=0 in 
TASplitter::Dma -> src\ta.cpp : 19' with bother revisions upon attempting to 
load a .cdi image and then the program crashes.  (*Tried Project justice(U), 
Choco Maker(J)), Powerstone(U), CvS 2001(J {.gdi})

Try to get r78 working, don't bother with the older versions (1.0.3 and 1.0.6) 
- we won't support them here so I imagine this issue will be closed soon.

I've not seen that error before. Make sure you have the latest DirectX 9 and 
the Visual C++ 2010 runtimes (link on the Project Home page). If you have 
problems getting nullDC to work then please post in the NGEmu forum:

Sound works very well in Project Justice in r78.

1.0.6 ? maybe you mean 1.0.0 b1.6 ? :p

Anyway, does this problem still happen as of r78 ?

Yes.  It might be 1.0.0 b1.6 - that's possible... dunno  : /

However, I've got 1.0.4 r22 now and it runs Project Justice near-perfectly 
(*Wild Daigo's 'fumes' still cause a slight graphical glitch with the 
background on some stages).

As far as the 'Verified Failed  : TaCmd!=0 in TASplitter::Dma -> src\ta.cpp : 
19' error with r77 and r78, I did download the latest C++ (via ngemu) and also 
installed the missing 'D3DX9_43.dll' file it was asking for, but to no avail - 
error still present.  Hence why I went to an earlier revision, which works fine 
seemingly.

Thanks either way.

"installed the missing 'D3DX9_43.dll'".

You should delete that file and get the full DirectX 9.0c installed:

Having Vista/Win7 with DX10 installed doesn't mean you have a proper DX9 
install.

Installed it but nada - still gettin' the 'Verified Failed  : TaCmd!=0 in 
TASplitter::Dma -> src\ta.cpp : 19' error  : /

No matter.  If there isn't an exact fix for this problem I'll just stick to the 
1.0.4 r22 version - it seems to be working well.  At least until a full 
official release comes along  ^_-
