Log info for a crash will likely come from AndroidRuntime

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

But it does not crash it now just does this: https://youtu.be/d4E8Ak2-nd4

Found this, the error looks almost the same as the one mentioned in the log I posted: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42505735/avc-denied-read-for-name-dev-rootfs-ino-1-scontext-uruntrusted-app

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

It is hard to tell. All that is posted here is a screenshot of a few lines from the log that could be for anything running on the phone at that time.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42505735/avc-denied-read-for-name-dev-rootfs-ino-1-scontext-uruntrusted-app has a comment that claims he was able to solve it with https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33162152/storage-permission-error-in-marshmallow/41221852#41221852 which adds an unnecessary check if the permission was already granted to https://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator/blob/master/shell/android-studio/reicast/src/main/java/com/reicast/emulator/MainActivity.java#L112

Perhaps the issue is that you accidentally disabled the permission? Otherwise, that log is likely not one for reicast, but rather for something else running at the same time.

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

I checked the permissions on Android settings and they are enabled just to be sure I disabled them but the bug still occurs even with the permissions disabled or enabled. Can you enter the reicast settings on your Android 7 device on latest beta?

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

Android 5, 7, and 8.

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

@Blaze08

What device and OS do you have? Do you get exactly this same bug when pressing settings? https://youtu.be/d4E8Ak2-nd4

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

After a bunch of tests on a bunch of devices, I managed to get one to do it once. It looked like loading the theme setting may have triggered checking for a theme change in just the right conditions, which would reload the view. I put in an extra check to make sure that doesn't happen if nothing changes.

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

That did it! thanks a bunch you rock man.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

Glad to hear it worked. You definitely have something installed that is missing a runtime permission request, though. If you come across something that is failing to get sdcard access and was running at the same time you took that log, that is likely the culprit.

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

@blackman91 using android kitkat 4.4.0 it just reopened onto the menu games and always come back to main menu

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

also there are a bunch of flickering graphics in zombie revenge using Gpu mali-450 mp2, same as like unreal tournament but unreal tournament is worst everything unplayable even it's still bad

i have been tested so far is: House of the dead 2,Carrier (Playable) sometime drop and doesn't sync between sound and gameplay,Death Crimson OX (perfect) several flickering graphics,Sonic Adventure (playable) flickering graphics and sometime drop fps in heavy graphics,Sega Rally 2 (Not working same as hotd2 verify failed), Gundam Side story (Perfect) no issue at all and Dynamite Cop (Not working graphics glitch same as unreal tournament)

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

@Blaze08 Make sure to update to the version just published today. Should fix the menu issue.

As for the games, you may want to take a look at https://github.com/reicast/gamedb/issues because a lot of them sound familiar, including https://github.com/reicast/gamedb/issues/35 (Unreal and Dynamite Cop)

You may be able to contribute new info or confirm any progress if you are testing them.

i'm updated to latest beta sir, i've been testing now....

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

setting works now in kitkat still house of the dead 2 verify failed in beta version

RaduNastase commented 5 years ago

Finally updated from KK to Lollipop on my Note 3 Galaxy. Issue is that latest Playstore version crashes the instant i load a game or bios. Same goes for recent builds (tried a couple of them). An old Reicast build from around 2015 works well though.

RottenFoxBreath commented 5 years ago

Latest beta on Play Store just boots bios and won't run games. 8.1-74-g4b24d223. Roll back to latest ci build on website works again.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

The latest beta on Google Play and the most recent CI build are the same one.

RottenFoxBreath commented 5 years ago

I rolled back to that one: 03f935c 2018-09-28T19:20:10.000Z That's the top of the ci builds for me. That one works fine. But the Play Store had 2 updates in the last day or two. It even asked me if I wanted to update a few hours ago again, to the version in my last post

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

If you go into the menu and hit send logs after attempting to load a game, it will print the log of the attempt. Without that, it sounds like games broke by double checking permissions and adding a few more settings to the per-game configuration. That is highly unlikely.

randomuser85 commented 5 years ago

Can access settings on both beta and stable, the app just freezes. I tried older r7 version and it does the same. When I load the Bios or the games the screen also goes black. Device: Xiaomi Mi6 running on MiUi 10, 8.0.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

MiUi is a highly unstable custom firmware. A log will definitely be necessary to diagnose that issue.

randomuser85 commented 5 years ago

Here it is: log.txt

randomuser85 commented 5 years ago

I downloaded Android Studio apk and that seems to be the only one working for me. I still can't access the settings, but bios and games load just fine.

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

Confirm new latest beta house of the dead 2 (playable) with a bunch of flickering and lag drop fps, but playable awesome though, there are no different after i tested all in new beta still same, Otherwise thank you for fixing this "Verify Failed" Sign

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

there are a bug or issue ingame from power stone 2 after i play in "Original" mode and then "Please insert a vmu!" why? i though the vmu normal though after i save the game... Vmu is normal and why played in original or arcade mode still written "please insert a vmu!" maybe i will send you a email in google play with screenshot

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

Did you try formatting the VMU? If you boot the bios and try to open it and it won't open, it needs to be formatted

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

in reicast around build 2015 there are no sign like that, normal gameplay

MrPsyMan commented 5 years ago

Does the game have a menu to select 50 and 60 hz when it starts for you?

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

No Sir there are no selecting 50 or 60 hz from the game,

MrPsyMan commented 5 years ago

I see.

Are you using a beta version from the master or from another branch?

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

I see.

Are you using a beta version from the master or from anotger branch?

using from the master from google play beta version

MrPsyMan commented 5 years ago

Could be a maple dma issue.

You can try to start the game without a vmu (do we support that?), and then insert the vmu when the "insert vmu" message appears. Do not expect much though.

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

vmu is automatic with 1 mic integrated with it, i can't edit and choosing this options

MrPsyMan commented 5 years ago

Bummer.

@flyinghead @AbandonedCart any clue?

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

@Blaze08 By 50 / 60 hz, it is referring to PAL / NTSC. Those should be things you will find in the settings and game config.

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

20181003034033

here screenshot there are no selecting pal/ntsc 50/60 hz only Vmu items in here

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

img_20181003_020743

here it is House of the dead 2 using android kitkat 4.4.0 Gpu mali 450-mp2 model Himax Polymer there are several glitching and flickering sometime lag and drop fps

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

@Blaze08 You should probably be posting these to https://github.com/reicast/gamedb/issues since they are getting a bit large for the general beta thread.

Blaze08 commented 5 years ago

okay sir i will posting in there too

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

So what happened with the master builds? http://builds.reicast.com/

MezaCorleehone commented 5 years ago

very good emulator.

just that from the Android 8.1.0 pure android. I can not start the games.

I hope I can emulate soon

Samsung note 3

kikeminchas commented 5 years ago

Hi there

Nvidia Shield TV , Oreo 8.0. (Beta build from 5th October)

All these tests are performed with Synchronous Rendering (much smoother gameplay). Thanks!

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Yes I can confirm the colors issue on latest beta too, just check this: Reicast standalone latest beta: screenshot_20181018-124159

Fh branch: screenshot_20181018-124324

What version are you using? I'm using the latest build beta tester, from google play, and DOA2 gets dark on the characters during the fights.

RaduNastase commented 5 years ago

How about the 640x480 setting guys? Is it non-working on all android devices atm?
