Shenmue (PAL) [Maple-Storage/IRQ] #49

Open skmp opened 5 years ago

skmp commented 5 years ago

From @MrPsyMan on January 10, 2014 15:4

There's an error condition on maple when switching to 60Hz on the start of the game.

The storage device (that's the VMU normally) will not initiate because a related interrupt is either not sent or ignored. As a result, loading the game save becomes impossible and saving will corrupt the whole VMU.

The storage device initiates properly at 50Hz when the frequency switch does not happen.

What's necessary to reproduce this?

I started the game and set the mode to 60 Hz. This was saved to the VMU. When I start the game the next time the test screen comes up to see if the 60 Hz mode works and the game starts normally at 60 Hz.

I also saved (via "resume file") and the VMU was still ok. Loading (Continue) was also working.

@MrPsyMan do you know if this got fixed? I recall this was some acrane nullDC issue. Maybe it got fixed?
