Some PAL games #65

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try playing Thomas & Friends Hero of the Rails in Auto Patch

What is the expected output? What happened instead?
Black Screen, unless you change it to PAL of course.  then it plays black and 
white.  It used to work on older version of wiiflow and d2x

What version of the product are you using? Which d2x cIOS version?
Latest wiiflow R431, D2x V9 beta

Please provide any additional information below.
This game used to play in wiiflow, but since updating it has stopped working.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Thats strange, because they were no changes in the video patching, so your TV 
is NTSC and the game is PAL and you use composite cables right?

Original comment by fix94.1 on 28 May 2012 at 10:25

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Yes that is correct, NTSC TV, NTSC console, using composite cables.  The game 
used to work, and I'm sorry I don't know what version it stopped working at.  
If I have some time today I will down grade a little and see if I can figure 
out what the last version it worked with was.

So I backed up to a little over a month ago and started there since that is the 
last time my wife said the kids played the Thomas and Friends Hero of the Rails.

r215 Tested Works
r217 Tested Works
r224 Tested Works
r230 Tested Works
r239 Tested Works
r258 Tested Broken
r280 Tested Broken
r315 Tested Broken
r348 Tested Broken
r431 Tested Broken
r432 Tested Broken

So the broken test results on PAL Game load, Screen goes black, wiimote 
disconnects, system unresponsive, have to manually turn off system.

What do you mean?  I went back and the last rev that the Thomas and Friends 
Hero of the rails worked is r239.

If I go back to r239 all the games that will not work on r431, work again.

You cant just use any libogc, check out the downloads section and use the 
libogc needed for the rev you want to build.

Wow...thank you so much to "dus..." for all the research into this issue and of 
course to  fix94 for and the other developers for all you do.  I spent the last 
few days attempting to figure out why a couple games that used to work on my 
WiiFlow 2.1 setup no longer worked on r431.  In the end I believe that I am in 
the same boat as "dus..."  I only have a handful of PAL games and the two that 
I have found not working (that previously worked) are both PAL.  I also found 
that if I set the video for the individual game to PAL (either 50 or 60) the 
black screen and the freeze of the system are no longer there.  However, on my 
old Sony CRT the screen simply starts rolling...

The two games I can add to the list are "The SIMS 3" and The SIMS 2: PETS".  My 
copy of Lego Batman works correctly on r431 but it happens to be NTSC so again 
it points back to the issue described above.

I will add that besides the two games mentioned above I am LOVING r431 over 
WiiFlow 2.1 so much.  It is nice that it doesn't seem to ever (yea I know there 
will be a few) need special settings for individual games and that instead it 
just seems to figure it out.  Also, my kids play so many games that the system 
memory was almost full with the game saves and now that I have the NAND 
Emulation on and all the game saves copied out of the system memory the system 
has 2K blocks and the SD Card still has over 9K.  Thank you VERY much.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
OK, I did some extra testing and it turns out that I have 16 PAL games. 

The only two that don't work are:
The SIMS 2: Pets
The SIMS 3

The ones I have verified working are:
Mario Strikers Charged Football
Project Runway
The Last Story
Disney Think Fast
Kung Fu Panda 2
Battleship
LEGO Harry 2
Mario Kart
SIMS Animals: Africa
Kirby
Happy Feet 2
Despicable me
Rune Factory: Fronter
Crash 2008 (Mind over Mutant)

The only other game I have that I am aware does not work currently is Tin Tin 
but that seems to be a very well known issue across several USB Loaders and I 
am not currently welling to take the steps outlined to make it work.  So, 
hopefully this will be solved more easily in the future.

Hate to ask but do you have a boot.dol for either r470 (or the newer r471).  I 
can test this for sure but I am not really setup to compile it from source.

Sorry and thank you very much :)

;(  Sorry to say this actually went in the opposite direction.  Before the 
bigger list of PAL games worked with the Wii set to NTSC and the 2 SIMS games 
had the Black Screen and locked up the Wii with NTSC mode and a rolling picture 
in PAL mode.

Now it seems that all of the PAL games get the black screen and lock up the Wii 
in NTSC mode and they all get the rolling screen in PAL mode.

Sorry for the bad news.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
OK, you had me really excited on that one as both the SIMS games work correctly 
in NTSC mode on r472.  However, it seems that all of the other PAL games don't 
(but, slightly different).

In NTSC mode they give black screen and lock up the Wii.
In Default mode they give black screen and lock up the Wii.
In forced to PAL 50 mode they give the rolling screen.

So, it looks like progress anyway.  ;)

Yea this ntsc patch is a bitch, need to make more testing and may hook my wii

Thank so much for continue to try.  You have to be getting close it would 
seem...since you have been able to get them all not working (r471).  The first 
half working (r431) and the second half working (r472).  I tried to look at the 
changes in the code but I was a bit lost (LOL).  Guess being a microsoft 
developer has me a bit lazy...;(

Tested these PAL games on Rev 472

They do not work:

Lego Pirates of the Caribean
Thomas & Friends: Hero of the Rails
Dispicable Me   
Disney Universe 
Disney Epic Mickey
Go, Diego, Go! Great Dinosaur Rescue
Just Dance

Some of these games where previously working and now they are not.  I ran out 
of time and could not test anymore tonight.

The compatility shouldnt have changed with r472, so something is 100% wrong

Made it home and these are my test results.

These got the black screen and locked up Wii.
     The SIMS 2: Pets
     SIMS Animals: Africa
     Project Runway
     Mario Kart
     LEGO Harry 2
     Kung Fu Panda 2
     Disney Think Fast
     Despicable me
     Crash 2008 (Mind over Mutant)
     Battleship
     Mario Strikers Charged Football

These worked correctly with NTSC set as the default:
     Madagascar 3 (New to the list as I just got it)
     The SIMS 3
     Rune Factory: Frontier
     The Last Story
     Kirby
     Happy Feet 2

I also tested a few of the NTSC games I have just to verify that they are still 
working correctly and out of the subset I tested they all still appear from a 
five minute / errr (4) game test to be OK.

The Disney Universe game (verified my copy is NTSC and that it works on r431) 
also locks up the Wii with a black screen on r474.

Sorry for being late to the party.  
r475 testing here is what I have found:

PAL Games that do work:

    Back to the Future The Game  (Slow to startup)
    Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident (slow to Startup)
    Dispicable Me (slow Startup)
    Disney Epic Mickey (slow Startup, game play extremely skippy)
    Go, Diego, Go! Great Dinosaur Rescue (slow Startup, game play skippy)
    Just Dance (slow Startup, game play skippy)
    Ivy the Kiwi (slow startup, black screen no responce)

PAL Games that do not work:

Black Screen wiimote lit up, system froze.
    Conduit 2

Black Screen wiimote not lit up, system froze

    Lego Pirates of the Caribean
    Call of Duty World at War UK/FR
    Disney Universe

On the working titles, there is a 30-60 second delay before video starts up.  
And some of the games ran smoothly until game play then skippy.  

Just to clarify, I have my wiiflow set to auto patch.

Fix your doing great.

Original comment by allymedi...@gmail.com on 15 Jun 2012 at 6:21

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
You may set wiiflow to force NTSC to see if it makes a difference. 30-60 
seconds shouldnt happen, for me there is a delay of prolly 3 seconds and it 
works.

Original comment by fix94.1 on 15 Jun 2012 at 9:59

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
This is how I have it set.  For the games that work the 3 second delay is 
expected but the other games never come back from the black screen.

To be honest r431 works by far the best for me so I am simply looking for NTSC 
copies of the two SIMS games that do not work correctly.  This way I know all 
of the other games do work.  (Except for Tin Tin but again that is a bigger 
issue.)

Original comment by rok...@gmail.com on 15 Jun 2012 at 10:41

r431 works better than r239 for you then?

Original comment by fix94.1 on 15 Jun 2012 at 10:49

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I don't know.  I never used r239.  I came from Wii Flow 2.1 straight to r431.  
I love the NAND EMU for Game saves as we were running out of space on the Wii 
(less than 200 blocks left now we have thousands) and the only issues I have 
had at all have been the two SIMs games.  Otherwise I think r431 is perfect.

I've been afraid to go backwards too far because I don't want the Game Saves on 
the NAND EMU to break.

Not only did all of the games load correct (NTSC and PAL in NTSC Mode) but they 
really didn't have the delay in getting started either.  Although it does seem 
in r239 that the Wii Remote takes a bet longer to sync when entering the 
WiiFlow Application.

NTSC Games...Disney U loaded without issue...plus I randomly selected 5 more 
and they all worked correctly as well.

PAL Games that loaded correctly...(In NTSC Mode) - (This is a successful load 
of each of my PAL games in NTSC mode.)
