Medievil 2 works with spnull. You should (if you can) fix this! :D

you can try medieval II with the original bios too, could be that.
Making a game run properly on such emulator is quite a work on messing with the settings.

Did someone played "Chrono Cross" on PCSX-Rearmed from Pandora lately ?

I'm experiencing a lot of crashes, and I'm not sure if it's just so unstable.

First of all I had to disable the "Enhanced resolution", or at the beginning of every fight I had a crash to desktop. (Just after touching an enemy and a little explosion happens, before the actual combat screen.)

Now I can play, but there's still a high probability that after a fight it randomly crashes...

I tried playing with a lot of options but I'm not seeing so much difference in stability.

EDIT:
Also, as a second question, why the "Fast Forward" function (7 key) doesn't work on "Chrono Cross" ?
It works with "Chrono Trigger" ...
 
I played crono cross on pyra the other night. Just tested pcsx didn't get to a battle so can't help there.

I was a bit annoyed at that the mouse arrow (a) would not disappear and (b) always relocated to center screen. Does this affect you? Do you know how to solve it?
 
I have no mouse arrow on the screen, but I suppose that in the Pandora it works in a different way, maybe it uses the "overlay" (??)

Anyway I'm still trying different parameters and drivers, and I obtained a really fluid gameplay, but still it crashes (segfault on the logs) at random times .... or at least, seems to me that happens mostly during transitions from different visuals...
for example:
- at the start of a battle, just before the change of view (happens very rarely now that I deactivated the "Enhanced resolution", before was always happening)
- at the end of the battle, just after exiting the winning screen
- before or after an FMV
- when exiting an area

I have to constantly save at every step.

With "Chrono Trigger" I had no issues at all, I finished the game smoothly...
so I think that the problems may be related to the fact that "Chrono Cross" is a 3D game...

I didn't see in the options hacks related to this game in particular, but I'm trying different combination of compatibility flags ...
 
I haven't played Chrono Cross but the few PSX games I've played on the Pandora, both 2D and 3D, worked fine.

I'd suggest:
- Trying another 3D driver (I don't remember the one I use)
- Making sure you have the latest version or, if you have, trying to downgrade to an earlier version
 
I know where it crashes for you, it's where it would slow down drastically zooming in/out of battles for me on rpi3. Sound would garble too. So CPU starved I assume maybe. I was playing at 2x resolution with a few hacks enabled. All other psx games played perfectly fwiw. I'm not helping ...

I love Chrono Trigger. Check out this jazz rendition:

At the default settings there was indeed a slowdown before the crash, but after playing with the options now is really fluid... it just die to desktop... there must be something sound or graphic related that is triggered...

I have the latest from the repo

EDIT:

ooooh !! I didn't know the repo had previous versions too :cool:
 
So, seems like the issue was the NEON GPU plugin (the built-in one)... it's fast and all but it goes segfault almost every 5 minutes of play...

The gpu-unai plugin seems stable, I played for two hours without a crash, it's pretty fast during gameplay (even without frameskip), there's only a 1/2 seconds of slowdown just before entering combat, but after that everything is smooth.
