yes I`m impressed with this build who`s with me

 

[Azuma]

PMing Khan seems pretty obvious now... anyways here are some new results:

Auto Bias doesn't seem any different, possibly a little more stable but the fps is still all over the place in tenchu. Auto Bias doesn't have much of an effect in other games

Improvements over previous version:

Tomba 2(NTSC?)
Format .img
Caanoo Clock 750Mhz
No Sound
FPS = semi-consistent 30/60
All the textures are okay now, no black flashes, speed is the same

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (NTSC-U)
Format .iso
Caanoo Clock 750Mhz
No Sound
FPS = 10/20
Made it in game, lots of blue flashing, but not quite as bad a T2.

Games that have problems that still haven't been fixed:
Tenchu 2
format: .iso
No sound
fps= 30/60
Exactly the same, still has black flashes

Games that still hang (at above settings):
Valkyrie Profile (NTSC-U)
Star Ocean 2 (NTSC-U)
Gundam Battle assault 2 (NTSC-U)
Tenchu Shinobi Hyakusen (NTSC-J)

PCSX4ALL Build 20181218

Ridge Racer PAL

800 MHz
CPU BIAS Auto
All other settings default

unplayable - massive graphic glitches, that disappear, when CPU BIAS is set to anything else then AUTO

Metal Gear Solid

Settings default

Doesn't work - Black screen at boot - tried BIOS mode, no luck either

R-Type Delta NTSC

Settings default

Doesn't work - needs BIOS mode to boot up, hangs at checking memory card screen

 

[ruffnutts]

@ CKeichel My 4meg iso of ridge racer works fine - could be NTSC though

That's possible, the PAL version I tried has weird graphic glitches, when you set CPU BIAS to Auto, the whole screen gets black/white and the graphics are completely distorted.

If a particular game doesn´t work for you, just try with HLE-secure, BIOS and/or interpreter

Tried all of this, seems to be clearly related to the CPU BIAS Auto function, only appears, when AUTO is enabled.

Gran Turismo 2 Disc 1 PAL

Doesn't work, needs BIAS 2 and CPU Core set to BIOS to boot, freezes at car selection

Tried now Legend of Mana, Diablo, Parasite Eve and Grand Theft Auto. All games run with BIOS and BIAS 4 but slow. Diablo has no sound (with CD + xa enabled) and Parasite Eve freezes at start game screen. Framerates lie around 20/25 on Diablo and 10/15 on the rest ingame.

 

[ruffnutts]

@ fettouhi there`s a game fix for Parasite Eve at the bottom of the settings menu under game fixes
