Psx4gp2x Dynarec Status Update

crap, I used too much memory
Fixing again
Weird how it works for some but not others. Must mean some users firmwares take up more memory than FW 3.0.0 or have menu systems loaded in the background.

Wait, do you mean to say that there will be a c release?

 

[zodttd]

Yes

Please check for version C in just a few minutes on the build directory and let me know if games work again. Sigh, I was hoping for that extra memory usage.

noticed a "PSX Clock" in Cabbage`s "resident evil" video from youtube ..
what is that ?

 

[Rivroner]

Black screen for me, i see nothing, i can´t select noithing, no overclock, just black
Fresh install.

 

[CABBAGES]

with b i get into the menus and can try load games but most seem to not work or just work a bit
im still on firmware 2

The psx clock is what you can change to try and improve the performance. pUsht ehstick in and use volume up to increas eand volume down to decrease. about 40% seems good but some games need higher or full 100% or some might work better with less.

 

[euro48k]

pUsht ehstick .. ok ..got it

 

[CABBAGES]

oops i type too fast and my light is off and its a wireless keyboard. I Blame the wirelessness the most for my mistakes

 

[euro48k]

wow ..the lower i clock the more fps action
i`m playing bubble bobble now @ 30-40FPS .. crazy
240cpu / Ram Tweaks on / interlace count 1 / progressive interlace on

(already uploaded a video but didn`t knew about that pushStick+volume [-][+])

Version C has been placed in the build directory.
I'd like ot know if any previously working games are no longer working with this version. I'm trying to figure out what got broken, but it's a bit difficult as my SD card decided to die and give IO errors constantly.

 

[shinneri]

Uh oh, Zod... it's still not fixed. h34r: h34r:

EDIT: I will clarify: Threads of Fate still doesn't get past the start menu thing just like before. But now it seems to pause a couple times at the "Square Electronic Arts" text when you just load it. I don't think that happened before (but I'm going to check). Sorry, happened in all earlier versions, too. Next paragraph's still true though.

Also, I just let it sit at that menu, and it seems to be crashing right when it's going to display 3D because it crashes at the (real-time) intro video, too. (After the menu, it goes to a screen with 3D characters on it.)

 

[Rivroner]

Same problem with Wipeout, you can only use X.Horrible and strange Sound.
If you turn sound ON game hangs about the starting grid.
This version runs about 2 frames slower than Built B.
Gonna test some other games.

 

[CABBAGES]

raiden project is getting past the title screen again but you cant start the game you can only watch it play itself. i think the start button is no longer working ?


EDIT: strange as teh start button is working coz you need ot press it to either got raiden 1 or raiden 2. When yuo start up raiden 1 you cant get the game ot actually start you can just watch the demo but if you start up raiden 2 yuo can start that ok and play it fine.

Oh and this game still has messed up graphice to the right of the screen but its still playable coz i think its only yoru score and stuff that is usually there.


EDIT: Tekken 3 is still not workin in this build but was in the first one.

 

[zodttd]

Ok, time to figure this weirdness out. It's probably my load opcodes new code. Ughh. I might rewrite some of the reg caching now.

 

[Rivroner]

I am gonna play WE , while you fix that

 

[shinneri]

I edited my post above, if you didn't see, Zod. pausing at the "Square Electronic Arts" text always happened.. just didn't see it before. Still true about it freezing once it gets to 3D though.

 

[GameGod]

Version c fixed the running out of ram thing

 

[zodttd]

Yeah I screwed up a bunch of stuff concerning memory allocations and putting too much crap on the heap. Fixing it all up again and reverting back if needed.

 

[LegendaryMachine]

...D release?

 

[zodttd]

Nope, I think it's almost a new day. ;P
