Force Unleashed and Star Wars 3 bugs

Hi everyone!

So I posted a bug for this before and it got moved, so I'm posting it again here plus some other bugs. I've been changing the speed hacks and some graphics options each time to achieve the best speed in SW / HW mode. Before anyone asks, I always use the latest Stable version of PCSX2. I'm currently using PCSX2 1.2.1  . I didn't bother with any Star Wars 3 screenies because you can't really capture the problems in screenshots.

--FORCE UNLEASHED--

--SOFTWARE MODE--

- 50-60 FPS

- Subtitles and Health/Force bar not always visible

- Quick-action sequence buttons not visible

- Even when it is showing 60FPS, the game is very sluggish as if it was running at 30FPS

--HARDWARE MODE--

- Same problems plus the famous half-screen bug (only the top half of the screen is visible).

--STAR WARS 3--

--SOFTWARE MODE--

- Runs at half speed

--HARDWARE MODE--

- Can't see intro splash screen

- FMVs don't start showing until the characters start speaking (when the subtitles appear)

I think I've got all the bugs, but if I've missed any let me know. Anyway, any help?

Thanks

Gray box in Gauntlet SS

problem: there is always a gray box in the upper left while playing gauntlet 7 sorrows.
[Image: gsdx_20151113095424.jpg]
The game plays great other than this nuisance.  I just thought I would ask if anyone knows of a way to get rid of the gray box?

The gray box does not show up when using a software rendering, only hardware rendering.

OS: Windows 8.1
Video: NVidia GTX750 - latest drivers.
PCSX2 version: 1.2.1.  I also compiled the latest from GitHub and tried that.  same result.
Video plugin: GSdx.  I tried several versions. Different SSE levels.

I tried many, many plugin and emulation settings. 
some of them were:

D3D9 & D3D11
Native resolution and 2x res
Emu Preset to Safest
Disabled all speed hacks.
Disabled MTVU
Frame skipping constant 2

Project Documentation

Hello guys,

I have worked on a documentation of the EE recompiler: http://wiki.pcsx2.net/index.php/PCSX2_Do...Recompiler

It isn't yet finish but it gives you already a good overview of the recompiler. Feel free to improve it (or give your feedback)

I would like also to concentrate others doc in this wiki. I think it will be interesting to port http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-How-to-cr...er-GS-dump

And also this draft:

Code:
Here an overview of severals way to debug PCSX2 on Linux (quick and dirty post).

*************************************************
1/ Debugging PCSX2 or generate a backtrace
* use dev or debug build to have debug information
* If the backtrace contains ???, it means you miss debug symbol from external libraries. Hint: search -dbg packages of your distribution.

# Use this command to start gdb (adapt the path to your executable)
gdb ./bin/pcsx2-dbg

# inside the gdb prompt you need to disable segmentation fault
(gdb) handle SIGSEGV noprint

# Now you can run the program
(gdb) run

# Do the action that trigger the crash
# If you can't access the gdb prompt, hit CTRL-C to stop PCSX2

# Then you can dump the trace with
(gdb) thread apply all bt
# Same with extra printing of local variable
(gdb) thread apply all bt full

WARNING: I'm not sure gdb will stop correctly if you hit a SIGSEGV in plugins

2/ Address Sanitizer
PCSX2 supports a special build mode to check wrong memory access (which often lead to segmentation fault)
It can be enabled with the --asan flags

./build.sh --asan

PCSX2 uses a special handler for SIGSEGV signal so you need to notify the checker at run-time. Typically you must start the executable this way

ASAN_OPTIONS=allow_user_segv_handler=1 ./bin/pcsx2-dbg

3/ GS dump
3a/ generate GS dump
* few frames: CTRL+F8
* more frames: CTRL+SHIFT+F8, hold SHIFT

The dump will be created in your snapshot directory. Hint check .gs extension files.

3b/ replay the GS dump
* Build PCSX2 with this option -DBUILD_REPLAY_LOADERS=TRUE
It will create the pcsx2_GSReplayLoader executable
Note: I would advice to save it somewhere.

* The executable requires 3 arguments
1/ the GSdx plugin => bin/plugins/libGSdx-0.1.16.so
2/ the .gs file =>  bin/snaps/god_of_war.gs
3/ the directory that contains the ini file => bin/inis

3c/ Useful option to analysis the dump
* linux_replay = n <= replay the trace n times

* dump = 1 <= Enable dumping infrastructure
* save = 1 <= dump render target
* savez = 1 <= dump depth target
* saven = nnn <= first texture to dump

3d/ For the record it is possible to replay GS dump in GPU debugger such as Apitrace
* if you know any other debugger on Linux, rise your hand.

Who would like to help?

Fine tuning for upgraded System (about time .)

the last time i posted i had an AMD FX 4100, 8GB Ram, Radeon Hd5750 (XFX 1GB Edition) and was using a 360 Gamepad.

finally got to upgrading the System still budgeting and this is a "Hold me over" System w/ a job (***** and low pay but one none the less) in hand i can save up for an proper PCSX2 tailored Machine.

AMD A10 7850k APU (Radeon R7 Graphics as its built in GPU stock 1GB Shared memory reserved)
(still.) 8GB ddr3 1333 Ram (looking into Faster Ram as $$ allows since 90% of my checks goto rent )
MSI TwinFrozr Series GTX 760OC Factory Overclocked GPU, (2GB card)
Replaced my Wired 360 Gamepad (but this one seems a lil more troublesome)
(Using GIT Build: 1452-g07ec921 (latest one as one 4:05 AM EDT) )
OS: Windows 10 Pro Build 1511 TH2 "November Update"

with games i've allready tested (.hack//GU Vol 1 and Dawn of Mana) Much better Frame Rate but things could be Better.
any spefic GS Plugins/settings recommended? i dont want to use the APU's Radeon R7 at all because i only have the stock cooler till next month and i'm hearing the Heatsink Block on the stock Coolers for the APUs is one of the bigger Mistakes AMD Has Made(Inefficient at Pulling and Dispersing heat/acting more as an Insulator ..) though i tested it briefly after you obtain the great tree's seed the resulting areas using Nothing but setting 2x Native PS2 res.resulted in dropping from 60FPS to 20 or less with the GSPlugin in DirectX9 Hardware Setting.  (and almost maintained a constant 60 but never dipping under 50) with FXAA  on 3times Native resolution in Direct X 11 Hardware mode when using the GTX 760

as for the troublesome Gamepad, the left analog stick seems fluid up and down but left to right seems stiff or at times Over sensitive making navigating in DoM a PITA. (its not like this in other PC Games.[ex FFXIV, Warframe and other emulators suck as VBA-M,  and Dolphin]) and have not tried the old 1.10 build that had the best performance while i was still using the older FX 4100 PC.

recording question

hey guys. was wondering how i might record not just video of the game but also my mic. i was using fraps to record lots of other games such as skyrim pokemon darksouls 2, never had a problem with it before then i went to make a video of dot hack on the pcsx2 and my computer was like whoa whoa no...slowed down to almost a halt. i of course did some research and found out that the pcsx2 has an inbuilt recording software already inside it so i tried to use that but it would only record the video and the music but wont pic up my mic. i went back to using fraps and tried to lower the pcsx2's video plugin to the lowest possible resolution but that did nothing.

my computer specs are as follows 8 gb ram intel quad core 3.40gz 64 bit windows 7 with a nvidia geforce graphics card and 200 gigs of free space on a 500 gig hard drive
i am aware that they make video capture cards but am unable to purchase one at the moment, if theres any tips for speeding up fraps, or other programs i should try, please dont hesitate to recommend them. also when i tried to play dot hack on the newest version of pcsx2 it crashed on the new game screen i had to go back to 9.7...i found that odd enuf to worth mentioning seeing as thats the game on the pcsx2 i wanted to record

Best CPU for PCSX2?

Assuming price is not an issue what CPU is the best for PCSX2? Or at least ones that come close to the highest end. I've been looking at benchmarks for the new Skylake i7's and their not much better in single threaded performance than my aging i5-3470 (blows it away overall with much higher core counts but single threaded performance is not that much better)

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-67...re-i5-3470

PassMark (Single Core)
Core i7 6700K
2,320

Core i5 3470
1,906

I'm trying to figure out if there is any CPU on the market worth upgrading to and emulator performance is one of the higher on the list right under game performance.

Should I use a 4:3 custom resolution or 16:9 when using then widescreen option ingame? I know the game is in 4:3 aspect ratio even if you use the widescreen, it just stretches the screen to fit the distorted 4:3 widescreen to 16:9.

Issues with recording

It seems sometimes when I record a message pops up saying
SPU2-X couldn't open file for recording: recording.wav.
Recording to wavfile disabled.

This is strange because normally it works fine, and it only seems to do this after I've changed resolution.
Forgive me if I'm not aware of very common knowledge, I'm not exactly experienced on the deeper layers of emulation.

I wanted to comment on videos, but I had to create a name for Google+ and merge it with my YT account to do so.

After setting this all up, I wanted to go to my Favorite Videos, but it's saying it's 'Private'.... It's my OWN favorite list >_>

Did I lose the list somehow? Anyone here who happened to have merged their YT account before that has experience with this?

Controller problem in ePSXe on Linux

November 15, 2015, 3:17 pm

Hello.
I made a previous search and found few threads talking about this PS1 emulator in this section. I try here because ePSXe IRC channel no longer works (says "read only", or the like), devs' emails seemingly no longer work neither, and I don't trust too much the Ngemu boards...

Regarding PS1 emulators, on Linux I already have used PCSX Reloaded and it's good indeed. But I wanted to test again ePSXe because of its portability (the emulator is just downloaded and ready to run from any directory, given due libraries are installed of course).

The thing is, I find a strange problem in latest ePSXe 1.9.25 for Linux when trying to configure controller. In the Windows version there's no problem, it even ships with a default configuration with actual keyboard keys. But on Linux I try to configure and I get just numbers by default in all buttons. Starting a game with this default config results in not being able to play. Game runs, but no controllers at all.
Tried to change settings with keyboard keys, of course. But when saving them, changes are never actually saved, always return to the default numbers. Same result if trying to directly edit the configuration text file -the one that is hidden with . -.
Then tried with just random numbers different than the defaults and even soem weird characters. Result: when openning the controller settings again I got other different numbers, but still *numbers*.

It looks as if the Linux build was expecting an actual joystick or the like, and it wasn't able to read from the keyboard at all.

And the better part, ePSXe doesn't allow 3rd party controller plugins unlike the audio and video ones. It only uses the builtin one.

Can anyone help with this issue? That is, if there's someone who has used ePSXe on Linux...

Thanks all beforehand.

HELP! What's the ideal PC build for me?

So, I'm gathering some money to build a PC. Basically, I want something that can run most PS2 games at an acceptable framerate (I don't care about 60 fps, 30 or 25 is fine by me). BUT. I also want something not too expensive, because I don't have much money. (around 600 I guess?)

 I should also say I have no experience in building PCs so if you wanna talk hardware please explain each part I need.

Who has access to the buildbot website? [Regarding a minor update]

Topic.

Whoever has access, should probably update this section:

Quote:The Windows build has been made with Visual C++ 2013. You need to install the Visual C++ 2013 (x86) runtime package to run it.

And match it with a link to VC++2015 runtimes as well. The latest builds require that to run PCSX2.
