Does it play the video or never does? Does this work on Windows with buffered rendering on?

[brujo5]

@unknownbrackets

is the same on windows/android whit/whithout buffered rendering dont show the video.only black screen.

[brujo5]

@solarmystic

not working for long time.

did you try in new builds?

[solarmystic]

@brujo5

I don't even have this game, nor have I tested it before.

Was wondering why you called me over here.

[hrydgard]

This has to be a casualty of the big mpeg rewrite and is somehow one of the few games still broken..

[unknownbrackets]

It has a very interesting error:
http://report.ppsspp.org/logs/game/ULUS10484_1.00

Abusing the ABI? Seems suspicious. It's hard to debug mpeg issues without a game that has the symptoms...

-[Unknown]

[hrydgard]

That particular error report is very old, though?

[unknownbrackets]

"Very", well, I suppose so. From the latest stable release.

-[Unknown]

[hrydgard]

Heh, yeah, but in PPSSPP-time, that's old :)

[dbz400]

I think this one test on Android .Is it okay on Windows with buffered ON ?

[brujo5]

@raven02

[dbz400]

I see. looks like similar issue as #3338

[brujo5]

@unknownbrackets
@hrydgard

this game working when ppsspp used media engine on/off.

so is possible implement media engine in hack settings for new build?

this may be playable much games that hang in videos.

as a temporary solution

[brujo5]

any news,this game broke since 5 month + ago.

still not working in new stable builds.

[brujo5]

game work normal on 0.6.X PPSSPP on 0.9.5 after intro black screen on 0.7.X was that same

[brujo5]

Using 0.9.6 : Goes to the intro video and then black screen. Used all combination to try make it work. All failed.

Using 0.6 : Awesome. Works even on 2x smoothly.

Errors - No sound. No FMV, the screen goes into TV like static. This means that understanding the story goes right out of the window.

VERDICT:

The game's visuals are gr8, even better than the other games on PSP. Weirdly enough, I have no idea why the later version (0.9.x) have not been supporting it lately. Sad shit if you ask me. Gr8 game.

If i skip out the AnalyzeMpeg, it can go in-game .Will check this out more in detail .

// Kinda destructive, no?
///AnalyzeMpeg(Memory::GetPointer(bufferAddr), ctx);

[brujo5]

wow.

I tested JPCSP for this game .It also cannot render this CG and stuck there and cannot in-game unless untick 'Use media engine' option

[brujo5]

media engine setting was great in ppsspp 0.6

[hrydgard]

Yeah, yeah, maybe we should reintroduce it after all, although it's not clear exactly what it should do... return errors in all mpeg/psmf calls?

[dan3840]

A great game does not work, perhaps putting the 'Media Use engine' option option the game not to run again...
Here's a video with error of the game with new builds.

[dbz400]

Should be okay now in latest buildbot

[brujo5]
