PS2 3D Pinball Space Cadet PS2 port v0.3

[jolek]

Nothing has changed for me on SCPH-75004:

There is something that I forgot to add.
When this app crashes at converting at least I can hear the music on v0.3 and on a new test build.


EDIT:

i've formatted my USB to exFAT

Wait.
My USB disk has FAT32 file system.

Wait.
My USB disk has FAT32 file system.

FAT32 and exFAT both work, though it wouldn't hurt if you tested with exFAT

 

[jolek]

Just checked a USB disk with exFAT file system.
Unfortunately with the same result...

hmm. during my testing i noticed that SOUND7.WAV appears to be the last sound file the game converts before actually starting. try this version which shows more info on the splash screens:

There is a progress with this 2nd test build.
Unfortunately it stucks at this screen:

 

[Headshotnoby]

so the game DID convert all the sound files, it's freezing somewhere in the main loop.
this next build contains splash screen messages inside the main loop to see where exactly it freezes

 

[jolek]

It freezes at this screen:

 

[Headshotnoby]

added splash screen messages to graphics Update() function

 

[jolek]

It hangs at this screen:

i think i have an idea of what might be causing it. try this build. it sets texture parameters to zero (memset GSTEXTURE structs to 0) on startup.
if it fails, i'll manage textures through a different way

Unfortunately the same message appears:

 

[Headshotnoby]

test build where gsKit TexManager code is replaced with regular vram allocation, to avoid calling gsKit_TexManager_bind()
the "3D Pinball" splash image is temporarily removed to save on vram, only text will be displayed

Theoretically I can play but unfortunately the screen is blinking and at the bottom the test messages constantly changes:

awesome! i'll get rid of the blinking text and upload a final test build tomorrow

 

[jolek]

Not only the blinking text, the whole screen is blinking.
It looks kinda like this:

Like a disco!

 

[Headshotnoby]

here's (hopefully) the final test build with the blinking screen/text gone

 

[jolek]

Unfortunately still something is wrong.
It looks like a horizontal sync problem:

 

[Headshotnoby]

oops

 

[jolek]

A little bit better:

 

[Headshotnoby]

changes to VRAM allocation
