Super Mario War

PS3 Super Mario War 1.8_12

Hi, thanks for the feedback.
@IMMORTAL_TuF @JediKnight007 I have some questions for you: Which console model are you playing on? CFW or HEN? Which firmware version?

I'm asking you this because you were the only two to report freezing problems and I've never had them playing on 4.84 and 4.85 with HEN on a SuperSlim.
 

I rember playing this on the wii, but it was freezing so much, so I ended up downloading it on ps3. I was very happy with the D-Pad support (I had old r3 version at the time) but it seems confused, sometimes it don't read the inputs at all. The pink texture thing is now almost fully gone. I don't know if this is too much to ask for, but I need the music. The game will feel much more better with it. It feels empty. I have experienced a few crashes, I had to reset the console. Thanks

Same here. Sometimes the character just stops moving. Maybe too many inputs at once? I also agree on the music. It feels so empty and I don't know how to fix it :(

:D
 
I still can't get to reproduce these errors (console freezing/crashing and bad inputs) even though I played the game with 3 other friends and had no problems. The music issue seems to be an issue with one of the compiler libraries that is in charge of decoding sounds, it seems to fail to decode .ogg music files, but it tries to decode .wav files (with a lot of glitching). I don't have the knowledge to rewrite or fix a library, and I still don't fully understand how the game plays the music (I've already tried some things to force it to play the music in other ways and failed) so for now there's not much I can do.

I agree with you, the music makes it a lot better, but until I figure this out or someone that knows better comes offering help there's not much I can do.
 
Same here, after a few mins playing on Hen the game freezes. Try playing with a bot to see if that will reproduce errors.
 
So can anyone tell me how to turn the music on? I'm not sure if it is available in the files anyway :D
Can anyone tell me what to do?

Thank you very much and have a great weekend!

Awesome update. The music is decent, I like it. It would be nice if you could upgrade it once, but the game is much better with music. I think that the game will freeze on every system now :nevreness:.

Nice update, it would be great to see more.

Here are some possible things to upgrade.

The Music (It is decent, but if it is possible, why not)

Crashes (probably when playing with bots, I think that it should be possible but let me know)

D-Pad, when you do multiple inputs, it gets confused.

Thanks for the update :encouragement:

Hey, 1st of all thank you for the port, i love this game.
2nd i think i fixed the audio problem on your port, don't ask me why but by converting the music multiple times like from mp3 to WAV and then to OGG it made the music sound like it should on Ps3
I was trying to post the files i already tested but i can't post links here. :apologetic:

Hi, that's good to hear, I tried OGG but I still didn't work for me so that's weird, but it may have been the broken build with dead sound that I had before, maybe with the new build with sound fixed the OGG files work better.

@sandungas can you let him post links so he can share the audio files? Thanks!
 
It's a very weird combination of convertions, 1st I got the songs in mp3 from youtube, then i tried to open it with Audacity and it said it couldn't open cuz it was a RAW file, then i converted the mp3 file to WAV with a program called EXPStudio audio editor and only then i open it on audacity and convert it to Ogg and it worked. :pride:

Changelog for 1.8_r8:
  • New remastered music and sfx imported from https://github.com/mmatyas/supermariowar (music still crackles though).

I've been looking for fixes for the awful music playback and I concluded that it's very likely that the issue comes from SDL_Mixer and it being...

blckbear_ updated Super Mario War with a new update entry:

Super Mario War 1.8_r9 - Sound quality fixed!

Changelog for 1.8_r9:
  • The music now plays with no distortion. The music playback system had to be rewritten for this, so bugs and slightly longer loading times are expected.
  • The remastered music and sfx had to be downsampled to 22050Hz for the music playback fix and to improve loading times (this also reduces the installation size to roughly what it was before which is nice).
  • Small Makefile fixes.
