At this point, the screen goes black with background sound. Fails with Vulkan and OPENGL.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Oreo 8.0.0 Exynos.

I've tried it with versions of (...) and in both it gives that error. ppsspp-v1.9.2-16-g360e138c2-android.apk ppsspp-v1.8.0-645-ge05193a67-android.apk

Attached I attach the file PPSSPP STATE;

Have you verified the disc CRC? Does this also happen on other platforms, such as Windows?

How do I check the CRC?

I tried and without tricks (infinite life + infinite ammo) and getting to that point goes black.

You can use tools like these, but it's generally easier to do on a desktop:

But you can also report compatibility inside PPSSPP, and your CRC will show up here:

https://report.ppsspp.org/game/ULUS10435_1.01

You can also see other user's CRCs. It looks like there are a lot of bad rips floating around - I'd suggest ripping it again from your disc if possible, but if your CRC matches 2477F41C, EB35E3D6, or 4177DE49 you're probably using a good disc. Anything else means you have a bad disc.

Captura

This is what got me. Bad copy?

Unfortunately I do not have that game in UMD, i mean original and therefore I can not make a perfect copy. So I have had to download it from the Internet.

Looks like you're using a bad dump of the game. Try applying the patch written in the screenshot (probably requires a PC) or using a different dump of the game (eg European version). kép

Thanks for the answer.

I'm having a hard time finding that file, or you can't download it (it's just information) or the link is down. I'll see if I can find him.

Sounds like this isn't a bug in PPSSPP but is a problem with your copy of the disc. We can't really help you if you no longer have the original disc. That said, depending on where you live, it looks like there are used versions of the game available for purchase fairly cheap in some regions.

I'm going to close this issue. If you find that exactly the same issue happens even with a good iso, then comment here and we'll reopen.

I just tested it on two smartphones (Samsung Galaxy NOTE 8 SM-N950F Exynos and Alcatel 3 2019) and on both of them it gives the same problem. Getting to that point the screen stays black with sound. Clearly it is the problem of the emulator, because I have already tried different iso's both EUR and USA and at all it gives exactly the same problem.

I'll leave you this video just before it stopped working.

Ok finally reach the area of the black screen and guess what I can also reproduce this in software rendering.

The dump renders fine until the very last moment when it just draws a solid black untextured triangle all over the screen. Vertex color is 0,0,0,1 and src/invsrc alpha blending, so it indeed just turns black. Bizarre! Might be a CPU-side bug of some sort, hard to say...

Can you send me a save point where that area gets black screen?

here we go... COBRA_STATE.zip

Even interpreter and software renderer won't help.

Could you take a frame dump from right before it goes black? Could be interesting to compare them

I tried the Europe region of this game still no luck tried also different settings and compat.ini :(

ghost avatar Oct 13 '22 12:10 ghost

In that case we should probably be looking at logs for Mpeg/Psmf issues rather than the frame dumps.
