Need For Speed: Shift - FMVs and Cutscenes are broken

[Back2Life888]

What happens?

Cutscenes/FMVs are now broken. Back then, it works very nicely. Now it has some glitches. Here is a footage. https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/76780043/126932767-4414937a-e404-405a-9df0-d7ebbfe2b33b.mp4

What should happen?

The glitches shouldn't occur.

Include a GE frame capture

It happens for a split second making it impossible to record.

What are you using?

What hardware / device and operating system?

What graphics card (GPU) or mobile phone model?

GTX 1650 i7-6700

What PPSSPP version (standalone/official), and did it work before?

As far as I recall, its 1.6 I think.

Which game or games?

Need For Speed: Shift (ULUS10462)

Graphics backend (Vulkan, OpenGL, etc.)?

I tested D3D11 and Vulkan. Glitch occurs.

Seems to have started with 0b64d58?

Here's how the opening logos look in 1e5e0e2 (previous commit):

And then in 0b64d58:

Hmm .. fyi @shenweip

Im pretty sure this will be easy to fix. This is a regression. Regressions take less time to fix as Henrik could just look into older builds and transfer the code to the newer version. Right??

Yea, just to confirm, this is happening on android aswell. Both on vulkan and ogl. Tested on 1.11.2-432 and 1.11.3-842. Quite an old issue actually. Supprised it hasn't been brought up earlier, thanks for posting it.

0b64d58 (v1.10.3-1209-g0b64d58c7) fixed a typo in a recent change. If it was working for several versions before that, it might actually be that change which did it rather than the typo fix (which might've accidentally caused the breakage to be visible.)

Simply reverting that change would break #8526 again. The original change might've been #13659 or #13663.

It's also possible this was "accidentally working" before, and it's just another bug that was never fixed before, hidden by the bug fixed by the above changes.
