Btw, are you loading it from save state before loading the save data?

No, not using that at all, i actually have all the track that can be downloaded on the OFFICIAL SITE (its a miracle its still up, https://gripshiftgame.com/psp/download_tracks.php) so i dont know if thats causing any issues, even if i reinstall all 25 tracks, it still says corrupted.

Jack54guythecoder avatar Jul 28 '25 23:07 Jack54guythecoder

I dont even know how i could show the log output, in order to know why the game thinks the save is corrupted.

So, what could be happening here?

On top of this, it seems like the music is stuck on a short loop and does not play fully, weird.

To start with I checked the music, since I'd really expect it to play correctly with the latest atrac changes. And indeed, there doesn't seem to be any issue at all, except that all the tracks (at least in the early game) are super repetitive, it does feel like they restart, but they don't actually - they just have lots of repetition within them.

This can be confirmed by looking at the playback state in the ImDebugger while playing, it behaves very sensibly:

Additionally, saving seems to work correctly in the European version at least - I just played a couple of levels, shut down and started again, with no issues saving or loading progress... Strange. Tested on PC and Android.

Heres my emu config file, if it helps AT ALL.

Then why does it seem to only loop a smalll sample in my machine? I will provide audio evidence later on.

Now on v1.19.3-656-gf2a3457a43, it no longer loops the music, weird.......

Are my specs bad, in that case?

I don't think this is a spec related issue. But there may be some difference with saving between US and Euro versions. As for audio, glad it works now at least, not sure what might have fixed it exactly.

Maybe related to https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/pull/20988
