58410955 - Banjo-Tooie

[TranzRail]

Marketplace Tested on xenia-project/xenia@ee92f75a84

Issues:

• Frames are not being rendered at all. Believed to be a similar issue to that of Banjo-Kazooie. (#206)

Notes:

• Sound and controls work (as expected).
• Performance seems a bit slow (possibly caused by rendering issues).

Attached:

The log file and trace frame were taken before my proof of concept modification (see screenshots below).

• Xenia Log File Link
• Trace Frame (for the "stalled" frame - see last attached picture) Link

Screenshots

I did not include a screenshot of game running without my modification due it being just a black screen.

Modified ColorRenderTargetFormat (to use GL_RGB8)

I did this to see if the game would load and how it ran. Note the missing alpha channel and water texture (caused by my modification most likely).

Alpha issue with the fence here (looks like a regression): Weird repeating problem during this cutscene (the bottom portion should be black): This game also creates corrupt saves (same as https://github.com/xenia-project/game-compatibility/issues/206#issuecomment-202002754): image | save file

[DrChat]

Yeah - I've noticed that. Alpha test was mistakenly enabled before and coincidentally made this game work better.

Maybe our blend constants are wrong or something? Alpha test should be correct now, as it helps other games.

New issues since June 26 - 2016: No pad effects:

Puzzle Challenge - GFX Glitch:

Waiting... Full unlocked game option and load/save via ".bin" file.

This game only gives a black screen with sound for me in the latest nightly build dated 13-07-2016

[relu419]

Tested the version from August 03.

1. Much better in performance.
2. Error - RGB color - incorrect.
3. No fix (keep an issue) - Pad effects/Jiggysaw game.

[mcdgray129]

Still black screen issue on AMD cards.

[DrChat]

There appears to be an issue in the JIT causing the game to leave alpha tests disabled.

Callstack:

• 0x822D0F38: Sets up the alpha test @ 0x168(r31) (low 2 bits)
• 0x822CF15C: If comparison nonzero, sets the alpha ref and enables alpha testing.

[relu419]

Tested with the build of 17th - May 2017.

Random black parts. Pad without effect persists. Jigsaw Temple Game - glitch on the game - Black part.

Alpha or Camera problem with the 1.0.728-master:

[ZodaSoda]

So just curious if anyone has an update on Texture Blending, since this game is near playable, outside of Textures overlapping making sneaking areas really hard and stuff.

~Despite the low FPS on parts like Jinjo Village~ (this was due to the debug build), silo lights, tank treads, paths and other alpha textures seems to be fixed on the latest DirectX 12 commit (005e590c/Sep 25 2018).

Game shows up some incorrect alpha correction, however. Nothing major and is the only problem of the emulation from what I've tested thus far.

From the game's intro:

Specs

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600x 3.60GHz GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 1070ti 8GB RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz Windows 10 x64

[ItsIggy]

I bring tidings of good news! 😄 It appears the alpha correction has now been fixed in the d3d12 build.

Along with fixed layering issues on the fly and jump pads. 😀 Shadows still aren't quite perfect yet. 😕 (As you can see in the image below the player's shadow can get cut off if the player is standing on 2 different planes in this case Banjo's nose is cut off.) If you were to somehow get d3d12 version of the emulator with an unlimited trial it looks like the game would run near perfectly all the way through with the exception of shadows I mentioned earlier. Edit:All the issues Larxian mentioned in his previous post are fixed now!

[pedrosenedesi]

Hey guys, I opened that duplicate issue that ilusion0001 posted (sorry about that).

I can post a savefile with the levels that has audio problems unlocked, if a dev is interested in recreating the problem. I don't know how to add the apu-slow and apu-garbage labels.

[skylabhalo]

The game has massive Audio Issues when using Hyper-V it distorts the Audio only fix for me is deactivating Hyper-V. I'm also experiencing performance issues which are not related to my rig (the peeps on discord tried to tell me the audio issues and stuff is caused by my hardware but it's clearly not) I have no idea why I have bad performance in this game cause it's an N64 Game pretty much the only thing they updated was the text font and other minor tweaks. Tried the Canary also but that has the same issues. Using an AMD System with a FX-8350 and a RX5700XT I'm able to play final fantasy 7 remake integrade on highest setting and a bunch of other performance heavy stuff and I can also emulate almost every other emulator (except for Xemu and PCSX3) So yea not sure what the issue is but I guess it has something to do with AMD Drivers

[CybrNight]

I'm playing through this right now and it's nearly 100% stable through glitter gulch mine, but parts of WitchyWorld have horrible audio glitches (probably related to the apu-garbage tag on the issue) related potentially to the version of the song that plays in the cowboy themed area Areas with audio distortion effects like in WitchyWorld western area and Jolly Rogers Lagoon underwater have horrible stutter on music and sfx. Other underwater areas seem unaffected. Something about the expansiveness about these areas as earlier underwater sections are unaffected.

[skylabhalo]

Audio distortion is caused by having hyper-v enabled

[CybrNight]

I don't run Windows 10 pro. No hyper-v. Does having virtualization or WSL2 turned on affect anything?

Issues

I'm playing through this right now and it's nearly 100% stable through glitter gulch mine

Audio issues and possible small graphical bugs aside, the game should be playable all the way through. I'm not seeing any recent reports of crashing or heavy graphical glitches, so this title should be considered playable.

It still suffers from speedup when vertical synchronization is turned off, but with the default config, it seems to run perfectly.

Log

Context: The game was launched with a default config (in trial mode) loaded on save file 2, skipped the intro cutscene, and exited to title screen, then I selected "Return to Arcade" in the main menu.

Looks like the sun's rays appear through geometry. It might just be me though, because I haven't seen anyone else report this. (this also affected one of the intro cutscenes, during which it was night time)

Can confirm I'm also seeing this lens flare in weird spots, testing on 06d7a5f_canary_experimental.

Doing my testing on Steam Deck via Proton Experimental, Vulkan forced in configs.

Separate issue, I've noticed that the music for the long intro cutscene eventually de-syncs. Anyone else able to duplicate this? (Yes, it's a long cutscene to slog through that doesn't really matter)

I have the same lens flare issue; However, that cutscene music desync is a known issue of the xbox port. It was not an issue on the N64 since the lag caused the visuals to match with the music.

Oh man, good to know it's not an emulation issue but that's disappointing. It's like when I tried to play the Wii U release of Donkey Kong 64 and the cutscene timing was all whacked out.
