Gladiator Begins [ULUS-10528]

[BinarySlave]

Fully playable (30 FPS) [rev2156]
PC: i5-750@stock | Geforce GTS250 | Win7 64Bit | Java 32Bit

Settings:
-Video
Use vertex cache
Use shaders
Enable dynamic shader generation

-Media
Use Media Engine
Decode audio with SonicStage
Use non-native fonts [using original PSP font]

Note:
1st screenshot shows how it looks without using "non-native fonts".

EDIT:
REMOVED Enable VAO from recommended settings.
After playing a little longer it shows that some textures of items are not loaded in the shop. Disabling this feature solves this issue.

Could you post a DEBUG log up to the first pause?

Thanks!

Hmmm, we will then need to be more specific...
dan83 found out that the issue is related to scePsmfPlayer.
Could you add the following lines to LogSettings.xml and keep the INFO log level:

Code:

<logger name='compiler'> <level value='debug' /> </logger>
<logger name='hle.scePsmfPlayer'> <level value='debug' /> </logger>
<logger name='hle.sceMpeg'> <level value='debug' /> </logger>
<logger name='hle.scePsmf'> <level value='debug' /> </logger>

Thank you!

ok here is the new info log with the 4 added lines

Code:

40139   movie_video   DEBUG   hle.scePsmfPlayer   scePsmfPlayerGetCurrentStatus returning status 0x4  
40139   movie_video   DEBUG   hle.scePsmfPlayer   scePsmfPlayerUpdate psmfPlayer=0x8A9DC80  
40139   movie_video   DEBUG   hle.scePsmfPlayer   scePsmfPlayerGetVideoData psmfPlayer=0x8A9DC80, videoDataAddr=0x09F57A80  
40172   movie_audio   DEBUG   hle.scePsmfPlayer   scePsmfPlayerGetCurrentStatus psmfPlayer=0x8A9DC80  
40172   movie_audio   DEBUG   hle.scePsmfPlayer   scePsmfPlayerGetCurrentStatus returning status 0x200

Problem in scePsmfPlayerGetVideoData when reaching the end of the video should be fixed in r2758.

Thank you to dan83 for spotting it!
