Hello guys, having a lot of free time lately I managed to perform a through regression test for this game saving issue which affects only players starting this game from 0. After analyzing a couple of automatic builds providers which include Emunewz, orphis buildbot and EmuCR, I noticed that only EmuCR still holds the builds of r2900 to r2999.
I also tested build 3090 which qhuy2401 stated that might have solved the problem, but he was wrong.
Also, I need to mention that not all revisions were built by EmuCR, they basically built from SVN once per day, and also some builds had already been deleted from their hosting sites.
All this said, I began my test and I managed to narrow it down to revisions between 2971 and 2975, with first one from the interval working (r2971) and the last one (r2975) broken. Revisions 2972, 2973 and 2974 had never built by EmuCR. I also had access to the commits descriptions of all revisions between 2972 to 2975 in the r2975 build download page available here. Note: Only the sendspace mirror is still working for downloading r2975 build. As it can be seen from commits descriptions list, r2974 is the primary suspect of being the first broken build.
For those who want to start a new game all they have to do is to get r2971 build available hrere or an older build from jpcsp.org, play until they can save, then update to the latest build keeping ms0/PSP/SAVEDATA from the old version.
I attached some useful information:
- screenshot of JPCSP 0.6.2971 saving successfully;
-screenshot of JPCSP 0.6.2975 being unable to save;
- a log file from JPCSP 0.6.2975.
