The Guided Fate Paradox [BLUS31312]

[ssshadow]

I'd settle for getting the intro back never mind it going in game!

It works for me, check your settings:

It is very important that log level is set to nothing.

Thanks Mr S, I'll check tonight.

It's much appreciated.

Well with those settings the opengl windows open, nothing happens left it 10 minutes. So turned the logging back on and am getting a "alBufferData: OpenAL error 0xa002". This is using the latest automatic build.

Thanks.

I think there should be another error before the openal error loop.

Good news, saving works! Open the (invisible) menu with triangle, and it is the third option from the bottom. Here you can see the created files.

   

Other findings: You can trigger the same z-fighting issue as Disgaea 3:

   

And the missing sprites can be seen in the rsx debugger.

Heres the last bit of the log, thanks.

If you can get sound (or rather, no errors) in other games, like Disgaea 3, I don't really know why you have that error. Perhaps someone else knows?

Just use OpenAL Soft binaries:
1. download OpenAL Soft binaries from kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html#download
2. rename soft_oal.dll to OpenAL32.dll
3. copy OpenAL32.dll to rpcs3\bin (from Win32 for x86 or from Win64 for x64)

Well it get's further using Oils suggestion, but, I think I've found the problem, I appear to have lost every path I'd set in the VSH. Well sod that, I can't remember them all. Unless there's an easy way of recreating them?

Thanks.

You could just put the entire game in "\Rpcs3\dev_hdd0\game\BLUS31312\USRDIR\PS3_GAME" (and yes, there will be another USRDIR in "USRDIR\PS3_GAME", but whatever, it works for me)

Yep, that worked!

If you try to actually play the game and advance the story you will fairly quickly reach a point where it will always hang due to:

Unrelated to that, performance is fantastic. I get around 6 fps in inside areas, which would easily be 60 on a recompiler.

It doesn't work, I have only a black screen when I run this game!!! Help

You may have to decrypt all those EDAT files using npdtoolv4c under /dev_hdd0/game/BLUS30181/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/Data

or wait until the automatic decryption with compression implemented later.
