Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition - ULES00108

[Omar Hawk]

Ok, I did some tests with this game, and I compared the intro with v1777 and 1780:

As you can see, v1780 leaves something of the intro out. Besides, the font after the intro video seems to be wrong way round in both versions.

To compare those two versions, I added the logfile of both versions for the intro.

Besides, here is a video with ingame graphics:

As you might see, it is quite hard to play, because of those graphic bugs. Nevertheless, you could say it is "Half playable". I also added the logfile which belongs to this video. Maybe, it helps you to find problems.

One problem is, that the wrong list entry is selected in menu. For example, "Quick race" is selected, but the yellow background is one entry above, but the font of this entry becomes blue...

Another problem: Ingame music is not played at all, every song is just skipped (which you can also see in the ingame video)

Used settings (in both versions):
- Only GE graphics
- Use shaders
- Use a geometry shader...
- Enable Media Engine

My Specs:
- Win7
- Intel Core i7 930
- Nvidia Geforce 250GTS
- 6 GB RAM

Thanks for the detailed test run!
Could you please try with r1781?

The intro video is shown completely again. (Of course still without audio)

All other things didn't change.

Hmm... Are the words still flipped?

[Omar Hawk]

Yes, still the same.

What do I have to select in "Customizing Logger" to help you? I selected sceFont, but it doesn't log anything about Fonts, only something like this:

Code:

17645 [MC3Loading] TRACE hle - UNIMPLEMENTED:sceKernelDcacheWritebackAll

[Hykem]

Yes, still the same.

Hmm...
Try disabling the 2D Geometry Shader.
Those words are displayed by a GE PRIM_SPRITES command (which is handled by the VideoEngine and the new 2D Geometry Shader), that's why it doesn't show up in sceFont, and sceKernelDcacheWritebackAll doesn't need to be implemented (works with PSP's cache).
I've added those words' issue to the VideoEngine's, but I still haven't changed it in the shader.

Ah, yes, that was it. Thanks

Nice! Thanks for testing, I'll update the shader in a second.

Nice! Thanks for testing, I'll update the shader in a second.

And in r1782 it works also with 2D Geometry Shader enabled. Thank you.

Okay, new logfile, since you changed something with SFIX/DFIX:

The warning:
"UNSUPPORTED: Both different SFIX and DFIX are not supported"

disappeared with the new version. But there are no visible changes.

Therefore a new logfile on info level.
