This game has not been retested for a long time. Could someone please recheck it?

Thank you!

This game was tested with revision cc4e331. In terms of graphics renderer, OpenGL is essentially unplayable since character models are floating in air in cutscenes and models are not visible most of the time in-game (possibly floating offscreen, compare 5th (OpenGL) and 6th Screenshot (External Software Renderer)). Even if there aren't any options selected with OpenGL, the character models are still floating in the air. The game is playable if the user chooses the External Software Renderer as the character models are correctly on the ground instead of being on an elevated invisible plane.

With the External Software Renderer, there are two graphical glitches:

1) There are two lines (one horizontal and one vertical) that appear in the Title Screen (2nd Screenshot - shown with red arrow pointing down, 1st Screenshot - OpenGL)

2) Graphics and text shown using this backend is not as sharp in comparison to OpenGL (2nd Screenshot - Game Title appears lighter in color and not as sharp, 6th Screenshot - Text is more grainy and some letters appear lighter than the rest with the letters underlined in red)

There is also another case of the emulator not detecting the end of a video correctly. As you can see in the log, I waited five minutes before pressing the Start button in order to get the game to proceed.

Code:

The graphical style of this game doesn't seem to work well with upscaling (seems similar to Digimon Adventure). In terms of comparison between OpenGL (Screenshot 7, 9, & 10) and the External Software Renderer (Screenshot 8 & 11), there are positives and negatives for each graphics renderer.

OpenGL - Better at environments, character models still appear to be in 1x resolution, unusual lines may appear on the character (shown with red arrow)

External Software Renderer - Outlines appear for most objects in the environment, character models are upscaled better to match chosen resolution, random lines appear in the environment

From the profiler, this game is displaying a lot using skinning (GU_WEIGHTS):

Code:

GU_TEXTURE_32BITF|GU_COLOR_8888|GU_VERTEX_32BITF|GU_WEIGHT_16BIT|GU_WEIGHTS(4)|GU_TRANSFORM_3D size=32: used 4172675 times in PRIM, average 70.2 per GE list
GU_TEXTURE_32BITF|GU_COLOR_8888|GU_VERTEX_32BITF|GU_WEIGHT_16BIT|GU_WEIGHTS(3)|GU_TRANSFORM_3D size=32: used 1423600 times in PRIM, average 24.0 per GE list

I need to review this part in the OpenGL renderer to probably resolve the "floating characters" issue.

There is also another case of the emulator not detecting the end of a video correctly. As you can see in the log, I waited five minutes before pressing the Start button in order to get the game to proceed.

I've added a small improvement to scePsmfPlayer in ddedd7b. If it doesn't help, I would need to log with "hle.scePsmfPlayer" at the debug level...

Thank you!

Videos are able to end correctly on its own when I tested the game with revision f6e6ba6. On OpenGL, the floating characters issue has been fixed as well. Although the performance could use some improvement in some maps, the game is considered playable on either graphics renderer.

The videos start and stop correctly in the game, but this warning appears after the end of each video with varying addresses.
