Confirm that MK gold sektor "compactor" fatality as well other "exploding" related fatalities semi crash the emu (action freeze until next fight) using reicast-20140221_519.apk

I want to know if devs are seeing this topic somehow because I have noticed a drop on perfomance since R5 things go slower and frameskip works REALLY bad on this emu any chance the devs could check it?
[Shield General] stylesclash88:
Checked the whole thread and didn't find any feedback on these games:

-record of lodoss

-floigan brothers

-fur fighters

-tee off golf 2

-any of the nfl 2k or nba 2k games

Granted they're not massive releases, like sonic or shemnue, but i'd still love to know if any of these games run perfectly.
[Shield General] keefged4:
Record of Lodoss war has multiple freezes at certain points which work when you switch to interpreter. Almost unplayable when you get to the underground canyon as it freezes at random points.
[Shield General] rushless:
Tee Off does not work.
[Shield General] rag66628:
I'd advise strongly to check compatibility sheets first might save you some time :) . Floigan Bros did not work a few weeks ago. Only Audio was present as I recall. Cheers.
[Shield General] hooby3dfx:
r6 is out and on the play store! please uninstall beta versions and run that version so we can be aware of any issues with the public release.

this thread is great and has the best compatibility info there is. the official compatibility wiki is coming soon! hopefully that can be one central place for all this great info to go, and we wont need to worry about maintaining posts/credits/spreadsheets.

thank you!

[Shield General] hooby3dfx:
I think that is an issue with either your shield or the copy of the game you have.

are you using stock shield android? no overclocking etc?

what version/region of the game do you have?

what version/region dreamcast bios?

Virtua Striker not playable on official r6 while that beta seem to work well.
[Shield General] Neodreamer24:
Thanks. It could be the game. I use pal but Spanish text patched. I will try English standard version.

Thanks

Edit: I have another strange problem. When I saved in the game. It work before o lo the first time y load or continue. Before the file is in the vmu but the game don't load it...

Why did ricardo stop updating the beta builds? No update since 2/24
[Shield General] Neodreamer24:
I have solved my shenmue problems.

It was the version of the game... If I use pal English version... Works but if I use pal Spanish patched it fail... (cry).

About the save game, if I close reicast without save the game, after it, will not load... (it sounds logical but not).

I can only load game only doing this process. Sorry for my bad English.

If I have a save and start the game, I can load it, but if after it I close reicast, the save don't work... I have to save all the times before close reicast.

Is it a bug of vmu emulation? Or not?

Thanks

If somebody have working Spanish version of shenmue without problems, please tell me. Thanks a lot

I've been using r6 found on Google play and I'm having a problem with Skies of Arcadia. I've been experiencing a glitch with every Cut-Scene. :( It quickly show a corrupted Stat like page in the beginning of every cut scene including the battle intro. Anyone else?? :confused:

Also is there a button for quick save states? or is it only in game saves?

moga pro

Moga pro l and r works. Use pivot and make sure its on b. Choose your moga as port 1 go into hardware mapping. It should already be mapped. There is 2 things at the top of the screen compatibilty mode and custom key layout enable both of these and you will have l and r working. Its a fix for now it does turn the d pad and analogue to the same thing but at least it works.

restarting the phone

My phone was on android 4.3 and everything was working fine with the emulator but after I updated the device to 4.4.2, randomly when I try to run a game, sometimes it restarts the phone. In San Francisco Rush 2049 this problem ALWAYS happens before starting the race & sonic adventure (pal) when select refresh rate.

Note: I tested with all official & unofficial builds to see if this problem appeared only in some more rescente version or if it's a problem with 4.4.2 and found that in all of them the problem happens.

My device: Galaxy note 3 SM N9005 (Snapdragon 800)

There anyone else here is having the same problem?
[Shield General] r0c0:
Virtua Striker worked in debug R5 but did have some graphical glitches on my device (Hannspad, tegra2) and as said it does not run in R6 (Boots bios and black screen if you press play icon).

Some Games i tried (all PAL)

-Shenmue: just wow...runs very well already and this seems as one of the most graphical advanced games for dreamcast.

-DOA 2: loads up everything but crashes after you pick a fighter.

-Mortal Kombat Gold: besides problems running the eurocom developer intro vid it runs really well.

-Marvel VS Capcom 2: still has graphical glitches just as R5 had, speed seems ok.

-House of The Dead 2: won't boot.

-Fighting Vipers 2: works perfectly

-Dynamite Cop: unplayable because of missing graphics

-Zombie Revenge: playable but also missing some graphics/colors.

-Crazy Taxi 2: works well

-Virtua tennis 2: works well

-Rival Schools 2: works well

-South Park Rally: just as nulldc on pc, you can't see the menu or character screen although you can still navigate trough it, in game runs perfect (ps it takes more time to boot)

So far so good on my NVIDIA Shield using official r6, but on latest beta builds there are random crashes plus L and R Triggers are not working :confused:

[Shield General] rylen:
I'm not complaining sir, sorry if I gave you the wrong impression. I'm just reporting what is not working on the latest build. I think what you're doing is really awesome. I still can't believe that I can now play Dreamcast games on the go :)

So far the only game that I tested that's not working for me is Silver in .CDI format (reads as an audio CD). I apologize for my English, it's not my native language.

For those of you who have play SoA to disk 2, How the hell did you pull that off?? :confused:

Without save states in the emulator or the ability to put the app on stand by without losing progress how did you guys make it so far?

I started playing last week and after about 2 hours of gameplay I closed my shield screen for about a min to go get a drink then when I opened the screen I realize I was back in the Reicast Game browser menu :crying:

I Losted all Game progress till my last in game save state, its was like playing on a TV back at home (no standby option) :(

So how are you guys playing RPG on Reicast??
[Shield General] omninmo:
ok so there's nothing I'd like better than being able to play my good ol' DC games on the go, but for the life of me I can't get the emu to work??

Ive tried both my oppo find 5 (Snapdragon S4, Adreno 320) and my chinese tablet (Yuandao N70 - dual core a9 Mali 400) and both of them i get the same problem..

Trying to start either a game or the BIOS i immediately get thrown back to menu or the app crashes to homescreen..

Can anyone maybe give me a couuple of pointers?

1- am already running from internal memory

2- i have dc_boot and dc_flash in the proper directory, used to have that error but not anymore

3- after much fiddling with options and builds there was a certain combo that would show the dreamcast logo but immediately after that, same thing, back to menu or homescreen

:(
[Shield General] Lv.99 Kelolon:
You say you're on the S 4? I have the same device, tri band model and it works fine. Aside from the occasional crash and phone restart. Are you certain you have the right BIOS files? It's odd for that to happen across two devices so to me it sounds like user error. Also have you tried different beta versions?

*edit*

Just noticed you said Oppo Find 5 with a snapdragon S4. Not a Samsung Galaxy S4. But my hunch remains the same. Although now I suspect compatibility could be an issue.

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

Just for future reference, is the latest compiled beta build list going to be updated any further? I only ask because since the release of r6 I haven't seen a new one posted since March 2nd and that beta version doesn't work at all for me(Probably for a good reason unbeknownst to me, so obviously I don't use that one.) I was kind of having fun for awhile testing the bi-weekly versions. So am I just impatient as hell or are they official only after r6? Or is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate all your hard work. I know how long this emulator has been in the making because I was waiting for it to be released as nulldce, and have scoured the internet for information for the last year or so. So words cant really describe how excited I am about all of this.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

Dedication, luck and regular backtracking to save points. Before it switches to the "insert disc 2" screen it should ask you to save your game progress in a save menu. Then you boot the second disc and load it. It's not as seamless as disc swap but it should work. Also if you want help getting the Skies of Arcadia DLC on your VMU, I have the files saved. So you can just PM me or reply back. That's a great game.

Just so people know, When you close the lid while playing Reicast, upon opening the lid you are welcomed with a black screen.

DO NOT EXIT REICAST!! to fix just double tap home to open Recent Apps and select Reicast and your back to playing! No progress loss :P
[Shield General] esmith13:
I have this exact same issue on my Galaxy S4 AT&T (stock 4.2.2 MDL Rooted) but I also have it working perfectly on my nVidia Shield using the same bios files and cdi/gdi/chd images. It's driving me instane that I can't figure out the problem. I've rebooted, reinstalled, uninstalled/cleaned cache/reinstalled - all to no avail on my Galaxy S4. I know the device is compatible because others use it and I know my Bios files and game images are fine too because they work on the shield.

I wish I could get this to work but no errors are being generated even when using the debug plugin no issues are detected nor error logs created. in my case 95% of the time the screen goes black and the app closes to home screen regardless of choosing boot bios or a game. the other 5% of the time it goes black and comes back to the game browser screen.

You are not alone, my friend...

EDIT: If it helps any I just realized I can't even go to the input settings and customize touch controls. That kicks me out as well...

EDIT #2: According to an Admin on the Reicast forums this exact type of crash is due to incompatibility with certain kernels on Android devices. In my case, a GS4 running 4.2.2 MDL. I was told that upgrading my kernel MAY solve the issue, as may a future Reicast update...
[Shield General] dani_00:
Hi all!

I've been using Reicast since its very start and it is like a dream come true. How amazing it is to have such power in our pockets nowadays!

So, I have been playing a lot Skies of Arcadia in my phone, as you don't need any hard combinations of keys (like fighting games, for example).

There have been a couple of times where the game would crash like 50% of times in some specific areas, especially before cutscenes, but I always managed to overcome those by trying again. BUT, now it crashes all the time after the battle in the Rixis temple. After defeating Rik'Talish there is a sequence of cutscenes and when the battle with The Cygnus is supposed to start, the game always crashes...

Has anyone had the same problem? I am using the NTSC version of the game and when I tried to use the PAL version to see if it would make the crash go away the saves are not compatible...

Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

Hello ppl. I successfully rooted the phone, but after that PC doesn't recognise it as Media device and only as camera interface.

I've had some problems with my rooting, and want to start fresh by returning the whole phone to stock. I already know how to relock and unlock the bootloader and root my phone, but the problem I'm trying to understand is getting back to complete stock. My phones is S-On and the current ROM version is 2.26.401.3. I've seen that If you relock the bootloader and run the RUU the problem is solved. However, I can't use the RUU as the HTC Dev website has older versions and of course using an older ROM version doesn't work at all. How do I return the system and recovery back to what they were? I've been looking for hours, and I'm afraid that If I keep messing with this phone I will brick it.

What could work is if I found the boot.img, system.img and recovery.img files that I could fast boot over, but I tried that before using someone elses files and It messed things up.

This is the very similar procedure I followed but with my Wildfire S instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g5gEf2wgS4

Adding "Best" to your title does not warrant a new thread

Threads would also be closed if someone made a new thread for "Best" battery life when there is a battery life thread

Another example would be "Best" 4.3 features...would be directed to the existing 4.3 discussion thread.

Can all of you people with "perfect" displays and viewing angles post picture of your device at an angle if you were look at it from a table and other angles.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM THE FRONT and say "oh well I look it from the front all the time." I view my device on the table 1/4 time. So this is an issue. Don't get me wrong I love this device.

MINE IS BAD. I know there are threads similar like this but you people NEVER back up your claim of it being perfect and saying "I don't have that issue."

WELL PLEASE POST PICTURES OF A LOT OF ANGLES! PLEASE AS PROOF!

I'm trying to investigate this issue because I'm reading the display on this device is the BEST DISPLAY EVER. I don't believe this is true at all. MKBHD has this issue too. I add this device for a week and I know I have only 15 days before it's too late to get a new one and not a "refurbished" one.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
If you perceive it as an issue you might want to go with the next badass $350 off contract device available... This is something that is mentioned in almost EVERY review video I've seen, but I don't read my screen from an angle and don't see it as an "issue".

good day.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragn4rce:
I've only seen two videos point this out and I hoped it would be a defect. All the others out said this display is "perfect" and so on etc.

I want to see the pictures from the people who claim the "perfect" display and says "I dont have that when I look at mine from an angle."

Cuz I've seen plenty who claims that in just one thread involving this issue. Yeah it's a low priced device, but we all know Google doesn't really make money off this device at all, it's the services your using and the ads you see when your using it that pays them back.

I just want to see the pictures of those who claims their device is perfect.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemw:
Reviewers may test extreme viewing angles for comparison but generally evaluate the quality when viewing the display head-on in the manner most people view the device while it's held in normal use. Mind's perfect, but I could not very well use it if held at a 90° angle.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragn4rce:
Galaxy Nexus. Yah i know blah blah blah blah saturated. I deal with a HTC ONE too. I actually ENJOY the display on the ONE more then my Galaxy Nexus. THAT display is GORGEOUS! I wish I could just tear it off and use the ONE's display instead lol. Or at least get the viewing angle it gets.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
Heh, I wanna say galaxy nexus. Which I also came from as well. Galaxy nexus amoled panel blows chunks next to the n5.

On topic: Since you forced me to sorta care, I got to lookin at the angles. When I got directly up/down/left/right it performs as well as an ips display should with solid color at extreme angles. But on the diagonals of the extremes i.e. (Right/down) I noticed that's when the back light washout would be visible. I suspect it has something to do with any type of polarization that has been applied to the glass.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBeerdroiDx:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Have you ever noticed how every review tests viewing angles from a straight angle? That's the standard and probably for good reason.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
Mine wishes out when I look at it diagonally and off-axis. There's only minimal washing out from the top, bottom, and sides, unlike what you're seeing. I'll try to track down a another camera and take a couple photos to show you.

EDIT: Here you go. As you can see, there's some washing out at extreme angles (mostly from the diagonal), but it's nowhere near as bad as you're experiencing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragn4rce:
Which is why it's bad for viewing on tables like I said. Because your viewing it from diagonal perspective a bit. Left and right and up and down are Barrable. It's not TOOO bad. Of the diagonals were the same I'd be OK with this.

I wanna know if this is a Screen lottery (every device has this but some worst then others), which is why I requested pictures from the "perfect" people. If I see that they are having even a significantly better display compared to mine(I know IPS displays get washed out at angles but mine is HORRIBLE), then I wanna call Google and get a new one and compare those too.

I've yet to be able to compare my Nexus 5 to another. Probably tomorrow I'll go into a T-Mobile or Sprint retailer and compare (hopefully it isn't bright in the room because it's harder to tell the difference).

Stock kernel, no color adjustments. I've never used max brightness on any device. I'm at roughly 1/3 brightness and it's still plenty bright for me.
