PPSSPP 0.9.9 release take 2 - regressions to fix before release

[hrydgard]

OK, let's try again, the old one grew stale.

Things are starting to stabilize again, and the great compatibility improvements lately should compensate for one or two minor regressions although I hope we can minimize them. Much thanks to especially @unknownbrackets but also others for great compat work.

In this issue we collect regressions, that is, things that worked before but no longer do. These are usually really annoying for people when upgrading, for many it's more annoying than a game not working at all. So let's fix as many as possible and push a release out soon, it's been too long!
#6290 - fixed
#6295 - fixed (bug when toggling full screen)
#6592 - "fixed" - MGS peace walker stuck at loading screen
#6600 - worked around - Some games delete the savedata folder

Ridge Racer 1/2 now look correct but are considerably slower on mobile devices. Add hack or not? Non-buffered rendering or "disable slow effects" can work around it.

Um, maybe this? #6290

Still not fixed in v0.9.8-1405-gfea0a26.

Gameplay got worse from 0.9.8v #6441

(Project DIVA)

[solarmystic]

I think #6477 qualifies for this list.

EDIT:- Fixed by 86284aa

[sum2012]

Dream Club portable have problem , I remember old version do not have problem

[unknownbrackets]

Is that only with simulate block transfers? When did it start?

-[Unknown]

[sum2012]

@unknownbrackets
Not affect simulate block transfers
The problem is complex , I open it in #6497

[unknownbrackets]

It may be good to fix #6501 (GLES 3.1 detection) before 0.9.9, assuming that the K1 will be popular to some degree among gamers.

Breath of Fire 3's flickering has returned: #2759 (comment)

[Nufky]

Artifacts in the maze of "pac man championship edition" when pac man eats the vitamin...

Bug started in 0.98

[Nufky]

Tested on Galaxy S2 (Android)

[richz00]

fix #5125

[Bigpet]

@richz00 is that a regression? This issue is only there to collect things that used to work but don't work anymore.

[solarmystic]

#5125 is not a regression and does not belong here.

[thedax]

#6571 and #4808 may be worth looking into, since the game worked fine previously before the advent of func replacement, and before a certain commit by raven02 (this was before 0.9.8/7, but still).

Edit: I just did a test, and discovered that #6571 is related to #4808, so I'm going to close #6571.

[ricardorichemond]

@hrydgard any chance you'll be realeasing a fix for the bleach soul carnival game? Issue #1782 in game freezing

[hrydgard]

@ricardorichemond not likely as it has never worked. hopefully later...

[sum2012]

@hrydgard
Just remaind, rebuild font atlas, thanks.

[sum2012]

@ricardorichemond Are you using windows or Android ?

[Jordan24241]

Nascar 07 graphics are broken but no other problems. Hope that can be fixed.

[thedax]

That game has never worked correctly according to the forums, so it probably won't be fixed in 0.9.9.

[Jordan24241]

Possibly in the future I hope. :(

[ricardorichemond]

@sum2012 I've tried the game on windows, android and iphone and it doesn't work on either platform

[sum2012]

@ricardorichemond You are using windows 32 or 64 bit ?

[ricardorichemond]

@hrydgard all right thank for letting me know! Hopefully you can find a fix for this sometime in the near future

[ricardorichemond]

@sum2012 windows with a 64bit. Why?

[sum2012]

@ricardorichemond

@sum2012 I tried to open it and got "the program can't start because MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"

[sum2012]
