Citra: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker - Hangs upon opening mail

[Tsus]

In the game when you open up the mailbox the screens go black and the game hangs. Music still plays in the background (slowly/stuttering).

Citra version: 2117be4

Does this still happen? there have been many changes to citra's scheduler that might have fixed the random hangs.

[estelle82]

yes, its still happening

This line is interesting:
Service.FS <Error> core\hle\service\fs\fs_user.cpp:Service::FS::OpenFileDirectly:119: failed to get a handle for archive_id=0x2345678A archive_path=[Binary:00e616008c00040001ffffff01000000]

archive_id=0x2345678A is for accessing general NCCH data, which is usually for accessing system archives. However, this game tries to access the NCCH with ID 0016e600, which is actually itself. Probably implementing a redirection to NCCH/RomFS will resolve the issue. with higher word 0x0004008C, which means the DLC content.

Oh I just found out that it doesn't actually 'hang' so to say when you open up the mail. If you wait around 2min the mail still opens.

[estelle82]

Oh my! TY very much!

[benderscruffy]

can this be close from the comment from Tsus

[MerryMage]

Does the 2 minute delay behaviour match hardware? If it doesn't, this shouldn't be closed.

[benderscruffy]

then the title should be changed as it is misleading

I made an account here simply to say that my real new3DS actually displays similar behaviour. When I open the email folder, the game hangs up for about 30 seconds (not 2 minutes), still plays the music normally, then finally opens the folder. I happened upon this discussion because I was trying to google the issue.

Edit: yep, as in the comment above, the DLC is causing this. If I remove the DLC, the issue is gone.
