I follow the message that I pressed the start button, however nothing happens.

No idea what's going on here, my best guess would be one of the XAPI functions is not being correctly intercepted.

I don't have access to this game right now, but I'll have a look after Christmas, I think it's quite easy to find.

@jarupxx Is this a duplicate of issue #280?
It's the other way around : #280 (after fixing the reported regression) became a duplicate of this issue, so that one will be closed now.

Now, it's passing away the controller error

Tested on PR #458. The controller does work properly and reaches in-game. About the missing textures, I hope it helps investigation of @blueshogun96.

Great work. This is one of my favourite Xbox games, and I am greatly interested in it. I read up on the fix for controller input issues and I'll give a few other titles a go that had the issue, such as metal slug 3.

Well, it became work controller by reconnecting. However, It is necessary to recognize the controller without reconnecting.

@LukeUsher Could you look into this?

PatrickvL on 13 May 2017

Input shouldn't be a problem anymore after the latest merge, please report if there is a problem

Tested with PR #460. Does not responded to input yet.
I reading the log, it seems that XInitDevices is called only for the function related to the input.

[0x1554] EmuXapi.cpp : EmuPatch_XInitDevices(
   dwPreallocTypeCount  : 2
   PreallocTypes        : 001A85B0
);

Hmm. Perhaps XInitDevices is still incorrect.

LukeUsher on 13 May 2017

You might already be aware of this but I found information on XInitDevices.

XBMC calls XInitDevices(0, NULL) which results in a default initialization.
MAME calls XInitDevices with a preallocated list of devices to look for.

Quantum Redshift not calls XInitDevices(0, NULL). It seems necessary to do "something" other than a default initialization.

jarupxx on 13 May 2017

Yes, same for me after PR 461 (Although this thing jaruppx referred to was based on a previous PR). Pressing on any key doesn't help to get the game past the first splash screen that I see, similar to some screens above.
