Cxbx-reloaded: (Test these) Titles, which shouldn't regress !!!

[PatrickvL]

UPDATE 2017-08-22 : Compatibility reports are moved to a separate project : https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/game-compatibility/issues

---

The following titles should be tested regularly to prevent unnoticed regressions.

Titles are grouped by best known state, currently known issues are noted in a comment.

NOTE : PLEASE post separate issues per title - I'll try to regularly reflect updates to these in this list.

States

|State|Meaning|
|:---|:---|
|Perfect|Functions identical to real hardware, no observable issues|
|Working|Usable with minor issues not preventing gameplay/functioning of the title|
|Playable|Partially working, but has serious issues that prevent progression/use of important features|
|Interactive|Shows menus, responds to input, but main functionality does not work|
|Booting|Shows visuals like splash screens, logos, intros, etc and/or has audible effects, but does not progress further|
|Crashes|Crashes during startup, no visual or audible output|
|Unresponsive|Hangs during startup|
|LTCG|Title uses Linked-Time-Code-Generation, which cannot be HLE'ed, will require LLE|
|Unverified|Unverified prior state, possibly regressed|

[LukeUsher]

Smashing Drive is an interesting one, it seems to be dependant on what graphics hardware is used. On my laptop with duel graphics, it crashes when using either the Intel or AMD GPU, however on my desktop running on NVIDIA, it actually boots. It doesn't run properly and graphics is heavily corrupted but it boots.

As a note: a few of these titles require game specific hacks to get running, they were broken by removing many of them, as I would like to avoid such hacks.

[PatrickvL]

@LukeUsher if it's not too much trouble, it'd be best if all game specific hacks are marked with an ifdef - that way, hacks don't get lost but regular builds still wouldn't contain them. Keeping information around at this stage, even when they're hacks, is still valuable - at least until we've reached a more advanced level of emulation that won't require suchs hacks anymore.

[LukeUsher]

To my knowledge there are no game specific hacks left in the Database, they were all removed many months back

[PatrickvL]

Okay, but what about source code?

[LukeUsher]

It will be somewhere in the version control history, most per game hacks weren't documented either, they just had // GAME NAME around them. Mostly they were there to skip certain exceptions

[Ale100000]

what build was smashing drive playable? tried older builds,tried 0.0.1 POC and none of them work

[LukeUsher]

I have never actually had smashing drive playable in Cxbx myself, it was playable in one of blueshoguns versions way before 64-bit was fixed and way before I even started working on emulation

[PatrickvL]

Regarding game specific hacks - in the Dxbx port I've kept them around but marked them all with an identifier. Don't remember which, but at least this could be used as a lead.

EDIT: Dxbx contains a GAME_HACKS_ENABLED define to mark game specific hacks.

[LukeUsher]

No changes there for Nickelodeon Party Blast and Simpsons Road Rage, this is the same behavior they always had. so thankfully, they haven't regressed

[LukeUsher]

@furrya: did you install the dashboard? It needs to be ran from "%APPDATA%\Cxbx-Reloaded\EmuDIsk\Partition2" in order to function, as it expects to find its files on the emulated HDD, rather than directly on the D: partition.

Also about Futurama, do you know what version you are using? I have been testing with the PAL release. In the game folder there should be a set of files names FutPALXX.img, or FutNTSCXX.img.

[PatrickvL]

@LukeUsher Could you create separate issues for Nicklodeon Party Blast and Simpsons Road Rage, please?

[BenNottelling]

Turok suffers from black textures and when you go underwater the rendering goes black (other than the weapon you are holding)

[blueshogun96]

@BenNottelling that issue with Turok goes FAR deeper than that. Cxbx tends to have trouble emulating post processing effects (largely due to render target issues), and Turok uses it to simulate the underwarter effect, heat wave distortion, motion blur, etc. The same issue that JSRF has when you get 10 spray cans and use boost mode. If you use cheats and go to level 6, you'll get the same issue. I once tries stepping through the draw calls one by one on my old branch, and everything else was rendering fine, but the post processing effect was stopping everything else from showing up.

@PatrickvL I tried running Azurik again, but could not get the same result for some reason. I'll create a new issue for it in just a moment.

Shogun.

[blueshogun96]

Okay, a handful of titles have regressed for me

1. Turok: There's a broken HLE signature somewhere. Uncomment the breakpoint in D3D::BlockOnTime() and follow the stack trace to find out what it is. This appears to happen on XDK 4627 titles.
2. Outrun 2: It just crashes for me, nothing else. No exception code.
3. Panzer Dragoon ORTA: Tries to reboot to the dashboard.
4. Panzer Dragoon: Same as above
5. Gun Valkyrie: Same as above
6. Xbox Dashboard (3944): Doesn't work anymore for me, simply tries to reboot to the error screen.
   7: Antz Extreme Racing: Just repeats the infinite error message of (0xFE820010) [Unknown address]. It's audio hardware related.
7. Slam Tennis: Used to reach the menus, but not anymore.

There's probably more, but I just tested a handful of titles and found out that several titles that were doing something (or doing more) before suddenly aren't with this build.

Shogun

[PatrickvL]

We're trying to avoid misuse of this issue tracker as some sort of a forum, so please try to be concrete in posts, by mentioning explicit build numbers, attaching screenshots or otherwise, and try to refrain from verbose "story telling" kind of writing. Use our gitter.im channels for that.

As for the issues you found, it'd be great if you could pick up development, as we're in dire need of more capable devs! So, please, just start, and try to keep us informed. Thanks in advance!

@blueshogun96 : I've contacted you via Google hangout.

[ObiKKa]

OK. To either blueshogun or other testers reading this, keep in mind that you can now test and make new issues on this github group for the following games:
OK, _Zapper_ has an issue as stated below.

Do please test _Conflict: Desert Storm_ and _Conker: Live and Reloaded_ with the latest masters. This comment may be deleted later on (Or I will when these issues are put up).

Also, @PatrickvL, can you link up a new Turok issue page up above. The old issue is closed now. BTW, a few days ago I could then get in-game there.

• Edit (27/07/2017. Oops.): Can you now upgrade the Alien vs. Predator PC modified port to in-game or playable (that issue #332 is closed)?
  Add the MK 1 DLC (For Mortal Kombat Deception. Issue #525.) here and in playable status.

[PatrickvL]

@ObiKKa I saw your edit (incorrectly dated 27/12/2017) just by chance - github apparently doesn't notify us of edits. Next time, please post reminders as new messages. I've moved #332 to the playable section and added a [HOMEBREW] indicator.

[BenNottelling]

Xbox dashboard 5659 and above use the D3D8LTCG library although I imagine some versions before this will as well, the latest version I've found that doesn't use D3D8LTCG is 4920 meaning any version before this should work fine.
Xbe.txt

[rozniak]

Hey guys, I've been doing tests on some games the past few days to see if there's any to add to this list. There is a few so far that don't output anything but they do hang around for a while with a bunch of output to the console during the black screen, and they come up with different errors that I don't see on the issues page after a search. Would you like a report for this list just to confirm which ones don't do anything or whatever? I have done:

Timesplitters 2 (this one came up with "Unsupported format 0x31")
Timesplitters: Future Perfect
Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding
Midtown Madness 3
Group S Challenge

(All of these are XBE_REGION_ELSEWHERE)

I see Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee is in your unverified list, does this need testing? I have a copy I can use if needed.

[PatrickvL]

If a report doesn't state anything specific, it's no use. Otherwise use your own judgement.

[BenNottelling]

@cybergear791 please create a separate issue for each game

[BSoD38]

Galleon (PAL) is a booting title. It works up to the loading screen, where it crashes at about a quarter of its loading progress. Graphics are mostly fine, apart from strangely coloured waves in the backdrop, as well as strange squares that pop-up sometimes on the HUD.

[PatrickvL]

This list is now moved into a separate project : https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/game-compatibility/issues

Closing this.
