I also tested Gladius US version, setting the resolution in default, DIRECT3D REF (software), already at the launch comes the fateful message.
Add debug files.

I tested the game with these configurations, and with the version of the emulator Jun 14 2018.With the other settings gives me the corrupt or non-original .xbe file.
FPS Loading 1/5
I attach images and the log file

I did a second test with DIRECT3D REF (software),the black screen remains without loading.
Keeping the LLE off option, and everything else on default.
FPS loading 30/32

Do not use D3D REF software for testing, you will just get a black screen with pretty much any game you test with it anyway.

If you use HAL (hardware) and keep LLE GPU off, there is the possibility of getting better results.

[kanelakis]

Ok, I wanted to do several tests to send more results, and to show the differences.

When I start the game with the basic settings without touching anything, here is the result.

Test with version Jun 22 2018,setting default.

Does the game actually output any video or audio with these default settings? I'd like to hear how far the game gets so I can get rid of the unverified label.

[kanelakis]

Part but remains black screen costant,no audio,the fps go on 30/32.
Sometimes it does not start and gives me a non-original .xbe file, as in this case.

Still black screen I’m assuming for both messages?

[kanelakis]

Yes, always black screen as the previous post, no news.If there will be changes with the next version place photos.

[kanelakis]

Test the game with version Jul 27 2018,I played a few tricks at the start of the emulator to see if anything changed, but nothing new.
KrnlDebug.txt

[kanelakis]

Test the game with version Jul 28 2018,no news.
KrnlDebug.txt
I always use the basic settings, if there is another way let me know.

[Voxel9]

It's only been 3 days... no new commits have been added since.
Why not wait to post until the game behaviour actually changes?

[kanelakis]

Ok,then I will post as soon as there will be changes.

[kanelakis]

I would also like to test for the PAL version, I have the original game, but I can not extract the .xbe file because I do not have the right equipment, and I can not find the game on the net.
Mainly I would be interested in playing the Pal version because I'm Italian.
