tested on 988e2fc5caae5a4b693d285e578fd2362c91e558
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.

[PatrickvL]

@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

When hardware video mode is enabled strange error appears in this game

But, when I have run it's with harware video mode off, the game gets to the white screen now after the title

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.

[PatrickvL]

@LukeUsher Could you look into this?

[PatrickvL]

_From @LukeUsher on May 13, 2017 8:29_

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

[PatrickvL]

_From @jarupxx on May 13, 2017 10:24_

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
);

_From @LukeUsher on May 13, 2017 10:36_

Hmm. Perhaps XInitDevices is still incorrect.

[PatrickvL]

_From @jarupxx on May 13, 2017 11:51_

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.
http://coinopsproject.freeforums.org/trackballs-for-dummies-help-with-coinops-3-t94-20.html

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

_From @ObiKKa on May 13, 2017 20:55_

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.

[PatrickvL]

_From @jarupxx on May 15, 2017 22:44_

Tested with PR #469. The controller is fully working now. Resolved by PR 460, 465, 469. Great work!

[jarupxx]

Tested with Version 52afb762. Controller support still works.

Testing with the latest master, there seems to be some graphical regressions at the title screen which needed me to rely on wireframe. Furthermore, the Intro videos don't render, but audio plays fine, and additionally, the UI colors seem to be very wrong, but I didn't need to rely on wireframe to see those thankfully.
The game crashes when attempting to use the virtual keyboard:

I just tested this game with the latest master, and the graphics problems in the above screenshots seems to be fixed. The player character in the last screenshot looks a bit... scary :P

The game crashes when starting a race and when trying to load an existing profile.
Upon start of the game with the debug version of CXBX-R, about stack corruption. See the screenshot below:

When I did a kerneldump with the debug version, it ended up with a filesize of more than 200MB, so I guess I can't attach that here.

Current behavior:
It renders stuff now! Loops on loading screen

I’m impressed that it actually renders correctly. Since the middle of Cxbx it has had broken geometry.

Not sure if this is still the case, but it also hung on the old Cxbx during loading. The reason was because a call to CreateTexure failed (512x512 DXT) but creating a false positive didn’t help either so it might be something else.

Current logging state. Still hanging on a endless loop of the error you see at the log's end
