Ppsspp: Crash when starting a new game in Obscure: the aftermath.

[blackman91]

Using the latest dev build on android the game crashes after the initial cutscene, this does not happen in the stable 1.3 build.

works fine on windows 10 x64

[blackman91]

That is why I said on Android....

[hrydgard]

Might have something to do with the recent build flag changes. I'll take a look as soon as I get a chance.

@blackman91 what existly git version did you test ?
edit:eg: v1.3-g1234abcd

[moura464]

Build v1.3g1234abcd v1.4g1234abcd version :) !!!

[blackman91]

I used the latest: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/commit/9c08b60564c0071e74a429982b9ad14935790e05

Also the same happens in ys ark of napishtim, crashes when loading an ingame save, savestate or starting a new game.
They both work fine in the 1.3 stable.

The crash is related when vertex cache is enabled.
Disable Vertex cache the game is working fine in my phone.

@blackman91 Did you mean before this screen crash ?

[blackman91]

Yes it crashes right after the intro cutscene, I tested in two devices with a mali gpu different android os 4.4 and 4.2.2

[mrcmunir]

@blackman91 disable vertex cache option will help the crash in my case working if disable that option.

[hrydgard]

Thanks guys, this may be related to the very similar iOS crash (wait never mind, that was vertex jit, not vertex cache..).

I'll look into it soon.

@hrydgard
good
v1.3-136-g6e7e62f
bad
v1.3-143-gea5e9f8

compare: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/compare/v1.3-136-g6e7e62f...v1.3-143-gea5e9f8

I think this related to run-time NEON detection on ARM v7 (which seems to be disabled by define before v1.3-143-gea5e9f8). I think that change is only one that can cause crashes.

[hrydgard]

Got a repro on this, it's trying to hash unaligned data, which blows up with NEON but not with ARM. I'll fix.

Good find!
