Emulator

hmmmmmmm.

Additional information ftw. I'll try my best to start working on it.

I wish I could give more info, but nothing ever appears on screen and it just
crashes - no error message or anything. Maybe some debug information would be
useful, but I don't think if even the game won't load.

I do have to say though, it does display the Nintendo logo but it hangs while it
begins to completely fade in. :(

Xtra, jpeterson gave some info in the forum

:( I just bought this game, sad to hear that it's not working

RetroX added some patches to go in game , but still doesn't work

forgot the page :P

To sum it up:
The code at location 0x8004A9F8 (NTSC) or 0x8004ABDC (PAL) calls OSSleepThread and
never returns (hanging at the logo). Nopping it out (Patch value 0x60000000) allows
the game to continue, and with some tricks you can even get in-game.

Some random thoughts:

• The ble at 0x8004a9e8 (NTSC, or better the cpmlwi right before it) has a wrong
  value in r3, like what happend with the JIT corruption (which caused random crashes
  due to FPU instructions that modified code instead of data).
  or
• OSSleepThread is still waiting for data that simply isnt written to the addresses
  checked around 0x80246aa8 (NTSC again), causing that loop to run infintely.

First few cents on this, might throw some more coins later on.

Update: The game goes in-game , the memory card is broken in the PAL version , and
the video of the beginning ( before the menu ) is broken for NTSC version , after a
long wait to see the first video of the game you can start playing , but you can't
defeat the first boss ( a ship ). Some things are missing in that level , for example
the fire taht the ship throws to you never reach you , they just dissapear ( you fire
also do the same thing )

but here is a video of how would the game look after that boss

works now, but you need to use the software render plugin to go through the intro
video, and the DSP-LLE to go through a hang in the menu

Realy cool.

merge with issue 2311 please

Keith, they are different issues. 1125 is an issue relating to the FIFO. 2311 is an
issue with the D3D plugin.

StarFox Adventures hangs at start up it's just a FIFO bug ?

its hard to be repaired?

Yes, it is hard.

Issue 2485 has been merged into this issue.
