Description

As the title indicates, the game doesn't work any more.

What is the expected output?

  • Over 9000 errors
    What do you see instead?
    -Hangs at Konami logo, might randomly crash.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows XP 32bit, DolphinIL and normal, Hd4870 @ catalyst 9.7

Please provide any additional information below.
There's nothing more to add, but it seems that Sillicon Knights games are
the hardest to emulate...Eternal Darkness has never even "booted" whereas
MGS is full of issues :s

I just reverted to 3840 and confirm this to be correct. Just to elaborate, you get
about 200 "Out of bounds" cpu errors, but after you skip all those errors you can get
to the main menu.

Post-3841 however, the game simply hangs.

<@sl1nk3> Talidan > throwing a "#define ENABLE_MEM_CHECK" in
Core/HW/MemmapFunctions.cpp should fix MGS

This is simply a matter of the memory protection not being enabled to catch the
errors that were previously dislayed. Perhaps this should be a feature that can be
enabled from game properties.

In that sense, perhaps this issue should be split into another which directly
addresses adding a Memory Check box to game properties.

Would you mind writing this on on the forums? I doubt anybody checks this issue.

This would explain why True Crime: Streets of LA hasn't been booting. Same problem,
it hangs on boot.

But changing in the Memmap.cpp,Memmap.h,MemmapFunctions.cpp from
ENABLE_MEM_CHECK a NOCHECK all functions should eliminate the problem.

the issue has gotten worse in the latest revs, now some TLB games such as MMGS TS try
to read opcodes from the TLB area which won't work too well with the new JIT cache,
the game still works though if you disable that cache, but it involves rebuilding...

Hmm, can it possibly be fixed without ruining other games or implementing some kind of
a hack?

Actually Eternal Darkness did boot in the earlier revisions it was around r500+ it
got to the first screen when the quote from edger allan poe was spoken then it would
freeze but now it doesnt even get that far, i tracked that down to the sound plugin
but i dont know why it never went any further.

The issue in Eternal Darkness is not related to TLB and it's not related to the Sound
plugin either... r791 "broke" Eternal Darkness, and that's a revision affecting the
fifo code.
