Thanks for your reply XTra.KrazzY.
I was using opengl in the screenshots.
I downloaded now Dolphin_2536 the game works but:
Opengl : Good FPS, still randomly craches. ( http://i43.tinypic.com/2djb1xv.png )
Direct3D9: No crachs but very low FPS. ( http://i44.tinypic.com/2qx2q0p.png ).

Keep up the good work !

Opengl : Good FPS, still randomly craches.

Crashes? Which version are you trying to play: PAL, NTSC (gameid)? I don't have
crashes at all in ToS.
Also, try JITIL if you can.

on NTSC version, it has random crashes is both IL and nonIL. On IL, it will also
randomly lock up if you minimize the window during a scene.

Hmm... I have NTSC, works fine for me. No crashes/lockups.
tell me your revision and appr. playtime to get a crash.

The issues have been constant over revisions, but here's latest setup:
r2642
Core Settings: Dual Core, Idle Skip, All Advanced Settings
Graphics: OGL - Autoscale, Native Res, Real XFB, Antisotropic 1X, no AA, EFB to GL hack
Sound: HLE - All options enabled
Pad: Dolphin KB/X360 plugin
Patches: No patches or codes enabled
System: Athlon X2 4400+, 3 gigs 800Mhz DDR2 ram, Radeon X1900

Crash type: Windows error message appears, saying program must be closed.
Dolphin.exe Results: Average 10-15 minutes realtime(average FPS 30-40). Crashes can
happen anywhere, but a larger concentration of them happen when entering the world map.
DolphinIL.exe Resultes: Average 15-20 minutes realtime(average FPS 25-40). Crash
locations as above. Additional crashtype in that ingame scripted actions(a character
talking, camera angle changing, etc.) will cease happening sometimes if the window is
minimized, thus locking up the game.

Can't reproduce crash with new r2657.

Core Settings: Dual Core, All Advanced Settings
Graphics: OGL - Autoscale, 1024x768, Kepp 4:3, no AA, EFB to GL hack, filtering, AF,
ZTP Bloom hack, Safe etxture crash
Sound: HLE - All options enabled

Also, window minimizing doesn't lock up game for me.

@zantezuken: still have the black screen problem with the newest version.

AA produces that. Do not use it with ToS.

@zantezuken: AA: antialiasing ?

Actions #13

Updated by Fragmaster01 over 15 years ago

sofunny: Yes, he's talking about anti-aliasing
zantezuken: I tried your settings, and while it helped the crashes(it no longer has a
possibility of crashing when entering the world map), it still crashes occasionally.
Granted, I did not do prolonged testing with idleskip off, as that slows the game
down horribly, so unless that is the cause, it is possible it's a hardware
issue(seeing how the same settings produce different results on different machines).

Fragmaster01: ok thanks, i played with the AA options but still the same problem.
