Description
Game Name?
Fatal Frame 4: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse (With English Patch)
Game ID?
R4ZJ01
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
In the Chapter 4 Piano minigame, the pointer will often bug in one of two ways.
Way one: the pointer can highlight and select notes just fine, but when you try to play it plays the wrong notes.
Way two (this seems to be caused by moving the wiimote): The pointer hovers over the notes, but trying to select the notes does nothing.
This is with a real Wiimote.
What did you expect to happen instead?
The notes to play properly.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Reach Chapter 4 and obtain the sheet music.
- Try to play the piano.
- Fail.
Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
4.0-5099
Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?
N/A

Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
No logs, and config doesn't seem to affect it?

Just to be safe, here's my graphics config:

This happens with both the XAudio2 and OpenAL audio backends.
And note that when it chooses the "wrong" key, it seems to always be the one on the far left.
Updated by redherochildboss over 10 years ago
It works perfectly if the audio backend it set to "no audio output"

That's really strange. I don't know what to say about that.
Updated by redherochildboss over 10 years ago
It's quite easy to reproduce, at least. Happens with the piano in chapter 6, and can be fixed by turning off the audio backend there too.

Weeks ago I've played the first piano puzzle (but I think it was befor chapter 4) using 4.0-4837 without problems (audio on).
You may try that revision to see if something has changed since then...
Updated by redherochildboss over 10 years ago
I'll try that, but what do you mean before chapter 4? There is no piano puzzle before chapter 4.
Updated by rigation over 10 years ago
If the first piano puzzle is in chapter 4 then it is the one that worked perfectly for me with audio enabled using 4.0-4837...I don't remember very well...if the puzzle is in the same chapter where you turn on power for the elevator, it's in chapter 4, otherwise it is before...

When I get to the final piano segment later today I'll try it with some different revisions and see if I can find where it broke.
Updated by redherochildboss over 10 years ago
Not sure what changed, but as of 4.0-5163 NONE of the backends work, not even the "no audio backend" option.
Updated by redherochildboss over 10 years ago
Yeah, confirmed, it works fine in 4.0-4837 (I tested with Xaudio2 backend). So it broke somewhere between that and 5099.
Updated by redherochildboss over 10 years ago
What the heck. Now it's working on 4.0-5163 again.
It must be something in the settings, then...

Cause found.
For whatever reason, if anti-aliasing is on, the piano will not function properly.
Updated by redherochildboss over 10 years ago
Ran through the piano game with anti-aliasing on and logging enabled. Anti-aliasing is definitely the cause.

Anti-aliasing being the cause makes sense. Anti-aliasing can causes issues if a game reads from the EFB or an EFB copy because it changes the rendering.
We might just need to fix the game's INI to force AA off.
Updated by kostamarino over 10 years ago
So judging from the other issue for this game it needs mmu and to disable anti aliasing?
Updated by redherochildboss over 10 years ago
That's what it seems like to me, unless the MMU is just hiding the crash and not actually fixing it. I'm planning on trying to replicate the crash with MMU off in Interpreter mode one of these days.
Now if only I could find a fix for the stutter when fighting Bloomed ghosts. :P

I will make a commit about it, hope you are correct with your findings.
