Hey there, I have GT4 running with acceptable speed, but am unable to progress in simulation mode due to hanging when loading license test.

Have tried everything I can think of to resolve but no luck.

I am using ISO with svn 5186.

Win7 (64)
2500K @ stock
8gb ram
amd 6850 1gb

Try enabling 8-bit-textures on GSdx.

probrably a bad iso or bad iso ripping.
does it hang also on your real PS2???

I have 8 bit textures ticked.

The settings I have used to achieve good performance:

Graphics: GSdx(5191) 0.1.16 (SSE41)
=> Direct3D11 (Hardware)
=> Interlacing: None
=> Custom resolution: 1680x1050
=> Texture filtering
=> Allow 8-bit textures

Sound: SPU2-X 1.4.0
=> Interpolation: Linear
=> Module: XAudio 2
=> Synchronizing Mode: TimeStretch
=> Disable Effects Processing (Off)

EE/IOP:
=> Round Mode: Chop / Zero
=> Clamping Mode: None

VUs
=> Round Mode: Chop / Zero
=> Clamping Mode: None

GS:
=> Frame Skipping: Disabled

GS Window:
=> Wait for Vsync on refresh

Speedhacks:
=> EE Cyclerate: 2
=> VU Cycle Stealing: 0
=> Recommended hacks + MTVU (Ticked)

Disc worked fine on my real Ps2.

I'm sure I've come across that one before, isn't it the glitch that is solved by putting the game in progressive scan mode?

Two other things - I did find that certain EE and VU settings were better than others (faster, fewer graphics glitches)

EE Rounding Mode = Chop/Zero
EE Clamping Mode = Extra & Preserve Sign

VU Rounding Mode = Chop/Zero
VU Clamping Mode = Extra

I don't think GT4 is very tolerant of speedhacks with the exception of the MTVU which gives a really good speedup - perhaps try with the EE cycle rate and VU cycle rate speedhacks set to zero if all else fails?

Kind regards
Dave

Well blow me, tried your settings and it fixed it so I can now do the licenses. Well done, I'm a happy man.

Let us know if you achieve all golds
