Resolved: [Bug Report] Shin Megami Tensei - Persona 4 NTSC SLUS 21782

[werewolfy]

I spammed the F9 button, I also tested to pause and resume a multiple times but this game never crashed. I'm surprised because sometimes PCSX2 crashes(with Fatal Frame 1 and 2 but I don't know yet if it's my fault or not) but Persona 4 seems to run flawlessly on my computer.

And you were using 1.3.0 ?

[gregory]

fatal frame uses the gs fifo for sure. GS fifo are used for special occassion. Blyss do you have a mc close to the location of the crash.

Yes the build compiled on June 5 2014

fatal frame uses the gs fifo for sure. GS fifo are used for special occassion. Blyss do you have a mc close to the location of the crash.

So is it related? Is there anything I can do?

[Blyss Sarania]

I have a memory card with all kinds of Persona 4 saves on it. But it's not one particular location, it's just seemingly random. I mean you can literally start a new game and then make it happen.

I am gonna test it on my mom's laptop later.

So it's crashing when "(gsFrame) Invoking command: Sys_RenderswitchToggle" is called?

@werewolfy,
well normally it mustn't crash. What trigger the crash, pressing F9?

@blyss,
Ok. Basically it is the function that is called when F9 is hit It would be more useful to run it in a debugger (good time to learn it ).

F9 is really coded strangely (aka hackish hack), we already have issue because code wasn't thread safe that why it is important to know the source of the bug. Either my gs fifo change or an unrelated others issue.

[werewolfy]

On Fatal Frame 1 it seems that pressing F9 too often crashes the game sometimes after a while. On Fatal Frame 2 it crashed suddenly without pressing F9. But in both cases, the game froze then the sound cut, PCSX2 didn't respond and I had no other choce than closing the program. It's never on a particular location.

I've not determined yet if it's related to a revision in particular, I do some tests and I will eventually create a bug report when I know more about it because I know that "it crashes sometimes" won't help you very much I'm sure about one thing for now : It never happened with PCSX2 1.2.1

[Blyss Sarania]

I'm sure about one thing for now : It never happened with PCSX2 1.2.1

Yeah, none of my problems occur in 1.2.1 or any of the SVN builds up to the switch to GIT.

[gregory]

Hum. For sure my previous version of gs fifo was buggy, it would be annoying to found the bad commit.

I will try to implement the version detection differently.

One question do you hit the keyboad or others pad in the meantime?
