[BUG REPORT] Tales of Legendia blackscreen

[ichigo199]

for the title screen in HW mode is totaly vagueness but I can go to the start menu.
the principal problem is when I start a new game i have a black screen with the title screen music and the fps don't bug, it continue between 55-60 fps.

AFAIK, this game isn't emulated ATM

[ichigo199]

sorry but i'm not english.

[Cyphox]

thats nerd-language

sorry

naaah. afaik means "as far as i know" and atm means "at the moment"

means the game doesnt work with pcsx2 yet.

[jesalvein]

yep.
and I'm not english either...

I remember Rama or Air saying that this is THE most demanding game under pcsx2. So demanding that it make the emu crash.

OK thanks,
but if it don't work what it is classified as playable in the compactibility list?

[Cyphox]

good question

maybe it kinda playable in software mode?

or its only playable with a high-end pc?

or its only playable with a high-end pc, but in ultra slowmotion?

can you get ingame without errors in softwaremode?

it does work in software mode, you just have to be patient with the super low fps of the opening, rest of the game play at 35 fps on my rig.

It works in software mode, add some frameskip and a good CPU and you can get very playable speeds. I get 50-60FPS normally like that and I'm about half game and there are some scenes where it slows down more than others.

Even if you get slow speed the definition of playable is stated in the compatibility as "You can get from 'new game' to 'end credits'. This is regardless of FPS, it simply means you could with a great deal of patience, complete the game! eg: Slow, but stable!" probably because you can eventually get hardware fast enough to get it full speed

geeesh. i was wrong, then.
I can't remember which game air was talking about...
