Resolved: [Bug Report] The Simpsons Game [PAL]

[agent420]

Make sure you have the necessary updates from the first post of this thread:
http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-GSdx

Most specifically if you have windows Vista you should make sure you have both Service Pack 2 and the Vista Platform update for it.

Thank you for the reply indeed i did have to update to service pack 2 and the platform update x64,but it seems the sky is still the same im going to do some more testing on this i shall return........................thank you

Well it seems that that the rendering in dx10 for the simpsons isnt happening althou its very close! im going to keep tinkering with it a little bit see if i get any different results....

DX10 software mode looks good but it dips in the fps randomly i dont mind resolution, is there any speedups possible in software mode? thank you everybody for the help......

DX10 software:


can anyone post a pic of DX11 software please.

[montecrudo]

Tested..
Nope, still not working for me even when I enabled the skipdraw hack.

Don't tell me I need a DX11 card, it's ridiculous...

[abdo123]

well i just cant figure it out
why it is working on my pc not yours
the only logical reason that Gabest have used dx 11 technology in GS
but i will do some research about this
and i will post pics about Vu and EE and see if that help you out
and post your gsdx new configuration after the latest beta

pcsx2 0.9.6 r1888 seem to work fine ( without skipdraw hack or dx 11 ) try it

There's a CRC hackfix in GSdx for this game currently.
What's the CRC for montecrudo and agent420's versions of the game?

We would need to see if the CRC is the same as the hackfix and could also use a GSdump of it where the problem shows easily to test if it's working properly.

Ok after a long day i finally managed to rip a clean copy of The Simpsons game
all thanks to Gamestop(bought a used copy PAL ripped it and returned
it). Now to my surprise i loaded up pcsx2 0.9.7 beta with the settings
abdo123 had given and sure enough it plays flawless,im guessing i had a bad copy of the game i dunno but also i updated my graphic drivers to the new 270.xx from nvidia i dont if it helped but thought i just might add.

Heres some pics:

We would need to see if the CRC is the same as the hackfix and could also use a GSdump of it where the problem shows easily to test if it's working properly.

The problem with The Simpsons game is that got at least 3 different PAL versions:
- SLES-54906: Spanish & Italian
- SLES-54905: Probably French & German
- SLES-54904: Danish, English, Finnish & Norweigan

So there are 3 crcs: You need the 3 different crcs for the hack fix.
The one detected by PCSX2 for the Spanish & Italian version (that is the version of the game that i have) is: 0x565B7E04

Yes, agent420 also tested the hackfix with the CRC for the NTSC version which is what he had and it worked for him so it's gonna be added next update as well as montecrudo's CRC which was posted before.
