(Tested with official pcsx2 0.9.8 r4600)
Hello, I am writting this thread to let developers know that there is
a bug in pcsx2 when running all of "World Rally Championship" series.
Here are the settings and results:
# I used latest public beta(0.9.8 r4600) posted on pcsx2 web site,
# I tried all possible settings of pcsx2 (eg, tried EErec on and off + all possible settings),
# I made an ISO from original disks using PowerISO and loaded these ISOs using
plugins available in pcsx2 r4600 but same results,
# tried these settings with and without cheats(patches),
# All series are PAL versions since it`s only version I can buy in New Zealand
# Updated Results from official 0.9.8 r4600 (Thanks to ShadowLady for tip):
Note: No cheats file used during test

World Rally Championship 1 (PAL):
Fast CDVD hack Off --> pcsx2 falls into infitnity loop and console shows nothing
Fast CDVD hack On --> boots successfuly, fully playable
(but only problem I found is massive TLB miss when Subaru Impreza is selected)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
World Rally Championship 2 (PAL):
Fast CDVD hack Off --> pcsx2 console says "cd stopped"
Fast CDVD hack On --> boots successfuly, good speed but stages/tracks with a little bit of SPS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
World Rally Championship 3 (PAL):
Fast CDVD hack Off --> pcsx2 console just stops working
and no further action is proceed
Fast CDVD hack On --> boots successfuly but when I try to
start stage, pcsx2 hangs at loading screen
and console log shows following:
branch 19a00013 in delay slot!
branch 19800014 in delay slot!
branch 19a00013 in delay slot!
branch 19800014 in delay slot!
[wx] can't open file 'cheats\80802ea9.pnach'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
World Rally Championship 4 (PAL)
Fast CDVD hack Off --> pcsx2 console says "TLB Miss" when try to boot the game
Fast CDVD hack On --> pcsx2 console says "TLB Miss" when try to boot the game
* This title was managed to boot on VM version of PCSX2 with pnatch file
attached with official pcsx2 playground and pcsx2 r317
Ever since VTLB was introduced, World Rally Championship 4 is no longer booting(suffer from TLB miss).
Looks like TLB miss is caused by fifo function of pcsx2.
I hope this report might be useful to improve future release.
Tested PC spec:
Core2Duo T9550 2.6Ghz, GeForce 9600M GT 512mb(latest driver installed),
Win Vista Home Premium 32bit with SP2, 3GB RAM,
latest DirectX 11 is installed
