Scarface graphical issues (PAL)

[lemondrizzle]

So I understand this game is a kicker if its not played in software mode, but I'd love to get to the bottom of the issues and get it working.

Purchased my game at CEX, tried running off disc and created an iso as well but still have the issues.

I've attached some images showing my video settings.
I've tested all options on those screens, turning them on and off.
The settings I have offer the most "playable" experience. Skipdraw 3 gets rid of the horrible green texture but some other renders are missing, and everything is still purple.
Scarfare I-Bit hack is enabled.

Would love to know if there is anything else I could try out.

Just done some further testing.

In Game fixes, I have gone through all fixes visible.
The only setting to have an effect is Delay VIF1 Stalls, which messes up the visuals even more.

In the VUs menu, setting VU1 to Interpreter messes up the graphics, as does VU0/VU1 recompiler mode being set to Negative.

Other settings appear to have no visible effect.

Disabled all speedhacks and no visible effect was produced.

Do you have automatic gamefixes enabled? That's all you should need.

Naturally

Would any information from the debugger be useful?

I can't interpret it myself

[lemondrizzle]

I've made a GS dump, here the link: https://mega.nz/#!MC512B7K!0kERmVwSgCde2...3bgSB4FvmE

Don't know if anyone can interpret this.

I turned off the skipdraw for this dump.

The dump doesn't work for me for some reason. Can you try again a single frame ?

It's compressed to .7z, maybe that's the issue? I know single frames compress to .xz


I've attached the single frame dumps.

Just of note, if I set skipdraw to a negative value, all the graphical glitches go away and the colours are right, but it removes most other sprites.
I've attached these too for you, see if it helps troubleshooting.
