1.3.1.1 Beta - Core updates

[BryWI]

On 4DO 1.3.1.1 beta 4, oftentimes between floors, after dying, or even during gameplay the music will stop, and I am unable to get it back with any amount of toggling etc. I have to save and load my game using the NVRAM, which can get to be quite bothersome. I was unable to load the game at all in 1.3.1.0.

That is all.

Thanks for the report on revision 4. I know in 1.3.1.0, some games will take a long time to boot. Sometimes it is a ridiculous amount of time ( 5 minutes or so). If you could try again to see if you can get to boot in that version to see if the music still does the same thing... It would be good to know if it's like that because of revison 4 or if it was like that before hand.

I will give that a shot and get back to you.

Since the link to revision 4 in this thread is not working, (revision 5 has some code missing) Here is a working link for it.

Hello, thank all for testing, I notice that revision 4 is more better than rev 5 and other versions.

As for now 4DO revision 6 is done, try this, it includes all changes from revision 4, including Street Fighter 2 intro synced and some new fixes, if you find any differences from rev 4 please report.

Viktor, you would be correct about revision 4 being better. Johnny was missing your source code for revision 4. I will put some testing in today on revision 6. It's nice to see some more activity on 4DO! Thanks for your work!

Just a reminder to everyone... the wiki page for this test is...

Is Lost Eden booting for anyone else? I am having problems with Lost Eden again. Maybe it is just me though? I let the loading files counter go to 2,000,000 with all the BIOS files and it just will not boot for me.

BTW, I have noticed some improvements in games.

-The Minor Video problems in Drug Wars is fixed.

-Sometimes the Racer videos in Crash N Burn are now playing correctly. They sometimes will start to repeat phrases when you play too many of them in a row.

I will try to test some more tomorrow.

Thanks for the report, its good that some problems fixed in this version.

I'am also tried to run Lost Eden on my machine with FZ-10 bios, it seems to be playable, but it boots for a very long random time, I see different loading files counter values, sometimes it boots after 1'000'000 and sometimes after 3'500'000.

Also this one doesn't boots with the FMV Sync option enabled, as I notice.
Do you have FMV sync option disabled?

[BryWI]

I did have FMV Sync off. I usually do not turn it on except for The Horde and Wing Commander 3. I tried to boot Lost Eden again today. I couldn't boot the game. I used the FZ-10 BIOS, with and without rom2. I tried using a clean NVRAM. I tried using a virtual CD drive. I tried turning up the CPU Clock. I let it run until the counter said 15,000,000! Still did not boot with any combination I tried. I am starting to think maybe it is only happening on 64-bit machines or Win7? I will try my 32-bit Vista machine soon. I always seem to be the one having the most problems with this game though.

I tested a few games today. I didn't notice any more improvements yet. I did not see any problems though either, which is good. I am still not sure about what the correct speed of Escape from Monster Manor should be. It seems like it might be running fast. My FZ-1 is broken so I can't test what it should be.

Tested #6 for Twisted, still have that B&W FMV bug, and also, I noticed some lag on the introduction, and this is without anything on the thingy, no ratio, no fmv fix, did the fmv fix, btw, made things worse.

Lost Eden booted on my Vista 32bit machine after about 15-20 minutes. I have been running 4DO on my win7 64bit machine and it has been running for about an hour. The counter is at 55,000,000. It never did boot after an hour. Could this be an issue only happening on 64-bit machines?

But still, 15-20 minute boot time is a lot longer than revision 4. It used to boot for me around 200,000.
