544307D1 - DEAD OR ALIVE 4

Validation

• I've read the FAQ.
• The Xenia build used is from a canary branch. (not MLBS/AlexVS/master/pull requests, etc)
• This issue isn't for help (tech support) with Xenia, or a game.
• I've checked if this game doesn't already have a compatibility report.

Xenia version

xenia-canary/xenia-canary@6e13258

Issues

The boss character causes the game to lock-up; happens during the intro sequence and during gameplay.

Suspect it has to do with her translucent graphical effects; her smoke effect renders correctly.

Attached is a screenshot of the exact frame the game consistently hangs on during the attract sequence and a log file leading up that moment.

Doesn't crash, it hangs.

I left the emulator open for about a minute or so to let it log as much relevant data as possible.
Log file line# 2,443,894 is where things appear to go wrong.
The hang happens at the exact moment 0x830b22f8 gets written to.

Everything is stock except for the following settings in the config:
clear_memory_page_state = true
log_level = 3

i'm able to boot the game's start screen with "kyoto in bloom" stage as a backdrop for the most port but if left to run on its own. i'll get the opening "helicopter scene" cinematic run just fine

but will get graphics issues entering its showcase demonstration, ill still hear the audio unaffected.

but if i eventually press start, save function/selection is broken and main menu is a artifacting corrupted mess

Xenia Version: xenia-project/xenia@0fcdc12

tried on default xenia canary config and then on my tweaked xenia-canary.config its default except for:

license_mask = 1
internal_display_resolution = 16
mount_cache = true

results where both the same.

Set "clear_memory_page_state = true" in the Xenia config file to fix most graphical glitches in Team Ninja games.

Update

proceeded with changing to "clear_memory_page_state = false" to "clear_memory_page_state" = true

cleared the log, continued to the start screen, got opening cinematic per just last session.

let it run on its own for a bit longer i got a sec of everything looking normal on Kokoro before going black screen. then i pressed start to get out of the black screen back to start menu and pressing "start" navigating to "doa 4 story" and selected kasumi playthrough but other wise gameplay and everything looked normal up to my fight with zack, leifang, tina.

i cant get the game to go past main menu myself, neither this nor NG2

xenia-canary build 0ad1e3d58 addresses the boss crashing issue and it is now possible to complete the story mode.

Hi, i'm using the latest Canary version ( a6e3d77) and i have this issue:
the game works fine but the soundtrack very often is missing. It is always missing in the opening screen (where it is necessary to push START), into the character select screen and into the game mode section.
During the game, in some stages, sometimes, the soundtrack is missing: sometimes it is present, sometimes is missing and sometimes it is present but during the match it disappears.

Did you solve it? Does anyone have same problem?
thanks

thank you very much! it works!
I activated the patch too, of the TU1 version. I tried to activate Alpha-152 unlocked , but when i select her into the characters select screen, the game freezes. Do you have this behaviour?
thanks

[legolas119]

Do you know why?
thank you :)

try protect_zero = false and see if it works?

[legolas119]

yes, it works now! It isn't present the portrait of the character but i think it is normal:

thanks!

Press F5 or enable clear_memory_page_state

[legolas119]

yes, it is already enabled that option and i tried to push F5 during the game, but the portrait of alpha-152 is always missing...quite strange...do you see it?

[A1eNaz]

its because the character wasnt supposed to be shown in the select screen ig, everyone else works fine tho

[legolas119]

ah ok ok! thanks!
