Debugging request

[_SF_]

I need some people who are having problems to run the emulator in a debugger using the DirectX debug runtimes. This is so that I can see what is causing the problems with certain graphics cards.

You can get the debug runtimes from here:

Your help is much appreciated of course....

_SF_, i downloaded those Direct X 9.0b Debug Runtimes, installed the Debug set of them, and now Halo finally worked on my GeForce TI 4200! =)

i don't know how to show you debug information or anything though; only thing i know how to run so far is the "dxdiag" window

i will try to attach picture:

so far, i can play it in both the Software mode (slow) and the Real mode (fast)

it lets me get to the part where i am making a character, but when i start to get in game it just exits out

i don't think my cache maps are being made right; so far all the menu are working for me

good work _SF_! this emu is cool! =)

errr...that would be Xeon, not Cxbx.

ok I got to run it (thnx to the runtimes) and it extracts the maps just fine. then I get to run the game under software mode (extremely slow) and on hardware mode (with software vertex processing. runs kinda fast)
then I make a new campaign, create the profile and select difficulty, then it tells me the disc is either dirty or damaged
if I try playing multiplayer on split screen, I put my player 1 to play, select level, then the emu closes
I get pretty cool music in the menu's btw

specs:
AMD XP 1900+
768 MB RAM
GeForce 4 Ti 4600

Do I need to uninstall the old 9.0 first or can I just reinstall 9.0b debug?

I tried this with the debug version, it still the same problem.

[_SF_]

Good, so it does work okay after all. I still need people with Radeons to confirm that there isn't a compatibility problem with ATI cards. Other than that, I'll try to deal with the startup problem but it probably won't be fixed for a while.

The menu doesn't appear correctly in GF4 Ti cards because I haven't optimized pixel shader emulation yet and it needs ps 2.0 right now. It'll definitely take some time before Xeon reaches the optimization stage.

What problem? Did you try using software mode?

[boo_se]

I finally got it working too with the dx debug version but it only works in software mode. I have gf4 ti card.

I reach ingame.

Edit: oh lord! I was running low on hd space so i checken in the xeon folder... the xeonlog.txt file has become 1,6 gb in size (!) hehe

If you add support for PAL halo I'll be happy to run xeon through the VS debugger with the debug runtime to catch those messages =) I have a Radeon 9500Pro. Though I guess adding PAL halo support is way too much work just to get a debug report
(Since I own an original PAL Halo and have no way to get the NTSC one I can't help you otherwise)

Well whaddya know, the debug runtime fixes my problem. I couldn't boot Halo until I saw this thread.

Just wish I could just load via Hardware mode and uncompress through there rather than Software...
