I have two versions of Disgaea - SLES_524.58, have invisible text problem with all settings I tried (shaders, bios etc.) and SLUS_206.66 which displays text correctly. It looks like NTSC version is OK and PAL one is not

). Unfortunatelly I can't figure out how to run game with sound (if I run game with null spu and savestate, then load with savestate and peops spu make no sound as well ;o/)

hey Benny_a. Your problem must be something with the pluging, try linear texturing and software modes.

Could you explain how have you done the sound to work oO . In my game doesn't work with your method.

And if you have an Ati card try to in windowed mode maximize the window, you'll see. In my comp it goes much faster :thumb:

LOL, when I tried your method with full screen guess what

). It was faster as u wrote BUT sound works with his method (well every time played few seconds and then silence) - that's weird

Wel, you have to go ingame, and save state, reload whit sound plugin and it will be fine, but the sound is wierd, i got beter resulets when i saved state later whit sound plugin and reloaded again.

its better to save to memory card than savestate
when your trying differrent settings like the changing the sound plugins
so you can enter the game with null sound
save in the memory card, quit,
and start again from your save from the memory card with the sound plugin

TWave

· #10 · Jun 9, 2005

How?
In my version, if I use the sound pluging the emu stops and I can't reach to the menu....

well just like i said
start with null sound
save in the memory card
then quit the emu
open the emu again,
change the sound plugin to p.e.o.p.s. spu2
and start the game from your save from the memory card not the savestate

ps: don't know if this really works with this game, but overall like i said before it's safer to load from a memory card when you change your plugins settings than loadin from a savestate

· #12 · Jun 10, 2005

I haven't explain myself correctly.
I was trying to say that if I change the pluning to SPU2 and then start the emu with "Run CD" option, the emu stops in the "NOW LOADING" screen.
I can't even reach to the menu, to load the save from the memcard

.

The only option is to do a savestate, change the pluging and load the savestate. But with this, the sound doesn't work........ :hdbash:

You Can`t Load From Memory Card Using peops sound, because you have to go ingame and load from memory card but the Emu Will Crash!!
The only way is to load save state .

I have let it as imposible.....
Anyway, I have test the emu with the two versions of disgaea PAL and NTSC. And seems that in the PAL version the text doesn't show, so Benny_a if you have the SLES_524.58 version don't try to make the texts work.

NOTE: Benny_a, what version of the emu do you use? Plugins? Bios? etc.
It is to try the sound with the same config.

twave, mind checking post #3?
it's quite obvious that there currently is a bug in the d3d mode of gsdx9 that prevents the text from showing with the pal version

TWave

· #18 · Jun 10, 2005

Yes, of course I know that the bug of the text is in the Pal D3D mode

.
With "I have let it as imposible....." I was refering to the sound problem.
