Some menu text is missing.
Still freezes on VIF operations after selecting car.

mind posting an emuLog with VIF/HW/DMA (EE), but enable these just before u get those vif error msgs, else the emuLog will be huge

i removed the dvdreads

the last line
VIFtransferData: cmd b1, size 1c19b, vif1.tag.size 4
repeats infinitely

 

[linuzappz]

try this nach, and tell me if it does any better

sorry, freezes at the same point printing the same line in the end.
But there is a difference:
sound from spu2PeopsDSound cannot be heard anymore (with this particular game)

Unless you use following patch with Phaste.
(For no reason you can use that also on a real PS2 :eyemove: )

Graphics appear in wrong part of VRAM
Sound is OK (music disabled in game's option menu)

Log reads loads of:
"Warning, end with size = 2
Warning, end with size = 1"
I made a log with VIF logging.

GSDX9 0.8 crashes on starting actual gameplay.
With VUREC you get no 3D gfx and log reads:
warning, sif0.fifoReadPos != sif0.fifoWritePos
It doesn't crash though.

Pictures from track "Tokyo R246", #1-7 pre-start, #8-12 ingame
Looks like these parts use different coding for 3D

Infinite loop before going ingame with GSsoft
GSDX9 crashes before going ingame

"Pre-race-start graphics" OK
Car select OK, except from light reflections
Coincidentially this looks similar to the painting on my buddy's Porsche
btw nobody in Germany really knows "RUF", the real deal is tuning by "Alzen" or "Manthey".
