Final Fantasy IV : The complete collection

System: Ubuntu 13.10, AMD64, using libsdl1.2-dev 1.2.15-5ubuntu2
Versions tested (same behavior in both):
v0.9.5-213-g2fe898c (angelXwind build)
Nov 23rd Github master @ 132fe47c7d

I am getting a segfault at Mist village when Rydia first summons Titan. I've discovered that enabling Low Quality Spline/Bezier Curves fixes the issue (I saw TesselateBezierPatch() in the backtrace).

I am posting this here in hopes it will be useful to the developers or anyone else seeing this problem... I can provide save/state files if needed, but it seems to be pretty easy to reproduce.

I just tested that low quality option and it's not crashing the emulator when Alarm is used anymore. Only checked on 32bit Windows version.

[Acnologia]

cheers.,

I can't seem to " Load my game" .. when I try to load the save file, it says: "Cannot load file." D: plz help

Here's what I do :
*let's say u r using version 0.9.5

-download the build v0.9.1-1965-g027ba31
-extract it somewhere
-play the game (FF IV) from 0.9.1 version
-Just play a new game
-exit
-Copy folder SAVEDATA from ..\ppsspp\memstick\PSP from your 0.9.5 version
-paste to 0.9.1 version (replace) in the same folder
-play 0.9.1 version, then u can load the game
-after crash, save the game just outside dwarf castle
-exit
-now move the SAVEDATA again from 0.9.1 to 0.9.5
-solved...

basically, we are using old version only to get past the freeze part.,

This doesn't work for me,cant load my save state...dammit,i wanted to play this gme so badly...

I don't think the save STATE files are compatible between these versions... but game save data should be, are you copying over your SAVEDATA folder and trying to load game from within the FFIV game menu..?

You may need to go to load game, and say OK to create savedata, then you'll get an error that it can't load save data - this is fine, quit out of PPSSPP and then copy over the SAVEDATA folder as other people said... you should then be able to fire it back up load up your save...

Good luck,
Ross

[rascopeeko]

For anyone else trying to get past the underworld FMV issue under Linux, I grabbed build v0.9.1-1437-g930621b (32bit), and was able to run that using wine 1.7.6 (installable on Ubuntu 13.10, see WineHQ).

Have fun!

OK I GOT IT! To whoever had the same error as me! Just go with the flow, press X (o on psp) to get rid of the message, then another message come's up, saying it cant save. Than save anyway inthe game. When you go to your SAVEDATA folder you can see a new folder named: ULUS10560FFIV, this is now your save file, Copy that to the v0.9.1 emulator, watch the cutscene and save there again.

Thanks to all who helped <33

A few common issues that I've read about or experienced as I've played through FF4 Complete. I am currently using the 32 bit 9.5 version of ppsspp.

1. The Summon crash:
To anyone having the ppsspp crash take place when an enemy does a summon. I didn' start seeing that error until I went into the Tower of Babil in the Overworld. One enemy, the Sorcerer, will try to summon creatures if you kill his companion Ghost Knights. When he performed the summon, ppsspp would crash to desktop. To solve this, I turned on Low quality splines and bezier curves (speed up) and ppsspp stopped crashing when the Sorecerer performed a summon. Based upon this evidence, maybe enabling this option will help with other enemies that summon.

2. The Mist Dragon crash:
My copy of ppsspp would crash when I was fighting the Mist Dragon. The second the Mist Dragon tried to transform into mist, the program would CTD. To get around this issue, I turned off the following options. I set Mode to Non-buffered rendering. I also turned off Hardware transform. This seemed to do the trick and I've had no more problems of that nature.

3. Glitchy FMVs.
From the FMV where the Enterprise crashes, I started having problems where the FMV glitches out and the screen goes black. To solve this for now, I downloaded the last version of 9.1 off the website. I just copy the entire Memcard folder into the 9.1 directory and load my game. Let the game play through the FMV, save, and then copy the Memcard folder back to the 9.5 directory. Takes the guess work out of trying to make sure I've moved all the corresponding files.

Hope these suggestions help those who are having trouble.

[rascopeeko]

Ack, so after getting past the airship underworld FMV, had the same issue appear again when trying to exit the underworld after leaving the tower of babil... super frustrating.. spent an hour grinding levels and lost it all

Have we opened an issue on github for this? I see issues:

3422
4617
4132
2863

All of which seem to just be minor graphical issues, which I am sure we can all live with... but this hang is a major problem, and reverting to a previous build to get past it isn't really a workaround...

If anyone knows of this being a known core issue (possibly affects other games and not just FFIV), let me know..

[Henrik]

Feel free to file an issue about this, you are right that it seems like a serious bug.

I just quickly want to say a huge thanks to you and the whole team Henrik, you guys truly are wizards and your hard work on PPSSPP is very much appreciated!

Thank you guys,ingame load worked!!!

Moved to In-game, since the game is having FMV hang issues.

[Infinity Gems]

Game is working so far pretty fluidly on my LG G2 android phone. Only two hiccups I've had where I had to go on my pc with the 9.1 version is going underground and the game freezing at the battle between the tanks and the red wings where you crash, and leaving underground and cid blowing himself up. At the Giant of Babil and things have come along smoothly. There are a few slowdowns, especially during some summons and bosses deteriorating.

[Pelador]

The game works great on my pc. My only issue is very minor. The sprites have green outlines when in towns and villages. I've clicked every box in the emulator settings and the only one that seems to remove it is the software rendering option. However that causes so much lag that the game is unplayable. Are their any other solutions I could try?

I have an i7 3770k, 8gb RAM and a Radeon HD 6870. I'm using a 64 bit operating system and the 64 bit emulator. Not that that should have much to do with a minor graphical issue I should think.
