Hmm, can you post a screenshot? It would also help if you went to Debug -> GE Debugger, and then "Step Frame", and then "Step Prim" several times until it starts drawing things. Once there, take a screenshot of some of the tabs (especially Texture, Lighting, and Settings) and upload them here too.
Did it not have black textures in earlier versions?
Still unable to get past tutorial without a save state. I was really hoping 0.9.7 would fix this game. This needs to be moved to the "In-game" subforum, as it isn't really playable.
Here is an solution to bypass the crashing at the beginning and also the hanging at the island naming;
save your state just after the tutorial when the first island will be created, exit the game and check software rendering in the options. this will immensely slow down the game but will emulate a full psp on your phone/PC with no errors at all, as soon as you passed the island creation and naming you can save again and switch back.
i do however notice that in levels where you get real big the draw distance wont expand, so at some point you will only be able to see whats directly in front of you. software rendering solves this as well but with it being really slow makes it nearly unplayable.
I haven't found a solution for this yet tough...
Help, I'm trying to play Me and My Katamari, it works perfectly, but almost every texture is black, and I think it's because in the GE debugger, all the lighting values are at 0. How do I fix this?
Greetings. I noticed the rules indicating one thread per game, so my concern is involving Me and My Katamari (USA version), PPSSPP 0.9.9.1 SDL version, installed via the Archlinux/Antergos 64bit repos. My game continually freezes at the same area. At first, it would seg fault during the first island creation after the tutorial. After using a save state, I made it past there (yay) to where you can rename the island, then the game freezes, no matter what combo of settings I use. The music will continue to play. Attached is my terminal output. I have an AMD FX4300 CPU, Nvidia GTX 650 Ti gpu, closed source gpu drivers (340.32-1) as installed via repos, and 8GB DDR3 RAM. I appreciate any assistance.
@DaTankAC dunno about the other freeze during tutorial, since it never happened for me(maybe it can be affected by fast memory or multithreading in system settings as I don't use either;3), but for the island naming freeze solution is simple. Just set rendering mode to one of the "read framebuffers to memory" modes, doesn't really matter which one since it's required only for like a second and can be done even after this freeze happens, after it continues, you can set mode back to buffered rendering.
