Initial D: Street Stage

[l33d3r]

Hi, I'm a little late to this thread and I'm kind of a newbie to this, but when I run this game on PPSSPP on my desktop, my FPS is capped at 30.0 while I'm pretty sure it is capable of reaching 50-60 fps.

Does anyone know a fix?

[xperiaplay2someday]

Hmm I switched my counter to fps and gameplay is indeed locked at 30fps while menus are 60fps.

Maybe post something here and Virgin KLM will see it and take a look into it.

Cars are now a sort of dark grey as of 0.9.5. Voices are also a bit muddy sounding.

Also, I don't think anyone noticed this, but the cards you choose from after each race/time attack are rendered so that you can see what's on the back of them before they "flip" over. This is not supposed to happen of course because you're not supposed to know until you choose one.

thats nice, looks like some kind of a cheat without using CwCheat. haha

Tried with latest build. Now cars color can be switchable:





There are still other known issues and minor glitches but playable 100%.

I may have a preliminary problem. I can't create save data for this game is there a method to use to create one?

I get this message

*UPDATE*
Create a folder called "ULJM050930000"

at the path memstick/PSP/SAVEDATA/

Then create a file called DATA.bin in the folder. This creates a save for the game.

I have the same problem, and I tried your fix with no avail. I then tried downloading save files off the internet and still nothing. Any ideas?

Im trying to load up Initial D Street Stage on PPSSPP v0.9.6.2 with Windows 8 and every time I start it up it goes to a screen searching of mem sticks (a green box) then I get this i.imgur.com/34MgQT1.jpg

Merged.

Why the game is so flickering in my PPSSPP 0.9.9 ?

Also I noticed some bugs on the trees / environments such as this: (In the White Box)

   

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks before~

Only talking from Android experience but I think unticking "disable alpha pass" fixes the weird texturing glitch in the picture above.

Among other things.

IMO, Disable Alpha Test shouldn't really be used on Windows (it's disabled by default, iirc) unless you have a game that specifically requires it to fix glitches. The amount of games that it breaks is not worth the tiny speedup on Windows.

But, without the Disable Alpha Test being ticked, the game run really really slow & choppy on my pc
And I've already tested it out, there seems to be no difference, only the game got slower & choppy
Is there any other options?

I'm out of ideas. If the game is still too slow on your PC even with 2 frameskips, it's possible that you're stuck between glitchy but fast and slow but accurate.

Last thing that I can recommend:

Use Buffered Rendering and 1x PSP resolution.

The rendering resolution setting doesn't work on non-buffered rendering (it automatically scales to whatever resolution you are using) so even if you set it to 1x PSP, your videocard is still going to get hammered as it's rendering at whatever resolution your desktop is set to (probably 1360 x 768 like most laptops), especially since it only has 256 mb. IIRC, PPSSPP won't even let you change the rendering resolution if you're using non-buffered rendering.

If you set your rendering mode to Buffered, you may actually get a significant speedboost from using 1x PSP rendering resolution (and might fix the glitches on Initial D: Street Stage when coupled with simulate block transfer.)

BTW, don't forget to restart PPSSPP itself after changing stuff. Some of the graphics-related settings don't work right unless you restart the game or PPSSPP itself.

(Alternatively, if you really need to use non-buffered rendering, you can rightclick PPSSPP's exe, go to the Compatibility Tab, then tick Run in 640 x 480 resolution - that way, everytime you run PPSSPP, the desktop resolution automatically switches to 640x480, which means that non-buffered rendering will also render at that lower resolution.)

I love Initial D and i love this game. But i cant make it run balanced, if buffer rendering is ON the game runs smooth also the music, but the graphics looks like 8 bit. If i disable it the graphics are perfect, but the music sounds horrible :/ any of u have a special settings on Android in order to run it good?
My device is a Nexus 7 (2012)

Sorry for my bad english, and thanks in advance
