Expect there to be bugs in non buffered.

Non buffered is really a bad name. "Buffering disabled" is a much better name.

This feature intentionally prevents the game from being able to use buffers. It also doesn't use a buffer for the emulator. But the two are married together. Games use buffers to draw effects, and when the buffers are all disabled, those effects can't work properly.

Is this game even playable? It keeps crashing the emulator. I can't even get past the first stage. Using 0.9.8 stable release. Also any why to fix the flashing double image? It does this in battle,FMV's, and all text.

Here is one of the error reports

The other error I got said something like about waiting on emu thread timed out. Or something like that.

Try using the latest git build instead. I think it will work better.

It still crashes on the latest git version. Oh well

I just went from new game to act 1-2 just fine. Maybe you have a bad rip, try pulling it from your PSP again.

I think something else is the problem and it seems to be on my end.

Make sure you're not using "read framebuffers to memory" or anything. Try resetting the settings to the defaults.

Any fix for the garbage text display in this game? When I access any shop, the item text display is all messed up no matter which setting I use. And the screen in D3D9 backend for this game is not properly rendered, or should I say,the display in the emulator window is not entirely stretched in D3D9 backend.

It seems that whenever there isn't a text box present in game, the controller button icons vanishes from sight (Directional Pad, R, L, Triangle, Square, Circle, X, Select, and Start). Each button still responds when pressed and they'll only ever reappear again, once a text box presents itself in game or in battle.

Of course I could be wrong. But that's what happens to me.

I'm using the latest version (1.0.0.0).

Merged.

Are you using Non-buffered rendering by any chance?
Change to Buffered rendering.

Bug Report: Wild Arms XF freezes PPSSPP just after selecting game. No obvious loading of the game has taken place. PPSSPP must be forced-closed

Hardware: Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (Exynos ARM64)
Settings: Default, Default + disable-buffered
Affected PPSSPP version: 1.0.1-832
Working PPSSPP version: 1.0.1

It does appear to work on Windows x86_64 PPSSPP 1.0.1-832

EDIT: Alright folks. I bisected and found the regression occurs between 1.0.1-670 and 1.0.1-676.

Might be related to 671: Move file loader code into directories?

It's better to provide full version numbers. There are two v1.0.1-671's: v1.0.1-671-g1d1c80d and v1.0.1-671-gda827d9. This is because git allows parallel development, and the number is just the count of changes since the last release (so if there are two people working at once, they could both be working on the first change.) If that seems complex, just know that it's not linear.

Anyway, your range actually points to https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/pull/7839. It can't be v1.0.1-671-gda827d9. Probably v1.0.1-674-gfed687f is the most likely suspect, I'll have to test.

Thanks for replying. The two builds I narrowed it down to were from the Orphis archives.

Working: v1.0.1-670-g650687d
Nonworking: v1.0.1-676-g7dbe282

I would have loved to narrow it down by git commit but I don't have a proper build environment to create apks. Fwiw, I was setting up sdk to try and take a crack at it but I'm very unfamiliar with the tools

I just tried 857 which includes your fix from issue #7936

This does fix the issue for me, so thank you very much for that
