Title: Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, dood!
Genre: Action/Platform
Region: US

Notes: Problem with voices, not good rendering during cutscenes and dialogues.




edit: I don't know if this is the right place to post emulation problems, please move the thread if necessary, I apologize for the inconvenience if that's the case.

Hello, I'm making a new thread for Prinny 2 as the former one was for another region and was only tested on a former version of ppsspp.

The game runs just fine, no lag, and good sound, howeover, when it comes to cutscenes and in dialogues on the overworld, I noticed the voices are not normal, it's hard to describe, it's like the actors are talking into a fan, the voice lags and you feel empty spots inside their dialogue, and the voices are something crackling a little bit, to be more precise, I'm going to attach a video to show you the problem. I put the debbug statistics with it, I don't know much about emulators so I don't know if that could help.
It's too big for an attachment so I uploaded it on Mediafire:
http://www.mediafire.com/watch/fduyis8vl...roblem.avi

The voices are pretty fine during the gameplay and the selection screen, though.

So I would like to know if there is a way to solve this problem.

What I enabled in the audio options are "Enable sound" only, "Low latency audio" is not enabled.
Does this audio problem has something to do with other options?
Just in case, here are the graphics options:



Graphics:

Mode: Non-buffered rendering

Framerate Control: Frameskipping: 1
Prevent FPS from exceeding 60 (speed up GoW) : enabled
Aternative Speed: 100%

Features: nothing enabled

Performance: VSync : disabled
Hardware Transform : enabled
Vertex Cache : enabled
Low quality splines and bezier curves (speed up) : disabled

Texture Scaling: Upscale Level: off
Upscale type: xBRZ
Deposterize : disabled

Texture Filtering: Anisotropic filtering: 16x
Texture filter: auto

Hack settings: Disable Alpha Test (PowerVR speedup) : disabled
Disable stencil test: disabled
Always depth write: disabled
Teture coord speedhack (speed up) : enabled

Overlay information: Show FPS counter: enabled (it alxays shows 30 ingame by the way)
Show debug statistics: disabled (should I show you something in it?)

Debbuging : Software rendering (experimental) : disabled


And the system options:



System:

Emulation: Fast memory (unstable): disabled
Multithreaded (experimental): enabled
I/O on thread (experimental) : enabled
Change CPU clock (default=0): 0
Atomic audio locks (experimental): disabled

Nothing else touched.



And finally, here my computer statistics:

CPU: Intel QuadCore i7 - 2670QM 2.2Ghz (can go to 3.1Ghz maximum)
GPU: NVidia GeForce 610M 2GB
RAM: 6GB DDR3 533MHz
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit
Audio cards: Intel Unknown @ Intel Cougard Point PCH
RealTek ALC269 @ Intel Cougard Point PCH



And that should be it, note that I really don't know much about computers so I'm providing informations that are maybe useless, if I need to bring you any other information, please tell me what and how to give you these.

PS: I played the first game "Prinny: Can I really be theHero?" with the same configuration and I had zero problems, graphics and audio fine, so I don't know if it's because this game is not well emulated for now on this emulator or if it comes from the rom itself.

Thanks in advance!

may i asked what PPSSPP build version are you using?

[globe94]

* maybe the stable version, coz the details didnt show..
* software skinning, vertex jit decoder, rewind snapshot frequency
* or something like that

You can download the latest build here:

See if there's any difference.

I don't remember what build it was, as I lost the file name and moved the emulator, but it was some time ago, maybe a few months, but I tried the latest build and in fact, the voices are now ok, they are not cut, they still crackle a little, but maybe that's just me.

Ah, so it was that simple. Thanks Raimoo.

You're welcome

Side note: The voices have always had poor sound quality even on real hardware. When the game was dubbed, NIS cheaped out for some reason, which is a damn shame since the first game didn't sacrifice quality.

Hi guys!
I'm trying to play Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! on my Zenfone 2 ZE500CL, but i notice that in certain situations the game goes from 60 stable fps to 10-20 in a sec.
There's a specific configuration i have to use with this game?
Or it's not yet 100% compratible with ppsspp?

[rikimtasu]

Did you try the latest dev build first? It might have fixs for x86 CPU that zenfone 2 had:

You can aslo read the old thread about it:

Merged. Please try to post in the game's original topic rather than making new ones.
