Sonic Rivals 2

[EvilKingStan]

Starts off full speed going through menus. Everything shows. Perfect. I haven't checked other game modes, but I selected free play, chose my character and all that jazz. When the level started though, All I saw were black and blue lines, with the countdown at the top before the race starts, and the progress meter at the bottom. After checking different settings, switching off buffered rendering will fix the black stripes issue., but the character and level itself are still invisible. (Unless you're jumping, then you can see the character.) For now at least it doesn't display enough graphics to be playable.

It does the same things for me too , will they be able to Fix this?

[DuderComputer]

Same thing happens with the first Sonic Rivals as the games are nearly identical.

v0.8 -6 still has this issue, black lines and game rendered upside down.

Taking buffered rendering off produces just a black screen.
Same issue as Death Jr II

[Tezuka]

I still have the same issue where it shows you upside down, Would love to play this game again, as my brother has the psp in repairs atm.

Hi, I'm really new on here, not tried PSP emulation before as I didn't even know it could be done... pleased to see it seems to be coming on fine.

But anyway, I wondered if anyone could help me please?

The emulator boots up perfectly- I have been trying to run Sonic Rivals 2 but with limited success. The sound and menus all work perfectly. However, when you access the gameplay some strange effects are observed. The game plays upside down! Still to the right, but upside down- there are four black lines across the screen also, evenly distanced which cover around a third of the screen...
The foreground UI- rings, lives, etc. are all the right way up though. The game appears to be running very nicely in the background- the graphics are perfect- It's just obviously having lines through the screen and an upside down playing field ruins the experience somewhat. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Many thanks for any help.

Given that the issue you mentioned is related to this game in particular, you should have posted in the game's thread

I move your post in it.

Sorry... and thanks... So I guess other people are having this issue... Any updates on fixing it?

This game needs to be tested again with the newest version.

[thedarkgod]

In the latest build I cant seem to get any visuals whatsoever.

[SeiRyuu]

you can see intro, menu, etc but not with gameplay with non-buffered render:

but you can see anything with buffer render turned on (idk but this seems a bit bright):


note: if you turned on buffer render mid game you'll get blackscreen

[Obi55]

Any fix yet?

[Foffy]

Any fix yet?

You can enable buffer render as mentioned in the post above yours, but you have to handle the increased brightness.

[Obi55]

I know about that, but its pretty hard to handle.

[[Unknown]]

If you use Debug -> GE Debugger, and hit step draw, is the brightness ever correct?

Also, if you use the software renderer (it will be jaw droppingly slow) is it correct there? Or is it also wrong there (which would mean we don't even know why)?
