Grand Theft Auto - Vice City Stories

[Persephone]

Hello, I'm having major problems playing VCS. I've tried both the EU and US versions. Every time Vic tries to exit Fort Baxter for the first mission, the display adapter crashes and freezes the computer up entirely. I have to use Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open the Task Manager and force quit PPSSPP. LCS works just fine, so I'm not sure what's happening.

PPSSPP version: 0.9.8
Graphics card: AMD Radeon 6450.
OS: Windows 7 64-b
Processor: Intel i7-2600 CPU @ 3.4 GHz

Hi there,
I have 2 tips for you to try on Windows machines:

1).....Always use the 2 x screen size, for testing new games to see if they work or not, that way you have access to the menu bar at the top, where you can, stop the emulation, or reset it, or if none of that works, exit the emulator altogether, then when you are happy it works, then activate full screen mode (Alt-Enter).
2).....I see you are using the official release (0.9.8).
Have you tried the latest Beta build, which at time of writing this is: v0.9.8-651-g63da119.
Found here: http://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp/index.php

You may find that the latest build has solved that problem your having, if not have you got FastMem turned on, un-tick that and try again.

Hope that helps in some way my friend.

I saw videos how guys playing it normally. I tried to change PPSSPP version, change settings, but nothing don't help me. What's the problem is? What should I do?

by the way, about my first post. I have changed my phone and now everything is fine. So if someone will have same problem, you must know that it's problem in GPU. This lag is only on PowerVR devices. Adreno and Mali working fine

hello

I tried all settings but when I am in the city center on gta vcs I have a drop of framerates (10/15/20fps) and speed (about 50/60/70%)

I have a galaxy s5, maybe the device is not optimized yet?

Can anyone help me with this...

I just downloaded this emulator. I'm a brand new user. I am trying to make my GTA - Vice City Rom work. I unzipped the .rar file and when I open the rom in the emulator it will shit down after the intro. I'll click start start or 'X' on the button layout twice and then it will read unloadable maps? Any idea?

On latest build its playable but still slow on Android 1gb RAM phone. Does anyone has settings to make it faster? I dont like frame skipping.

[GuilhermeGS2]

Unfortunately I think there's no good way to run this game fast on android. I've tried many different settings, and it keep slower. The only way I think is using some hacks like frame skipping and others, but I don't like them.

good and fine

Hello friends. I tried playing this game today. I have an issue with it (not sure what to do about it).

I've tried the US and EU versions. Both times, I can get the splash/intro screens to load. Then the game starts a loading bar. It gets maybe five percent full before it freezes. When I turned on the FPS counter, I saw that this had frozen as well, meaning that there was no new information being loaded in.

I am not quite sure what is causing this, or what I can about it.

Hello.
How Teclast X98 AIR II with Dual boot or any other tablet with Intel Atom can handle this game? Is it playable (30fps+)?

I tried using the new version of PPSSPP but the game is not working; it is showing black screen. audio is working. If I press space bar then it works with transparent black screen. is there a way to fix it.

I have Windows 7 64 bit 2.3 ghz dual core processor with 64 mb dedicated video memory and 3 gb ram. I searched the forum but there is no particular fix; I have tried everything that is out there. so i have created a new thread

let me know
thanks


Update:

I used the v0.9.9.1-1212-g94f89ea automated built and the black screen problem is solved. You have change it to open3d9 for rendering backend option.
