black screen

[ZeroX4]

in each game if in rendering mode i select skip buffer effects i always get black screen?

which option im missing? or which i need to disable?

Skip buffer effects works fine in Crisis Core and a few other games for me - which games does it not work in for you?

That said, like anything that skips doing things the real PSP does do, it won't work in all games. I'm pretty sure God of War, GTA, and various other popular games require buffered rendering to see the game.

Frameskipping can also cause weird and unexpected issues when skipping buffers, so might try turning that off or changing it to a different value.

Im having something of the same issue. Buts its not all my games, its just one save state of final fantasy tactics. the game itself loads up normally, but when i load my save it goes black. i changed my mode from buffered rendering to non buffered and the game went black. changing it back did nothing. since i hadnt saved in 30 45 minutes i saved thinking it would fix itself on a reset. any suggestions? im using version 1.3 for 64bit windows

It sounds like the save is corrupt. Does it work on a real PSP?

Note: cheats can permanently break saves.

1st thing i would try is to start new game and check if when i make new save i can load it without problem

that would tell me if its problem with something now or is it only problem with old saves

@wraith0981 if you ment savestate - try changing rendering resolution, I think recent change which avoids destroying FBO's left some cases where they should be destroyed like when changing rendering modes and loading savestates. Opened a new issue for that.

But if you ment loading savedata then yeah it could be corrupted as [Unknown] mentioned, especially if cheats were involved as lots of those made on psp were very low quality, lacked any safety checks and caused various myths like for example "patapon 3 infection" where people blamed "hackers", where all it was just an awfuly made cheat that by accident was messing up very important pointers in game.
