#STAR OCEAN FIRST DEPARTURE R CHARACTERS INSTALL#

Im actually four hours into the game now. I soon updated to 0.9.5 to customise my control layout. With 0.9.1 i didn't get the frozen black screen.

#STAR OCEAN FIRST DEPARTURE R CHARACTERS INSTALL#

If it freezes on you with 0.9.5 then install 0.9.1 and disable the render buffering to see the characters.

Now for the very first battle in the game. Actually save and load your game file from the star ocean menu, not by ppsspp states. Once loading a load state you will get the frozen black screen soon as a battle states. In 0.9.5 you need to disable the stencil test on order to see the characters. Makes the game slightly playable (with Disable Stencil Test to fix invisible characters).Īs of now the issues I've encountered seem centered around how the emulator handles layers. This might also be a result of mucking with render settings, but I'm not sure. QUICK EDIT: After savestating past the initial cutscreen/blackscreen room, hitting escape and returning to game eliminates the black area, similarly to entering a building. I'm currently mucking around trying to find a fix, got nothing so far. Going into a house will restore the screen back, but as the black screens are caused by dialogue boxes of any kind, its a moot point trying to play further. The size of the remaining square is identical to that of the vertical closing before the shrinking, and it is during the shrinking where the black screen appears. When exiting a dialogue window, the window will first close vertically before shrinking off-screen. In these screenshots, I had talked to two different NPCs. However, after that point any closed dialogue boxes, be it from item gets or npc chat, causes the screen to go black everywhere but where the dialogue box had closed (What you described as the 'little bar of screen visible'). The initial black screen after the into video is avoidable by making a mad dash to the exit before it darkens.

After some mucking about, I've come to the conclusion that any black screen issues involve a glitch with dialogue boxes. Star ocean 2 works fine for me but not this one for some reason. Couldn't get any build or setting to stop doing it and only seen 1 other guy mention the same problem but no answer.
