After long play sessions with fast-forwards, game eventually corrupts and freezes/crashes about gba_mister

[RobertPeip]

I played through Firered at least 5 times with FF on all the time and never noticed any problem.
Same goes for many other games, as i use FF very often.
FF doesn't alter the timing and as the display output is independent of the framerate i cannot imagine what the problem shall be.

I don't say it's impossible, but i doubt it's a general bug of the feature, considering it was never reported and i haven't seen it in 50h+.

Overall it sounds more like SDRAM issues.
Did you ever try to run with DDR3 to rule that out?

I ran a memtest for 4 hours when I got it and there were no errors. This RAM is from MiSTer Addons. I can try running a new test I suppose.

That's kind of the answer I was looking for to see if it's something on my end or if it's expected the feature is unstable. Should I be seeing video glitching like crazy when fast forwarding? The feed looks like it has warped lines in the sides... But generally runs fine-ish.

I have a 32MB stick too so I can test with that.

I talked with Porkchop to be sure it came from him, and I did a SDRAM test at his request, and it came up all green after a 10 minute Auto test. It settled at 150MHz for the majority of the test.

I meant to mention that Pokemon Double Plus ended up crashing randomly while walking. It went to a white screen and the audio literally threw up on my speakers. All incoherent noise that hurt quite a bit.

@RobertPeip I'll mention this here, but is it possible it is my De10-nano?

If it was the SDRAM, could the SDRAM make the GBA2P core output [email protected] through the HDMI port?:

My vsync is 0, and everything else is default in my ini except composite_sync=1, ypbpr=1, and video_mode=8 (for 1080p). I've confirmed with the MiSTer FPGA support Discord. They don't know what could cause that, as it outputs 60hz for them.

[RobertPeip]

any new results on that one?

[Drakonas]

I think the longplay issues were due to a bad ram seating as far as I can tell. I still get weird audio glitches here and there. Not really sure but I think it may be something wrong with my De10-Nano at this point. I can close this.
