I really can't pinpoint this. I think it might happen on the frame the 
framerate changes

I hope to implement this into the recentmenu class (that is ported into other 
emulators too).  Basically if a recent item fails to load it should ask the 
user if they want to remove it from the list.

This is a rather low priority issue however.

Ideally there would be one or both of these options:

-loadstate "filename"
loads a specified filename as a savestate

-loadstate slotnum
accepts 0-9 as arguments and loads the appropriate slot number

This is a weird one and I haven't managed to track down the cause.  But often, 
you will see the hour glass cursor like PSXjin is thinking heavily or 
something.  It will never go away until you mouse over the menu or off the 
emulator, then it will behave normally.

The user needs to be able to convert a binary or text movie back and forth.  
Preferably by a menu item on the emulator.  If not, then a small stand alone 
app.

3. No response from the game, works fine on other emulators

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the game to start normally like on other emulators, but that is not 
the case, as the game loads up to the "This game requires Dualshock to work 
properly" screen, and  after that the game screen goes black and doesnt 
finishing loading the intro, rather it freezes. Game works fine on other 
emulators.

The loading screen (of traffic tapes) is expected to last around 40 seconds, 
however, at one point, it stutters, and then the screen freezes, and it will 
not start up again.

If it's of any help, I know that on an actual disk the loading screen will 
stutter and freeze (my controller even cuts out), but after about 5 or 10 
seconds, it will start up again. Oh, and ePSXe also works (but it just has a 
black screen instead of the loading screen). http://puu.sh/cvslr/f497d249ae.jpg 
The bottom red number (I suppose is dead frames?) started as 748, and then 
gradually went up to 751 before shooting up.

Currently the 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x window size menu items are disabled when a game is 
loaded.  This is because they fail to resize the GPU drawing area when a game 
is loaded.  This should be fixed and they should not be disabled when the a 
game is loaded.

Try one of the following games:

Arkanoid Returns (probably the best way to see it)
Fatal Fury - Wild Ambition 
Road Rash

Run one of those games and play for a while - ideally record a movie and use 
savestates to avoid mistakes, cause then when the bug happens you will 
immedately recognize it - every now and then the controls will freeze - meaning 
the game completely stops recognizing any player input. After like 2 seconds 
everything works again and behaves like normal until it happens again. This 
happens regardless if you record something or not.

In any game where it happens, it seems to be happening perodically, so it might 
be triggered by something those games do that others dont.

Although I have only heard it occur in Final Fantasy VII (PAL), I suspect the 
issue exists in other games as well -- several effects and/or sounds are 
severely distorted.

Early examples:

-- Cloud's attack: Almost inaudible it seems like.
-- The alarm after placing the bomb in the first reactor: Distorted, seems like 
it's missing channels and the volume is excessive somehow.
-- The Tail Laser attack of the first boss: Distorted and excessive volume.
-- The explosion of the door and subsequent flames after escaping the first 
reactor explosion: Does not even sound remotely like it should sound.
-- The train ride soon after that: The sound of the train going along the 
tracks is distorted and the volume, once again, seems excessive.

Some of these issues can partially be improved upon by switching the ingame 
sound to mono but only partially and only a few issues. Given the fact I ran 
into half a dozen issues within the first 20 minutes of the game, I suspect 
hundreds more exist throughout the title.

Suggesting something more general than just FF7 being quirky is going on.

There was no combination of psxjin sound options I could arrive at that came 
even close to improving the sound quality; in fact, no option had much of an 
impact other than mildly improving distortion here and there but nothing to 
make FF7 sound like it does on console.

We want to have the ability to load more than one lua script at a time.  The 
plan would be to port this from the GENS rerecording emulator.

1. Play Spyro 3 (NTSC tested, but all versions probably fail similarly)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
One does not expect the anticrack checks to fire, but they do, causing the game 
to be unstable/not completable.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN trunk (r722) was tested, but the issue probably exists on v2.0.2 (and 
other/all?) releases too.

Please provide any additional information below.
PSXjin, in code that appears to be inherited from PCSX, has an ugly hack in an 
attempt to make exceptions that are raised when a GTE op is scheduled to be 
executed work properly.

On real PSX hardware, when such a situation occurs, the GTE op is performed in 
parallel with the exception handler being invoked. The BIOS then contains code 
to check whether the EPC points to a GTE op when the exception handler is 
complete. If it does, it skips it so that it is not executed twice, which would 
lead to slowdown, or worse, incorrect results in the GTE registers (if the op's 
output is used in the input as well). See [1].

PSXjin does not execute GTE ops in parallel with (ie. before) the exception 
handler is invoked, and hence needs to hack around the BIOS wanting to skip the 
GTE op on exception return. It does this by munging the GTE opcode in-memory so 
that the BIOS does not recognize it as a GTE op, and so that it returns to it 
again for execution post-invocation like any other op would.

In Spyro 3 there are two elements to its copy protection[2]. The first is a 
standard anti-modchip protection, which attempts to detect the presence of a 
modchip by looking for the CDROM controller picking up SCEx strings on sectors 
where they would not normally be found.

The second is a thorough checksumming of the game's binaries in-memory as the 
game is running. If the checksums do not match their expected values, the 
various routines scattered throughout the code will fire, which impede the 
player by removing progress, or making it impossible to proceed.

PSXjin's runtime patching of the game's binaries is causing these second 
checksums to be incorrect, leading to the anticrack routines firing.

There are two possible fixes to this problem.

The first is to correctly emulate the PSX and perform GTE ops before invoking 
the BIOS, and not patching the memory.

Likelyhood of adversely affecting existing games (desyncs, not working at all, 
etc.): Medium
Likelyhood of helping other games (that may be similarly affected): Low; it is 
unlikely many other games notice the GTE op patching.

Since this is not as good an option as the second, a patch is not provided, 
however it should be easy to do if necessary.

The second is to simply unpatch the patched GTE opcodes when the exception 
handler returns, ie. on RFE opcodes.

Likelyhood of adversely affecting existing games: Tiny
Likelyhood of helping other games: Low

Since this is the better of the two options, a patch is provided (against 
current SVN trunk, r722) which implements this fix.

It requires storing the patch information at runtime, with it being stored in 
savestates in a backwards-compatible fashion if ones are made during gameplay.

Thanks to Nitrofski (twitch.tv/nitrofski) for assisting in testing the patch!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
One expects the game to load and play normally, but it instead appears to 
freeze after the rating screen, before the first MDEC intro logo movie plays.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
PSXjin SVN trunk (r722), but replicated on v2.0.2 release as well.

Please provide any additional information below.
This is due to incorrect emulation of the CdlGetTD command. Namely, two things:
* It fails to handle non-CUE-using disc images correctly (due to the use of "= 
0" instead of "== 0" in the if predicate
* It fails to handle track 0 requests, where it should return the end of the 
last track

The attached patch (against current SVN trunk r722) fixes these issues, 
allowing Toy Story 2 to run. I wouldn't be surprised if this fixed other games 
too.

Thanks to crash41596 (twitch.tv/crash41596) for testing the patch!

Thunder and Ashley's footsteps are badly distorted, and other sounds like 
tapping a finger on a table in the intro basically just produces beeps. Looking 
at the WAV-output, the common denominator seems to be pretty bad clipping.

This is a golden oldie, seems almost no emulators can escape this. :)  Both 
ePSXe and the Eternal SPU plugin sound ok, though, so it's not impossible.

Due to the nature of the sounds that don't work, my guess is that it is a 
reverb-issue, but what do I know...

If you want to give this a try, I'd be most grateful, and can provide 
debug-runs with special printouts if that would help. I can build the project 
myself, so I'd only need patches for new tests and could do limited 
code-modifications as well if I just knew where to start. :)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Save game
2. Reset or end program.
3. Data saved can't be found.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Find saved game. Nothing.

Game: SUIKODEN II

It can load saved games from previous versions without any problem, it even 
seems to be saving games normally. But the next session any saved games are 
gone.

At some point we want to quit using the closed source input plugins we 
currently have, and use an integrated input system.  This will likely require 
writing one from scratch unless the code for some of these input plugins are 
available somewhere.

Eventually I want to implement "Movie finished" with the same behavior as 
Desmume & FCEUX.  Once a movie is completed it goes into movie finished mode.  
The user will have control over input, but the movie will still be in memory.  
Any savestate load will resume the movie.

This would be best accomplished by first merging together all the scattered 
save/load config functions (there is one in main, gpu, and spu, and many 
functions that save & load config items).  There needs to be single unified 
functions.  The ini is loaded once on startup, and saved once on exit.  Then 
those functions should be hooked up to menu items so the user can manually do 
it whenever they wish.

1. Selecting a codec from the VFW codec selection means the emulator will crash 
upon close
2. Colors seem messed up on avi captures, but they work fine when uploaded to 
youtube
3. The selected codec fails to be used it seems.  It seems to write everything 
as uncompressed frames.
4. Moving the window while the avi is capturing, interesting things happen to 
the avi

You can play the game normally, though. I am using the first official release 
of psxjin on Windows XP Home Edition 2002 Service Pack 2. Everything else seems 
fine.
