[PS VITA] Golden sun effects missing

[HammerD72]

In battle when using psynergy or summons, the magic effects are simply invisible.

Using the latest Playstation Vita nightly as of this post. Vba next 1.0.2 110ab08

I tried the latest stable (1.7.3) and the effects are visible but retroarch crashes when using summons.

it could either be one of many tweaks thats enabled for VITA, including frameskip. i fixed one gfx-related tweak thats causing a crash for summons as you have said.

if you still have your vita, can you capture a vid of these missing effects and the settings used?

The issue is still there. I will make a video ASAP. I love this emulator because other than the effects missing it runs Golden Sun almost perfectly.

Is this project no longer being maintained?

whats wrong with other gba cores running Golden Sun?

anyways missing effects as well in Summon Nights 2. noticeable during crafting, when done it will only show white flash

@matthewbauer I sent a PR that at least fixed missing visual effects in Summon Nights 2 that i noticed. Might probably fix these missing effects in Golden Sun as well.

If you can provide savestate and savefile just incase this problem is still not fixed after the PR is merge, i would look more into it when i have time.

AFAIK they don't run the game full speed. But will double check and come back to you.

Awesome, hopefully the original dev will check this. If he doesn't, any chance you could push these changes somewhere else?

you can check from my repo and compile it. are you using this on Vita as well? coz that should where the can have be significantly faster. https://github.com/negativeExponent/vba-next/tree/fix_missing_effects

Gonna have to google how to do that, but thanks.

are you using this on Vita as well?

Yes I am! 👯‍♂

@herrmartell the PR has been merged. it should be now available in online updater or on the buildbot site. if problems still exist, send me the save file AND save state for golden sun thats near the affected area. I could play it myself, but im in the middle of Summon Nights 2 atm :D

[negativeExponent]

this should be working now. no more invisible effects.

[negativeExponent]

i guess this should already have been fixed.. unless someone can confirm that it is not...

[permadart]

I can confirm this has been fixed. Thank you very much, and great job.

[negativeExponent]

thanks for the confirmation. since this is for Golden Sun and DJinn summon on Vita, i guess this crash issue is solved and can be closed as well...

(PS VITA) - Golden Sun (S)(Independent) - Crash Invoke Djinn #78

[Testsr]

close it.

[negativeExponent]

this should be safe to close now @twinaphex @hizzlekizzle
