Star Fox 2 (Private Build) Bug in current CVS source

Post by ieremiou »

After building the current CVS source(01/26/05) with MinGW, I tried StarFox 2 and it starts flickering madly and is slower than it is in ZSNES 1.42.

I checked to make sure I was using the right rom. NSRT said my checksum was wrong and the NSRT -fix fixed it up. I checked if the patch was the problem so I disabled auto-patch and the flickering remained.

I remember seeing a fix to some Super FX things and StarFox being committed to the CVS recently and I just don't remember what it was..

Ah finally found it after doing a number of builds...

cvs: zsnes/zsnes/src/cpu/execute.asm
Revision 1.134 - (view) (download) (annotate) - [select for diffs]
Sun Jan 23 03:16:33 2005 UTC (3 days, 23 hours ago) by pagefault
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.133: +0 -6 lines
Diff to previous 1.133

Fix starfox speed and a number of superfx issues for now

When this change occured from there on Star Fox 2 (Private Build) has been slower and flickering. Before everything worked properly for the most part.

I hope this helps or if you're aware of this I appologize for wasting your time.

EDIT: I can see why this was removed I hope this can be fixed recently after testing it myself I realize it was a fix to the video hanging issue in StarFox but to me the flickering is worse. lol.

Lol okay so I should be shot.
Lol. I know how much this forum loves to flame.
I suggested it upon inaccurate knowledge that's been spread too much.
Not to offend just to defend.

I don't mean to flame you. But please, don't call my work the same thing as someone else's work, especially when he had newer work and expressly asked his old work to be forgotten.

Starfox 2 will need a lot of my time to fix. So if people really want this fixed don't expect me to work on anything for a while.

I concur with grinvader here. Screw Star Fox 2 if it bogs down other, more important stuff.

Someone got an old SF2, and modified it.
A copy or two of that was given out.
Then that someone fixed up SF2 even more.
A few copies of this was now given out.
Then the older limitly released copy was labled as BETA TD.
I then took that someone's latest work and fixed it up more than that and labled it Private Build.

Implying my work is the same as someone else's outdated work is a shot worthy offense.
