Chrono Trigger bug in latest WIP (not the flashing bug)

Post by jsnake »

I've noticed a bug in the latest WIP of ZSNES (9/4/06) in Chrono Trigger that I can't recall happening in the past versions. Basically, after walking around in the game for a few minutes, the characters seem to stop their walking animations. They don't completely stop moving, but the game doesn't move to the next frame of the walking (or running) animation. It's as if they're static sprites moving in place.

To the best of my knowledge, this was not present in past ZSNES versions. Here is the NSRT info of the rom.

System specs? It sounds like you are using frame skip though, which can cause something like this to happen.

AMD Athlon XP 3200+ 2.2Ghz, NVidia GeForce 6600GT, 1024MB DDR400 RAM. Max frameskip is set to 0.

Edit: I think it's a timing issue.. you'll wait to wait for the new core (please don't ask for an ETA).

Ah, I had suspected that. Well, I can wait.

jsnake, watch the CT intro to see just how bad the timing issue can get.

This bug is most severe in the Gaurdia forest, any time period. Immediatly after entering you no longer have walk animations, your team members can't keep up with you, and monsters don't appear until you get really close. It's kinda funny looking.

I'm not entirely sure if this is fixed in 1.51, but whatever is currently in SVN is more like this bug report atm. I'll leave this here for now.

This appears to be fixed as of r4538 - see my post on the other thread: http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8276

Hopefully that can be replicated. Congrats!
