Baten Kaitos and v3.0-355

[Ozounerip]

I tried to play Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean on the newest dolphin build v3.0-355. Game speed is from 25-30fps but when I go to shop and try to sell it crashes. Sometimes the music freezes at the same time. Is this an old bug?

Same problem here and i may have more infos on it.

I tested the game on Dolphin 3.0 and on git 183/191/305/368 with different graphics options and they all have the same issue. The game runs perfectly and flawlessly except in the post-battle loot screen and the buy/sell screen where the game will randomly crash. Dolphin will just crash to desktop or FPS will drop to 0 and the music will continue or the game will hang and the music will be like a broken CD. This problem seems to always happen when you have a photo magnus on the screen (you can take photos from enemies in battle and it becomes an object in the inventory, at first the photo is bright, after some time it is clear and after some more time it is dark).

If i have EFB Copy to Ram checked with safe texture cache, the game hangs as soon as i select a photo magnus. If i have fast texture cache or EFB Copy to texture, i need to stay several seconds on screen with a photo magnus to make the game crash.

I also tested the game on Dolphin rev 7658 and 7714. The issue isn't there but there are other problems :
- background is black in buy/sell screen
- the photo magnus in the inventory have some weird colors (blue or green)
- in the list of all magnus, the description is correct but the picture is not the right one sometimes (a banana item with a sword picture or an explosive item with an oar picture).

Hope this helps.

These are random crashes. The game is still playable

These crashes are completely random, yes. But, as i said, when you have a photo magnus in your inventory on these screens, the game crashes 99% of the time (almost certainly after you fight a boss because you want a photo of him for massive cash and when you sell your photos at the merchant).

i dont feel like the crashes are random for me with the latest revision 3.0-631. The game seems to crash every time i finish a battle and it goes to the item drop screen. maybe my cpu cant process it? the game drops down to 1fps and hangs =( please tell me there is something i can do about this =) thanks

try "Skip EFB Access from CPU"
that sounds like 1fps hangs (was in MH3)

but there are also other games with problems at ingame photos..
