Resident Evil Series - Official Thread

So does anyone know if any of the recent (since r6900 or so) changes to the DSP plugin structure fix any of the persistent-for-years RE sound problems? I still have these issues:

- RE4 Wii version: sound does not loop on HLE/LLE plugin, plays once perfectly then cuts out (tried JIT/JITIL, idle skipping on/off, dual core on/off, NOTHING helped) - this is a MAJOR gameplay issue because the music plays when there are enemies attacking, and stops playing when you've killed them all so it's sort of a heads-up to the player like the radio in Silent Hill
- REmake GC version: sound very flaky - in r6496 it at least TRIES to play about 50% of the time, but sometimes cuts out even if it does start to play

It's so frustrating that Dolphin otherwise emulates most of the RE games PERFECTLY except for sound!!! Sometimes I think the only way to get dev attention to RE problems is to put Mario or Link in the f-ing game... Sad

Hi there again!

Yesterday I wanted to continue Umbrella Chronicles and a new problem came up: I can't use the knife anymore! I've been playing the game on SVN r5072 for a while now and it never happened before. I know that you have to press and hold A while shaking but for some reason it's not working. I play using the keyboard + mouse (emulated Wiimote + Nunchuck), I didn't change the button mapping or any of the configuration, and the A and shake buttons work fine independently.
Please help with your ideas because it's really frustrating to play without the knife...

I have not tried RE4 Wii Version, but I have played REmake for Wii and it plays perfectly. Try and get your hands on that version and give it a shot. Also I'm using r6907.

In newer revs (e.g. r7091) it seems that "Accurate VBeam emulation" is needed for RE1 Wii in order to get 30 FPS in all sections of the game (e.g. the problematic sections like during the intro video in the main hall or the room with the bird cage where the FPS drops to 25).
Now both RE0 and RE1 Wii run very smooth and full speed with this option enabled. Finally! Smile

Resident Evil Code Veronica Pal has always black screen in any way...

Are you sure that this cannot be solved as described in the first post of this thread? The game playes nice here except for some sound issues.

It's an issue with the Pal version apparently, disabling efb copies doesn't work for the pal version.

I have the NTSC-U and is working.(Disable EFB COPY)

**Xtreme2damax** · 02-07-2011, 12:06 PM **#769**

Yeah, I said it doesn't work with the Pal version only, NTSC-U version does work fine with efb copies disabled.

If that's the case then this is well worth opening a new issue Smile
