Bsnes mercury not loading good roms

Libretro Cores
#1

I have a several roms that used to work fine with the mercury balanced version of bsnes and they’re not loading now. They load fine in the non-mercury version, and I tested performance and accuracy mercury and they don’t load there either. Snes9x also loads them, for what it’s worth.

I’ve attached a log file of trying to load Chrono Trigger, but it doesn’t seem that helpful to me.

It’s pretty random, some roms load, some don’t.

This is across two systems, both Win10 64bit, but different hardware. I can provide if needed.

yeah, that log doesn’t include anything helpful, AFAICT. Chrono Trigger loads fine for me with bsnes-mercury-balanced. Does it consistently fail for you or just sometimes? Can you list any other games that are giving you trouble?

#3

It consistently fails.

Super Metroid also fails, as does Donkey Kong Country 2. I can go through my whole library if it helps.

#4

Someone else reported the same behavior on github and mentioned a few other games. radius posted a backtrace that points the finger at cheevos:

This build I made seems to handle at least some of the games a little better, though, so there may be other things afoot, as well:

Ok, cool.

Easy enough work around to either use non-mercury or no cheevos until it’s fixed.

Thanks.
