Sega Saturn (YabaSanshiro) Panzer Dragoon Crashing after 10-15 minutes

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

I’ve gotten YabaSanshino to work with Panzer Dragoon Saga but it keeps crashing on me after playing for around 1-15 minutes. The sound will cut off and when I try to exit the entire RetroArch app crashes. I’m running this on a Windows 10 PC with Intel Xeon Processors and a Radeon 470 (which I assume is not being utilized with the openGL renderer). Core settings: force HLE BIOS: disabled Auto-frameskip: enabled addon cartridge: 1M_extended_ram polygon mode: perspective_correction resolution mode: 4x RGB mode: original RGB compute: disabled

I’ve recorded a verbose log file and will attach or copy momentarily

Also, I’m currently using the US v1.0 Bios. I had the same issue using the US 1.0a and 1.01a Bios files.

For many reasons explained in other topics, i stopped maintaining and providing support for that core.

I recommend using beetle-saturn or kronos instead.

Thanks for the reply, good to know! Today I’ve actually been testing out the Kronos Core and am having some issues with that as well. Are there some first-time setup tips I should know about? Right now the emulation technically works but the framerate is bad and the sound it stuttering. Also in order for it to not throw an incompatible-cartridge error I have been forcing HLE Bios.

Actually I figured out that VSYNC was slowing everything down. Switching it off has made performance smooth as butter : )

#6

With Kronos ? While i know “Panzer Dragoon Saga” is doing some weird check on the cartridge (supposedly some kind of protection against people using an action replay to switch game’s region), that’s the first time i hear about someone triggering this message in Kronos.

What are your core options to trigger this ? Is it happening at boot or later ?

In Kronos ???

#7

The VSYNC was slowing everything down in Kronos for some reason, turning it off sped things up again.

I’ve been needing to have ‘force HLE Bios’ selected in Kronos or else the game boots, then kicks me to the BIOS menu with a cartridge error. Let me get you some screenshots of the core settings I have.

@jakebot I tried pretty much anything :

  • using the exact same DW (DarkWater) rip
  • using what i assume to be your bios (usa v1.0)
  • using exactly the same settings (minor the HLE bios, which is deprecated and might disappear in the future), including the vsync

I can’t reproduce this bug at all… btw, are you using 64bits or 32bits version of retroarch ? Also, could you try disabling HLE bios again and this time, just for a test, setting the addon cartridge to another value (let’s say 1M_backup_ram) to see if it solves anything ? You can set everything back afterwards. I suspect the real bios to detect some kind of corruption on the backup cartridge (your savefiles are clean, right ? you didn’t import them from somewhere else ?), if my theory is right then setting the cartridge to another value should prevent the issue.

I’m unsure whether I have the 32 or 64 bit version of RA, here’s a screenshot of the info screen:

I tested running PDS on Kronos with the 1mb_Backup_RAM option and forceHLE off and it appears to work normally now! My save file is brand new from playing on this emulator.

On the other forum titled “Kronos very poor compatibility and peformance” I posted about issues streaming the game with these settings using steam link. Seems like the framerate and audio takes a hit unless I have the desktop menu active, then it runs like normal. Any thoughts on why that might be happening?

Glad to hear it, that means it’s not some weird real bios bug, your 512k backup ram (that’s what will be created for this game when set to “auto”) probably just got corrupted for some reason, it happens.

If you are saving on internal memory anyway, you can probably go back to auto and get rid of that file, it’s in the RA_SAVEFILE_FOLDER/kronos/saturn/, should be named Panzer Dragoon Saga (Disc 1 of 4) (USA) (DW0575)-ext512K.ram.

Leave Panzer Dragoon Saga (Disc 1 of 4) (USA) (DW0575).ram alone though, it’s your internal memory :wink: .
