#1156 Bowser's Inside Story Hangs on First Midbus Fight

[Anonymous]

Okay, the bug report I have is just as I said above. I am using Desmume 0.9.7svn4172 and every single time I try to do the first Bowser vs. Midbus fight (near the start of the game when he doesn't have his fire breath), the screen doesn't properly 'split' and after Fawful says "He has a big punch!" and I push A to go past that..... the game freezes with the sound repeating.

I thought at first this was a issue with 'copy protection' but apparently not.

Okay, I have to say that even on Desmume 0.9.7 final release this same bug appears on that fight. The game 'freezes' and the sound goes wonky.

Okay, I fixed this issue by switching in Sound Settings from Synchronous to Dual SPU Synch/Async.

Don't understand why this would cause a problem, but I figured I would inform you of this.

this shouldnt have been a problem since ages ago, although in recent svns timing was changed again somewhat. changing between those modes really shouldnt have any effect at all. if youre using savestates from an older build, results may be unpredictable and cannot be guaranteed. if youve got a savefile which i can use to see this in action by walking outside and then triggering the battle, then please supply it and ill take a look.

I just recently came across this very same bug on mine and I've found the fix to it.

Config > Emulation settings > check the box labeled "Enable Advanced Bus-level Timing". This fixed my problems and, so far, hasn't affected my gameplay.

Also, I -just- realized this ticket is over a year old, and no one has put this information on here. Oh well. It's here now for the future players of this awesome game. :3

My DeSmuMe 0.9.9 x86 is not fixed im gonna catch reshiram and o click him/her it freezes

[Anonymous]

if anyone is ever having trouble with version 0.9.10 x86, which introduced dynamic recompiler, TURN IT OFF for the battle, it will work :D but bus-level timing must be turned off, also has sound on dual spu

[Anonymous]

If you have the version 0.9.10 x64 TURN OFF the dinamick reconppiler but Turn on the Bus level timing and the Dual CPU

[Anonymous]

I have openemu and when i play midbus it hangs what do i do

[zeromus]

follow the advice in this thread. If openemu doesnt expose those options, contact the author of openemu. We're not the author of openemu.

In order to fix this download WinDS PRO and run desmume through it and you can make it past the fight with midbus. It worked for me hope this helps.

[Anonymous]

you guy are bs artist none of the stuff above works I know I tryed

[zeromus]

All of the above hacks resulted in slightly nudging the timing which is what it takes to get past midbus. Some combination of repeating the voodoo above clearly works or people wouldn't write that it does. It's just not reliable. Good news for you, that means if you keep trying, you might get past it too.

For me the fight with that french block head face thing a ma bob's dog is another point of just insta freeze D: I got past the other shit with some of the other advice but this isnt working D: wut do i do D:
