#1706 Lunar Knights Black Screen

[Jason Jones]

I'm attempting to run Lunar Knights using DesMuMe version 0.9.11. However, after the opening animation the screen is black and fails to display the title card. It is possible to advance past this and start the game normally, at which point the game runs as intended. However, the background in the sky is missing as well as the background for the map, and characters do not show up during conversations.

I have enabled Advanced Bus-Level Rendering but this has had no obvious impact.

change 3d renderer to softrasterizer instead of opengl.

[Jason Jones]

The 3d Renderer was already set to softrasterizer

[Jason Jones]

These are all my curently selected settings

[zeromus]

disable run filters on GPU. the title card is using the 3d engine, and your system doesn't have some of the required 3d capabilities

[Jason Jones]

I disabled the run filters and restarted DeSmuMe but the title screen still showed as all black, and characters still didn't display while speaking.

Try resetting all options to default. Try running any other game that uses 3d.

[Jason Jones]

I reset all settings to default and tried again with no improvement. I then restored the settings to the above posted and downloaded and ran Super Mario 64 with no problems whatsoever.

[zeromus]

use a newer osx nightly build and fiddle with the "TXT" hack if it has it, and the depth comparison threshold in any event

[Jason Jones]

I was able to solve my issue by downgrading from v0.9.11 of DeSmuMe to v0.9.10. I don't know what part of that change solved it but the game now displays everything as intended.

[Jason Jones]

When you compare the settings of the two side by side, both the emulation and 3D rendering settings are the same. However, between the two versions it appears v0.9.10 has an option for no output filter while v0.9.11 requires an output filter. That might be it.

The left image is the settings for v0.9.10 while the right is for v0.9.11

[zeromus]

Nah, that's not it. The problem is a 3d rendering bug or quirk in whichever version youre using. Changing to opengl renderer would probably fix it, though not positively.

[Jason Jones]

Should I change the status of the report?
