Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire // Get stuck when playing the startup video

[flashhub97]

The 20241219 version core will get stuck when playing the startup video of the Three Kingdoms game. The problem started from the earliest 20241208.

fmv playback is working perfectly on current dualSDRam build 20250111

@flashhub97 Could you restest with the last stable (or unstable) version of the core, please ?
And update the status following your results.
Thanks.

@flashhub97, Does the video get stuck in the first iteration or after a few?
I've watched it a few times and it didn't hang.

Sorry for the late reply. I found a new situation. It seems to recur every time for the Japanese version of this game [Sangokushi IV (Japan)], but it has a certain probability of recurring for the English version (more likely to occur when starting for the first time). The above is tested with MISTER PI under 20250111 and 20250113 versions (DR&SR).

I cannot reproduce it at the moment on core 2024-01-17 Dual RAM.

And I let the introduction fully playing 3 times for each game without any freezes.

I will retry the tests on a MiSTer Pi later today.

I've tested :

• Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV - Wall of Fire (USA);
• Sangokushi IV (Japan);
• Sangokushi IV with Power-Up Kit (Japan).

CHD format, Hi-Saturn 1.03 region free hacked BIOS.
With a Dual RAM MiSTer system, and a MiSTer Pi (Batch 2) with a Single RAM - core version 2025-01-17.

Letting each of them running for 10 minutes.

I can't reproduce the error at all, and so I can conclude that it doesn't seem to be a core issue.
