Everybody's tennis(Europe). Stuck on 'checking storage media'

[GigaMoonOfficial]

It's just stuck on this screen forever. This happens after the first tennis game you play.

Platform?
Android, PC?
What ppsspp version are you using?

[unknownbrackets]

Are you using the latest git build? Can you provide the logs? Does it create any save data? Did you use the data install feature?

Did you check the CRC of your disc to make sure you rippped it cleanly? Sometimes bugs like this are caused by bad rips.

People have reported this game working with a good CRC:

Ok what's the meaning of this.?

Game Details

It may be some new issue related to the new Android scoped storage stuff :(

Probably related to #14757

[ghost]

Hot Shots Tennis: Get a Grip USA suffer the same issue.

[hrydgard]

How did that last one happen? I don't think it's related to the other issue here, but who knows. There's a weird ':' at the end of the filename there, that might be the issue, but where does it come from...

[hrydgard]

I'm trying to figure out what might be going on here in general, didn't find much in the log above.
This is only on Android, right? Which version, and hardware? Where have you placed your memstick folder?

Latest version and stable version can reproduce this issue. Android 11 my games is located to my sccard I try also to put it on phone storage same issue.

[ghost]

I can also reproduce this on my ancient phone
the 1st time you open this game it's not corrupted but will stuck on checking storage then a second open of this game result to corrupted.

[hrydgard]

Hm, okay. Would be really useful to figure out when this error started happening. Is it present in the latest official version, for example? Or is it a later change?

[ghost]

I try older version of ppsspp 1.1.1 but same issue game still corrupted.

Maybe this game never work before? or some copyright protection of the iso :\

[hrydgard]

Okay, well that's useful information. At least it's not a scoped storage related regression then, though it should of course be investigated.

Can you check the CRC of the game to make sure it's not patched for old CFW?

Thanks, okay. And going back to my earlier comment, are you using the install feature?

Apparently, the game asks you to install data when you start a new game. What I'm thinking is maybe this only happens when you hit yes? Or does it always happen? It might be an issue with install data, and not actually an issue with savedata specifically. Installation data in PPSSPP is a lot less stable.

NO

Always happen.

EDIT: Im very wrong :( you ARE RIGHT UNKNOWN! It's the installation data is the cause of this isssue about stuck on checking storage and data corrupted.

I always fast-forward this game so I didn't notice that I always click yes hehehe.

[ghost]

I also found a different issue about graphics on my ancient phone.

[ghost]

Sad for my android 11 always corrupted :(

I test in windows 7,ppsspp v1.13.1-381-g5046cbd01
When game install, produce UCAS40307GAMEDATA\GAMEDATA.BDL with size 0 !!!
This is game install log: https://gist.github.com/sum2012/6b24685d6d3d31bc3953d83c2a3e8a54

[sum2012]

On hand build test
v1.1.1-440-g7eb662f good
v1.1.1-458-g29eea47 bad
compare: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/compare/v1.1.1-440-g7eb662f..v1.1.1-458-g29eea47
edit: Most likely #8308

[unknownbrackets]

Hm. What files are on the disc in PSP_GAME/INSDIR? Is it just GAMEDATA.BDL, and how big is that file?

I don't really see anything in that log that shows gamedata install finishing? It only calls sceUtilityGamedataInstallUpdate() once? That seems odd...

The sceUtilityGamedataInstallUpdate(0 fixed in v1.13.1-702-g91ff603fd (although font bug)(#15950)
I think that remain interface

Still stuck on now loading.
But I notice the now loading text doesn't show up in hw rendering unlike in sw rendering.
