yugioh ppsspp stuck (corrupt save)

[lordemort]

hi guys
i'm new here and i'm using ppsspp v1.0.1
now i'm playing this yugioh gx tag force 1
everything is fine, the duel,the card,the field..
but there is 1 thing that bothers me, i can't save my game when i've been this far.
Everytime i save the game, it always stuck in checking memory card and it won't proccess any further,
and it does feel uncomfortable if i use "save state" option to save the game
please help me to solve this problem and recover my save
Thanks

[ppmeis]

@lordemort which version? Official or latest svn? device? Platform?

[lordemort]

@ppmeis i'm using ppsspp for windows ver 1.0.1
its Yu-Gi-Oh Tag Force 1

when i save the game via the map it stuck in "checking memory card..."
others,like sound,animation, is still working normally, only the checking memory card screen just stuck there,also when i want to change my deck name it didn't show the alphabet keyboard on gray-background,so i just press change deck name and nothing happened

and also here is the log,
if i save via map,it stopped in "...wrong dialog type"
http://pastebin.com/0LHfj30b -->save via map

Hello sir sum2012 save dialog error still having in yugioh tag force

in ppsspp v1.0.1 i got this error HLE\sceUtility.cpp:123 sceUtilitySavedataInitStart(09c0c0f0): wrong dialog type

still not continuing save dialog in yugioh tagforce. please help us thank you

[sum2012]

@stealth62 Did you use save status or cwcheat ?

[stealth62]

i didnt use cwcheat ,yes i use save status i only use save state because im afraid to lose the progress because i tried normal saving the save dialog stuck up.

[stealth62]

like lordemort said im not comfortable also in save state. but if not possible due to mismatch checksum made by save state ,corruption etc., Only save state available i'll understand sir.

[sum2012]

What OS are you using ? (Windows XP,Windows vista,windows 7,etc )

[stealth62]

windows8.1 running in full administrator previleges

[sum2012]

Back up savedata
then delete it.
run ppsspp
load the game
Then load status
try in-game save

sir sum2012 now working. thank you very much for your help .more power to come godbless

[sum2012]

You can close this issue.
Anyway ,can you tell me how to reproduce bad save ?
eg:in-game->game save->duel->save status->load status->duel finish->cannot game save

[unknownbrackets]

So is this not an issue anymore? I'm not completely following the above...

-[Unknown]

[sum2012]

Yes ,there is no issue anymore,but I still no idea that how to reproduce bad save

[ghost]

@hrydgard confirmed no more corrupt save using ppsspp v1.9.3-761 git build, tried and tested in Yu-Gi-Oh GX Tag Force 1 and Arc V Tag Force Special

[hrydgard]

OK, so should we just leave it like this?

[ghost]

OK, so should we just leave it like this?

yes, also remove the outdated label.

[sum2012]

If no more saving issue in v11 ,then I think that we can delete the hack code.

[hrydgard]

Sounds good.

Wow, in this version my save is running fine. Thank you :)

@SessentaRV edit: Nothing

[sum2012]

@hrydgard @unknownbrackets He used v1.9.3-998-gc739d4e16 but still have saving problem.
Do we need revert the "YuGiOh save fix " code ?

[unknownbrackets]

Depends on how it was reproduced.

The problem is, when you open a dialog, the PSP firmware doesn't allow you to open a second dialog until the first one is closed. In part, this is because of memory allocation and other things - it can't manage both at the same time.

We had a bug in the network dialog that made it forget to "close" the dialog. Even though it was no longer displayed, the dialog was still considered open. This prevented opening any other dialog, including save dialogs.

The fix makes it so when the dialog is supposed to close, it is actually recorded as closed correctly. So now, if you never use an old version of PPSSPP, you should (hopefully) never have the problem. If the network dialog shows, it will get closed.

However, the fix doesn't help you if you already used an old version, and in this old version you opened the network dialog. The old version would not have recorded the dialog closing properly, and so even if you load the save state in a newer PPSSPP, the bug is preserved. The dialog will still be "open" and prevent any other dialog from opening.

So: if the bug was reproduced on an old version of PPSSPP, it's expected that using a newer version will not fix it. Was the bug reproduced on a newer version without ever using an old version of PPSSPP for that save state?

@SessentaRV When you first play yugioh ,do you version is really v1.9.3-998-gc739d4e16 ?

[SessentaRV]

@sum2012 Yes, i started playing exactly in this version until the bug appeared.

[danu394]

Any update?

[danu394]

I use android version, and dont find folder call combat.ini

[danu394]

My ppsspp save states.

[danu394]

@sum2012 help me

[Saramagrean]

I use android version, and dont find folder call combat.ini

@danu394 I think you can override compat.ini in PSP/SYSTEM/compat.ini.

Download this file & put in folder PSP/SYSTEM.

[ghost]

This is still an issue @SessentaRV ?

[unknownbrackets]

The best way to help get this fixed would be to try to find the shortest path to reproducing it. Specifically:

• Latest or recent git build.
• Absolutely no use of save states whatsoever.
• Debug logging enabled.

The most perfect scenario would be starting the game, and triggering this issue of being unable to save within 2 minutes. This would produce a long log, but it would be viable to search through it and potentially figure out the cause.

If you do encounter this issue, you can workaround it temporarily (between v1.9.3-761-g0e5957e67 and possibly v1.12 or so.)

1. Create a file named "compat.ini" inside PSP/SYSTEM (next to ppsspp.ini.)
2. Add the following content:
   [YugiohSaveFix]
   ULJM05151 = true
3. Change the "ULJM05151" in the content to the game ID of the game you're playing.
4. Restart PPSSPP (you may want to save state and load your state after the restart.)

@Gamemulatorer when you noted that this is still an issue, did you reproduce it without any save states whatsoever on a recent git build?

No I'm asking @SessentaRV if he can still reproduce this issue 😅

[ghost]

Curious why is this tag as Network/Adhock and not Saving Issue :)

[unknownbrackets]

It was (I believe) caused by networking code corrupting state and preventing other dialogs, like the save dialog, from running. That would mean it's not possible to hit if you don't have networking enabled. The real fix was in networking code.
