The CDROM timings changes from Redux fixed a bunch of games (Crash Team Racing's intro no longer cuts off too early, Worms Pinball gets further instead of just crashing, FF8 Lunar Cry FMV no longer crashes etc...) but it broke the other games that relied on ADPCM samples, which is most noticeable in games like Castlevania or Megaman X4. According to nicolasnoble, we should not cause a delay if seek destination is c> However, this would require a lot more work so in the meantime, let's do just that and add a comment. --- diff --git a/libpcsxcore/cdrom.c b/libpcsxcore/cdrom.c index 647a1b6c..26f68ac3 100644 --- a/libpcsxcore/cdrom.c +++ b/libpcsxcore/cdrom.c @@ -1183,6 +1183,19 @@ void cdrReadInterrupt() { int ret = xa_decode_sector(&cdr.Xa, cdr.Transfer+4, cdr.FirstSector); if (!ret) { cdrAttenuate(cdr.Xa.pcm, cdr.Xa.nsamples, cdr.Xa.stereo); + /* + * Gameblabla - + * This is a hack for Megaman X4, Castlevania etc... + * that regressed from the new m_locationChanged and CDROM timings changes. + * It is mostly noticeable in Castevania however and the stuttering can be very jarring. + * + * According to PCSX redux authors, we shouldn't cause a location change if + * the sector difference is too small. + * I attempted to go with that approach but came empty handed. + * So for now, let's just set cdr.m_locationChanged to false when playing back any ADPCM samples. + * This does not regress Crash Team Racing's intro at least. + */ + cdr.m_locationChanged = FALSE; SPU_playADPCMchannel(&cdr.Xa); cdr.FirstSector = 0; }
