Description
Summary
Game crashes during third cinematic after clearing first world of the game.
Seems to be an issue in Mednafen too, however Ootake PCE emulator runs it correctly.
File info:
Magical_Fantasy_Adventure_-Popful_Mail(NTSC-J)_[HECD4011] - cue/iso // SHA1 4A019D48DBB0C6F81EBD5FF0EA130B1E98EE2DA6
SaveRAM file at applicable point in game - : Magical_Fantasy_Adventure_-Popful_Mail(NTSC-J)_[HECD4011].zip
Continue the game with the save file and press UP to talk to the character that ends the segment and starts the cutscene.
Update -
Loading SaveRAM into Ootake and playing through the cutscene allows you to continue gameplay, but all subsequent cinematics after the first two are completely broken.
Reproduction
- Play game and clear all of First World.
- Watch unskippable cutscene.
- Observe as horror unfolds and game hangs.
Host environment:
- BizHawk 2.8; Win10 Pro (latest) AMD Ryzen 5 2600x /AMD Radeon RX580 4GB
- BizHawk 2.8; Win10 Pro (latest) Intel Core i3 / Intel HD3000 graphics
