Hi,
I have strange issue, I was playing Demon Souls, BLUS30443, everything was fine, running in 4K (well except stutter and lag), but after updating RPCS3 I got this error
F {PPU[0x1000005] Thread (HighGraphics) [0x01d4cc70]} MEM: Access violation reading location 0x0
Also sometimes it crashes the emulator afterwards



And the game no longer works even when i go back to old build that worked.
I Deleted  EVERYTHING from the CONFIG folder, I deleted everything tehre is to delete except the game folder and save folder (which i moved out to test if its save issue), nothing helped 

I have another copy of Demons Souls [BLES00932]  and it still works fine (took me couple of days to rip my PS3 collection, i mostly do testing)

Tested on all of these builds:
rpcs3-v0.0.3-2017-10-04-5a03db7d_win64
rpcs3-v0.0.3-2017-10-08-e8bde583_win64
rpcs3-v0.0.3-2017-10-09-6d6b2812_win64

rpcs3-v0.0.3-2017-10-11-f5d450f2_win64

5820K @ 4.5Ghz
1080Ti
32Gb RAM

P.S. The MOST INSANE thing happened when I made fresh emulator install, (unzipped RPCS3, installed the firmware) and tried to load the game, the game started up fine.



Any ideas? Thanks

Any ideas?

Empty dev_hdd1/cache folder and try again

This is Insane LOL. i just copied the game back to my main RPCS3 folder, did as you asked, I even deleted everything from the cache folder, same error.
This game works fine on same emulator version just in different folder, this made me to spread each game to different emulator installation Per Game series.
[2 versions of Demon souls has their own emulator folder, all Uncharted games has their own emulator, all killzone games has their own and so on I have tens of games (I know these dont work yet, but im constantly testing, I even ordered a new 8700K PC just to test PS3 games on fastest CPU available)]

I am having the same problem now as you, hope there is a fix for this in future and if not then I am gonna be mad that I cant play the ps3 emulator due to this.
