Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords RotPL [NPUB30041]

"Hook static functions" should work now.

About SPU recompiler, it failed once, I can't reproduce the bug. Can you tell me, how much and in what places it threw an error? And send me SPU_Jit** logs, if you have them.

It does indeed work, and the music is literally perfect.

The SPU recompiler used to crash at random, but I think you fixed that as well, because the at least the interpreter doesn't give any errors (which it would do all the time), and the recompiler hasn't crashed yet either.

So yeah, this game is basically completely playable now except for saving/loading.

Hook static functions does trigger a bug though, the cutscene at 1 minute doesn't play, the game just skips it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee26-LS5Hfs

If I turn hook static functions off it does work.

ok, after some testing i found out why the game couldnt run ingame. it attempts to load the save files, but the emu cant do it so it hangs, but if you delete the save files in the devhdd folder, the game will progress into the character creation screen and then ingame.

Does this not work for anyone else now?

Relevant log (after intro and sometimes at loading screen I believe):

Code:

...

The last, of course, being repeated ad infinitum, and before that a segfault.

EDIT: That's weird. Doesn't segfault with interpreter, but when you press start to start the game, it appears to stop all of the threads and what I can only imagine is loading another binary, and then just quits.
