Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch [BLUS30947]

RPCS3 Version:  RPCS3 v0.0.5-6560-9d961f620 Alpha

Game:  Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch US [BLUS30947]

Behavior:  When LLVM Recompiler used for CPU Core, game crashes after LLVM compilation with the following error:

Code:

F 0:00:13.695010 {PPU[0x1000000] Thread (main_thread) [0x00da9984]} class std::runtime_error thrown: Null function
(in file ..\Utilities\JIT.cpp:139)

Full RPCS3.log.gz attached.

If I can provide any additional information, please let me know.

EDIT:  This was caused by a configuration error.  This version (and perhaps others, I'm not sure) will crash during boot if the "Hook Static Functions" configuration checkbox is enabled.  Clearing this checkbox allows the game to boot in LLVM Recompiler mode with no issues.

You must use Interpreter, this is likely Ingame.
Moving to General Discussion until proper testing with Interpreter is done.

Oh, no problem.  I saw a lot of people able to use the recompiler to play the game with different game IDs and since this ID wasn't in the compatibility list I thought it might go in that forum.  Thanks for moving it to the right place!

It does get In-game with Interpreter with this game ID, I can confirm.  About 15fps or so.  I added screenshots and the log for the session. Happy to add anything else if I missed it.

^^ It's supposed to work just fine with PPU LLVM
something is wrong on your end.

Yeah, I figured such, so I joined the #help channel on Discord and they poked around for a minute then said that since it was a new game ID that wasn't in the compatibility database and it was dying before booting with the LLVM Recompiler enabled, that I should drop a post into the forums.

I've re-installed RPCS3 from the latest master into a new directory to make sure there was nothing with my existing install that caused the failure and had identical results, so I'm somewhat at a loss as to how to continue troubleshooting if the issue is specific to my instance of RPCS3.

So, I guess my question now is whether everyone who has the LLVM Recompiler working are using a different Game ID version of the game and whether anyone has been successful in getting the Recompiler core to work on this specific ID. I ripped this with my BD-ROM from my copy of the game, so if needed I can re-rip, but since the IRD validated successfully I don't believe it's a problem with the rip -- but I'm happy to troubleshoot in any way I can.

Looking online, it seems like I accidentally gave the wrong copy of the game to a friend of mine -- I bought the Wizard's Edition but digitalriver decided to completely drop the ball on shipping it for a week after the game came out, so I ended up buying a Steelcase version of the standard edition just so I could play it. Looks like when I gave the spare copy to my friend, I gave him the Wizard's Edition disc as the internet is telling me that would be BLUS-31039. As such, I've edited the first post to remove the reference to the Wizard's Edition.

Turns out this was, in fact, a configuration error.

Interpreter & Recompiler work fine on BLUS30947 . The issue I was having occurs when the "Hook static functions" checkbox is enabled in the game configuration. Removing this checkbox causes the game to boot successfully with the LLVM Recompiler.

^ Good to hear.
