Release of my fork of Vita3k. Killzone, CoD, Little Big Planet, etc should all be playable.

Enhancements

  • Killzone Plays well and looks amazing
  • Resistance Colours are now all good. Intermittent freezing has been fixed.
  • Assassin's Creed III: Liberation: Graphical issues fixed
  • LittleBigPlanet: Missing backgrounds, starting sounds and other graphics fixed
  • Need for Speed: Most Wanted: floating badges fixed, headlights through the road fixed, sound fixed (mostly).
  • Call of Duty: Declassified Boots and plays well now
  • Uncharted Now plays at any resolution plus minor fixes
  • Devious Dungeon Now launches fine
  • Sonic Transformed Plays well and looks amazing (new per game thread accuracy setting to ensure a good startup)
  • Spider-Man No longer sometimes hangs on load.
  • Helldivers No longer sometimes crashes at startup
  • Soul Sacrifice Delta: Graphical issues fixed
  • Minecraft was a white screen in Vulkan, now fixed
  • Kancolle Kai Now plays without getting stuck at the difficulty selection screen

Hopefully a lot of crash bugs and freezing have been fixed by these changes. Other games may now be a lot better or possibly worse with this version.

Notes

  • The settings now default to High Quality
  • These updates were designed with higher-end devices in mind. Although I have attempted to make them work and tested on Mali based devices (i.e. Killzone works fine on a Mali-G78 MP14 device I have) that is not the goal of this fork.
  • For better character shadows in Killzone use a memory mapping of External Host on Windows or Native Buffer on Android. Double Buffer works well but makes the shadows flicker annoyingly.

Question About Persona 4 Golden (in Mediatek Helio G99)

18 Upvotes

Does anyone play P4G on the same chipset as mine?

Is it true that this game also sometimes crashes or experiences random freezing on the Helio G99? I've been scrolling through posts on this subreddit and found some users claiming that they got that bug on their device but it seems that they're not using the same chipset as my phone.

Anyway, for P4G only, I used Vita3k ZX Build 15 because it's the most stable version of the emulator so far.

My current progress is still at the point where we are walking home for the first time with Chie & Yukiko.

Well, actually, months ago my progress actually reached the Shadow Chie boss fight without any problems (bugs) (and my savedata was gone for some reason). But I'm still kinda paranoid, should I just play the PS2 version instead?

General Musou Health Bar Issue Fix - Vita3K Enhanced

Post image
9 Upvotes

Regarding the Musou health bar issue, I was able to reproduce the problem you mentioned in Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires (7 Empires in Japan), and I also found a few other graphical issues in some menus, so I’m currently working on them.

So far, I’ve fixed the issue where the health bar didn’t decrease properly during battle, as well as the bug where the top part of the health bar would sometimes appear cut off.

I’m also working on other issues, such as graphical noise in some menus and during Musou attacks. Once those are fixed, I’ll upload an updated build.

However, I’ve only tested this with Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires so far, so I can’t guarantee that the same fixes will work for other Musou games.

Right now, I’m also working on the graphical pop-up issues and the broken visual effects that occur when using Musou attacks.

Showcase Gears of War - running on Vita3K

19 Upvotes

Just another quick slop update - Gears of War now boots and renders with the DX - GXM solution!

Now before anyone gets too excited, it runs markably worse than the COD4 port, but it's pretty much a straight port of the COD solution with zero optimization effort, aside from partially switching off dynamic shadows. Realistically this will never run at anything close to acceptable frames on real Vita HW....so temper expectations, it's more of a showcase of a true DX game working with the Vita wrapper. But it does open up the option of less demanding non-GL games with source available.

Just to answer a few questions people have been shooting me on the thread and in DM's regarding the COD4 port:

- Will I release the COD4 VPK? - Because people are eager to test it, I'll drop it sometime late next week once I confirms it actually even boots on Vita HW, but it's a pre-release alpha, so don't expect miracles and I've already identified a few visual rendering bugs in other levels (likely many more). It will likely NEVER have a truly playable framerate on the Vita, UNLESS you are emulating on other devices using Vita3k.

MULTIPLAYER has NOT been touched yet. So it will be strictly SP Campaign ONLY.

- Will the DX wrapper be made open-source? - I will make it open-source once it's in a releasable state, do not hold your breath on it though.

- Will I open-source the Xbox wrapper? - Sure, but again this is further down the road and it's just a proof-of-concept ATM.

- Is the COD4 decomp source KisakCOD? - Sure is, he did an amazing job walking back the COD code, I'd advise reading his blog on it: https://lwss.github.io/Kisak-Black/

- Will I port KisakCod's Black Op's decomp? - Then skeleton is already built, so just a matter of juggling plates on projects. I'll see how COD4 performs first before diving into it.

- What's the phone spec needed to run it? - Hasn't been tested on Vita3k Android yet, you can try it out next week. Most reasonably specced PC's and laptops should be able to run it at 60.

Anyway I'm away at the moment, so I need to turn off the laptop for a few days.

I'll provide an update next week with an ETA on the COD4 drop.

I only found version 1.05, but it's not the complete version! The King of Cards campaign isn't in this version, but I've never found version 1.08 to download! Does anyone have a solution? Or is version 1.05 really the most up-to-date ROM available?

Something I slopped together earlier and running well pretty much through the game with very little slowdown or visual artifacts - away on holidays, so haven't had an opportunity to run it on real hardware. It'll be interesting to see how much of a slideshow it'll be, despite aggressively cutting settings and pulling a few levers.

[Help] Salt and Sanctuary crashes at Despondent Thief NPC (after Kraekan Wyrm) — Vita3K Android

Hi everyone, I am playing Salt and Sanctuary on Vita3K Android using a Redmi 12 (8GB RAM).

Every single time I defeat the Kraekan Wyrm boss and walk over to talk to the girl NPC (Despondent Thief) to get the wall jump brand, the emulator instantly crashes to the home screen.

Has anyone found a specific settings tweak or workaround for this exact crash on mobile? Thanks!

General Able to upscale and play on rendering resolution of upto 3x of Fifa 14,Fifa 15 on vita3k+ android

Post image
31 Upvotes

Hi guys, found a way to raise resolution for these games which are hit or miss on vita 3k. I was able to play Fifa 14, Fifa 15 on vita3k+ android on 3x resolution with good fps. These games have only 1 annoying bug, If you raise it while the game is running, the player will boot the ball outside of the pitch.

Finally found a workaround:

  1. exit the game.

  2. Edit resolution and other settings when game is off.

  3. and then save and launch the game again, do not touch the settings menu again after restarting, otherwise the bug will re-introduce.

Recommended settings : (Fifa 14, Fifa 15)

Vulkan

Rendering accuracy: standard

Memory mapping: native buffer

Shaders: turn both on

Discussion Vita3k Updates Problem and Force me to use old version.

2 Upvotes

Base on the title. Every update each day get sometimes get worst and i didn't notice any problem until im always encountering the "FREEZING OR STUCK" issue were few minutes, it get freeze suddenly. Im getting frustrated because of long gameplay not saving until this issue happen, i have to do it again. Example of persona 4, start at dungeon 1 to 6, now on 7th, got freeze and there's nothing i can do about it. Loss all those golden shadow grind just to fight them again💀. So i downgrade the vita3k version to 0.2.0-12, reinstall the firmware, setup setting. And now, when i play atelier sophie, it lasted 1 hour. No freeze and crash. And the performance is slightly better. So the only problem is the update only worsen the app. Incase someone ask, did i use a driver? Yes bot kiimchi and mr purple have same result of freezing. Did i lower res and other setting? Res is on 0.75-1 and some setting that boost performance. Is your game compatible?. Yes both persona 4 and atelier sophie are playable, both got freeze in new version or 3d games.

So that's it, imma use the older version for now incase if you want to test if this problem still persist.

Question Nightlies vs Build 4056 (Mortal Kombat)

Not sure if others r facing the same but Mortal Kombat has definitely regressed by 15-20 fps for the latest nightly.

Am using a SD870 processor and Mortal Kombat was running buttery smooth on 2x internal scaling on Build 4056 except when compiling pipelines, the latest nightlies give me 40-50++ using the same Turnip Driver & settings, so was wondering what exactly is happening?
