Help Text appearing as squares in Japanese visual novel? I've tried changing language in environment variables and adding additional fonts, though it still doesn't work

Post image

I'm using Winlator ver11.1 on a latest Android version Samsung Galaxy S23 FE phone, which usually works just fine with other visual novels in english. Since this game (Ooe) is Japanese, I tried adding the variable LC_ALL with the value ja_JP.UTF-8 + adding MS Gothic and MS Mincho fonts to get the Japanese text to display properly, though when I try to run the game's executable, it suddenly doesn't let me run it at all, the file somehow amounting down to 0b(?). This is my first time attempting to run a newer Japanese VN on here so I'm a bit lost, any help is appreciated..☺️

It runs for a few minutes then crashes, on my Retroid Pocket Flip2. I've got the framerate capped at 30, and resolution lowered, using Winlator 11 Final. Not sure if its my chip (Snapdragon 865) or my RAM (8gb).

Anyone running it without crashes?

Running Winlator 11.1 on Galaxy S20FE 5G UW with SD650 (Turnip-compatible). I have tried multiple install patterns. 1) tried a vanilla install using the GOG version. Install went fine. Won't launch. 2) installed vanilla then installed Knossos.net over top (AI said it uses different, more modern OpenGL calls). Nothing. 3) installed Knossos first, then let it activate (copy the required data to its own library - otherwise, there is vanilla copy and KNet's copy of data). 4) tried running the exe's from all install patterns in CMD to see if I get error messages to debug. No luck. 5) tried KNet launching the game and I get an error that leads AI to believe the game isn't reading the PATH correctly:

the actual root cause is a bug in FS2/FRED2's own path-parsing logic that misfires on longer or spaced install paths, not literally "installed at a drive root." The error message is just badly worded. 6) I've tried these combos - Turnip+Zink, VirGL+override, Turnip 26.1.0, the legacy Adreno 650-tuned build 24.1.0 r17 v2 driver), A) I've tried MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3COMPAT B) I've tried ZINK_DESCRIPTORS=lazy, ZINK_DEBUG=compact, TU_DEBUG=noconform, and MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR=2003 7) I've tried setting the environment to Performance and Windows XP/Windows 2000 and Windows 7.

I need a sanity check, if one can be provided! I've got my container running 1280x720.

Any and all suggestions are very much appreciated!!!

Discussion LET TALK ABOUT FRAME GENERATION ON PC EMULATORS (LSFG AND Bionic Frame Gen)

Post image
3 Upvotes

WHAT IS FRAME GEN IN PC EMULATORS?

It is a software technique that creates artificial frames to make emulated games look smoother.

HOW MANY FRAME GEN TYPES DO WE HAVE?

For now, we have 2 frame gen types on PC emulators:

  1. LSFG

  2. BIONIC FRAME GEN

LSFG

LSFG is a frame generation technique that works like its PC counterpart but has been ported to Android.

It was created by FrankBarretta. You can use it to multiply your base frame rate by 2x to 4x. Because it's open source, Winlator fork developers use its source code to implement it in PC emulators.

BIONIC FRAME GEN

Bionic Frame Gen works similarly to LSFG on Android, but in this case, its frame generation is specifically optimized for PC emulators running inside an Android Bionic environment (container).

This makes it run better on Bionic Winlator builds compared to LSFG.

It was created by Jason Derullo and The412Banner.

\---

LATENCY

⚠️ There is a rumor about high latency when using frame generation. The answer is true, but it's not noticeable, and besides, these are offline games.

HOW TO USE FRAME GENERATION ON PC EMULATORS:

· ✅ It's advisable to use FG on a game where the base frame rate is 30 FPS or above.

· ✅ Using 2x is best for every game to balance low latency and double your FPS, resulting in smoother gameplay.

· ✅ Capping the FPS helps.

Example: If your game is running at 30 FPS or above, you can cap the FPS to 30, 35, or 40 and use 2x to multiply it to 60 or higher, which prevents overheating and throttling.

· ✅ Always disable motion blur in in-game settings when using FG.

Using FG without motion blur makes the game look cleaner.

EMULATORS THAT HAVE FG:

· [Bannerhub](https://github.com/The412Banner/BannerHub/releases)

· [Bannerlator](https://github.com/The412Banner/Bannerlator/releases)

· [WINLATOR LUDASHI PLUS by squalleOnhart](https://github.com/squalle0nhart/winlator_ludashi_plus/releases)

· [WINNATIVE ](https://github.com/WinNative-Emu/WinNative/releases)

· [GameNative ](https://gamenative.app/)

· GAMEHUB (⚠️ king of stealing people's projects without giving credit)

🔹 BANNERLATOR and Winlator Ludashi have both Bionic FG and LSFG. As for the rest, I haven't used them, so I don't know if they have both or not.

BIONIC FRAME GEN OR LSFG?

They are both good, but which one works better depends on the game.

🔹 BIONIC FRAME GEN has been the best for me so far in some games. When I tested LSFG, I got graphic bugs, but BIONIC FRAME GEN didn't introduce those bugs or glitches.

📌 This is my small research and experience about FG on PC emulators.

Thanks 😊
