It makes a whole bunch of stuff then stops. Blank screen. I have an Iso for testing if needed. Most emulators seam to have trouble emulating this game...

Bug Reports

Cxbx-Reloaded is in the early stages right now and most games will either crash or do nothing, please do not submit issues for these games.

I want to know what games actually do something, so if a game displays graphics before crashing, please submit a bug reports containing the error message displayed (if any), screenshots and an Xbe dump (This can be created via [Edit -> Dump Xbe Info To -> File]).

I never said it didn't do anything? I get a black screen after a file dump Its "working", when it isn't. Also thanks for noticing this issue. I really would like some one to work on this game, or use if for testing most emulator (again) have trouble with this game, because of it using a newer format of directx I guess? Any way I could send you the dump file (its literally thousands of lines long.) and even the ROM. Please ask if you would like to take a look. So far I really like the emulator keep it up!

Addendum

I just realized that, when testing, I had the "Disable Pixel Shaders" hack enabled. Disabling this hack causes 2D textures to flat-out not render at all (at least as of the build listed below). Keep this in mind when updating the status.

Original Post

Just tested this title on the newest build of CXBX-R (as of build 2b8ba74, July 13, 2018), here's where Monkey Ball Deluxe is at:

-Functionally, the game seems to take longer than usual on loading screens, but otherwise is fully playable

-Audio appears to be working with no noticable issues

-Graphical glitches are pretty noticable (though it's mostly just mis-coloration and opacity issues; particularly textures get "dyed" to appear either orange or yellow)

The audio works, but the game only displays a black screen. If you know the menus you can navigate your way to a new game which will actually “play” properly. The game itself is “playable” as in, you can control your character blindly but you just see a black screen. It does not crash, but none of the actual 3D elements load at all.

1.01: Xbe.txt

If anyone wants me to log anything specific, please let me know.

With build 0f853f3 the game's essentially fully playable with just a few glitches left.

The cutscenes don't work, they show a blackscreen but the audio's still playing.
The game freezes for 5 seconds every once in a while both in-game and when navigating the menus.

i've been playing this game a lot in build bf6d8b8 lately and it's entirely playable but i have noticed some fairly noticeable visual bugs

• most cutscenes have no video
• the game will hang for a few seconds at seemingly random intervals
• fog effects within the skybox only render partially, flicker or don't render whatsoever (ex. clocktower, underwater)
• some particle effects (like the ones that show up when your ball hits the floor or a wall with force) are white squares
• environmental reflections look strange and distorted (ex. the water in the inside a whale world, battery trays from dr. bad boon's base and every reflective floor in the game)
• game becomes pixelated when opening the pause menu while in a level and using higher resolution modes
• floor reflections don't render correctly
• the see-through effect on teleporters does not render correctly
