Re: chrono cross black screen !
Confirmed, Chrono Cross is broken on V2.6.7. I tried Midboot and all the EXTDSP settings. 

"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, five times more, perhaps not even that."

Arguably the best JRPG on the system.
Personally, I love it more than Chrono Trigger.
Xenogears doesn't work on the old firmware and Chrono Trigger doesn't work on the new firmware. It's, like, pick your poison.

Re: chrono cross black screen !
This one hurts a lot.
Didn't Xenogears at least run before, but crashed only under particular circumstances? That's better than outright not starting!

Re: chrono cross black screen !
Xenogears used to crash at the very last battle, although you could also run in other crashes, depending on your playstyle. I guess anything is better than a black screen on boot, but it's not like we had a perfectly working firmware before.fernan1234 wrote: ↑September 8th, 2019, 12:19 am This one hurts a lot.

Re: chrono cross black screen !
Yeah, 2.6.5 was far from perfect, but it's increasingly looking like it was better. This game compatibility forum is a lot more active with new topics than before. That tells you something.
Perhaps something was a bit too rushed with the last two versions. Whatever new stuff was implemented there needs to be looked at again. Perhaps go even as far back as to revise what 2.6.5 changed. Now that I think about it, no one ever reported problems with FF7 before 2.6.5, and it would be hard to believe no one played it before that.

Chrono Cross failed to boot in 2016 due to the Menu System not parsing its CNF correctly. Had this issue come back because of simple forgetfulness or is it something else this time?

Re: chrono cross black screen !
This is fixed in Menu System V2.6.8 which we will release soon. You need to use K1V3 via LoadExec for it to work though.

Re: chrono cross black screen !
Chrono Cross works with K1V4 now, so I guess it's the recommended method?

K1V3 or K1V4 will be fine.Takehaniyasubiko wrote: ↑September 12th, 2019, 7:50 am Chrono Cross works with K1V4 now, so I guess it's the recommended method?

Re: chrono cross black screen !
Chrono Cross was badly affected by V2.6.9. The game severely slows down on the 2D fields. None of the EXTDSP modes fixes it.

Re: chrono cross black screen !
I too have a black screen in 2.6.9.
Has this been fixed?
EDIT;
Okay, works with K1V3 and K1V4.

Yeah it's fixed in ARM V2.6.6 which will be part of Menu System V2.6.10.

Re: chrono cross black screen !
I wish we moved to 2.7 already. 2.6 seems cursed.

Re: chrono cross black screen !
Chrono Cross is not booting at all now with Midboot, or LoadExec K1V4. (ARM 2.6.6, FW 2.6.10)
Only works with LoadExec K1V3.

Re: chrono cross black screen !
Strange. Tried this with exactly same settings and it doesn't work. Works with K1V3 though.
