SMS Bug Reports

[EEUG]

...my TV card does not support non-interlaced NTSC (only interlaced one), so I just can't reproduce it. Anyway, next year I'll try completly rewrite all stuff related to GS in hope to avoid these "effects" ...

[Mr. Worm~~]

anyway, a warm reset after change system/mode, wont hurt to avoid those lines, also in the new coming version there is a small fix in mode 2

@Clumzy
I think the mode 1&2 that Mr. Worm~~ mentioned is in 1.4r8. You'll find it underneath the NTSC setting.

> 2. In non-interlaced NTSC, there is a line at the very bottom of the screen.

I can replicate this on my system. It looks like the bottom green line from the SMS menu is drawing at the bottom of the screen, on top the lower outline of the progress bar?

I can also confirm this on my NTSC setup.

Good point--that does fix it.

I found two problems with audio. I'm currently using Rev.8
First, in some movies when I have a "strong bass" it does not play well, looks like I'm in the middle of a war field just like the sound of bullets being fired. I really don't know how to describe the sound... hahaha...
The second, is from a movie that had the audio/video sync problem, it does not have the sync problem anymore but the sound plays with a "tec tec tec" very strange. I just don't know how to describe the sounds. But I'll get the movie properties(resolution, sound encoder, video encoder etc) and post them here later.

Nice for the last two days, I asume that you have problems with mp3 audio...
So to make it easier to find (if possible) please post bitrate and mode (CBR or VBR) in order to stablish a parameter, also an example would be nice...And the big problem is time...

The first movie audio properties (the war field) :
Audio Stream
Wave Type: 8192 - AC3 Audio
Avg. Bitrate: 448,00 kbit/s
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Bit Depth: 0 Bits
Channels: 5
Audio Delay: 0,00 s

The second movie audio properties (the tec tec tec) :
Audio Stream
Wave Type: 85 - MPEG Layer 3
Avg. Bitrate: 64,00 kbit/s
Sample Rate: 24000 Hz
Bit Depth: 0 Bits
Channels: 2
Audio Delay: 0,00 s

I'll try to get an example and post it here.
Thanks a lot, Mr. Worm

@firehawk,
for the first movie, that is not a Xvid + Qpel???
for the second, can you try convert sound to 128kbps / 48000Hz and check if problem persists
Do you have NTSC or PAL console ???

[firehawk]

@Mr. Worm~~
I checked the first movie and it is not Qpel. I used GSpot to verify.
It shows the video as BVOP NVOP. The audio shows:
Codec: 0x2000(AC3, Dolby Laboratories, Inc) AC3
Info: 48000Hz 448 kb/s total (5 chnls) CBR
I will try to get a sample.

About the second movie I'll try to convert the audio and post the results here.

My console is PAL but I use it on a NTSC TV.

Edit:
I converted the audio as you told me and it worked perfectly.

im not saying you dont have a problem, firehawk, but for the record, i use SMS often (once a week), and have never experienced a problem with sound. Maybe this is due to the fact that my movies are quality scene releases. I also have a low spec sound system (just stereo sound out of a hi-fi)
