Topic: Known Zelda Bugs With Ultrahle (Read 277 times)

UltraHLE mentions the following know bugs in Zeda, along with the solutions on the PC version. I am only about 4-5 hours into the game now, and loving it. However, I don't look forward to running into any of these. The first two are manageable (the second one manifesting itself quite often), but three and four look like they will be major pains if I get to the end of the game and can't beat it. I don't believe the patches would work on UltraXLE, either.

Thought I would post them in case anyone wants to know about them. Also, has anyone had enough free time yet to actually BEAT zelda on the XBOX?

Let us know if these probs exist, please.

Q. What is wrong with the "Lens of Truth"? It doesn't work.
A. This is another bug people ask about. Things that are supposed to appear do but things that are supposed to disappear don't. Walls, for example, do not disappear when they should. To find what you need, use the walkthru for Zelda. This bug can be a big problem when there are holes in the floor and you cannot see them. Therefore, save often and if you fall through, just restart from your savestate. Also got this great tip. Use wireframe mode to show the invisible objects. To enable wireframe mode, press Ctrl-W.

Q. Why is it when I enter buildings, the screen goes black and I cannot resume gameplay?
A. I have heard of this many times but have not experienced it myself so cannot offer a solution. It could be caused by a corrupt rom? Check with rtool. Solution will be posted if found.

Q. I cannot finish the game because I am blocked by bars. What can I do?
A. Luckily this can be fixed too. After beating Ganon, Zelda walks through a door that has bars. However, you are blocked by these bars and time is running out. To get past this bug, open the ultra.ini file and enable the "Infinite Time 'End Game Time Sequence'" patch. Then jump off the cliff and go back and the bars should be gone. If you do not know how to enable cheats, then check out the
How To's section.

Q. I finished the game but when watching the ending, the game freezes. In the debug output window of UltraHLE it says "error(800CF95C): dlist: display list too large (20002 commands)". How can I watch the entire ending?
A. This bug prevents you from seeing the entire ending of Zelda. Someone had hacked UltraHLE and made a patched UltraHLE awhile ago but I only learned of it recently after recieving an email. To use it, simply unzip and put in your UltraHLE directory. Then open it and load the zelda rom and your savestate. Now you can watch the entire ending.

i haven't seen any of those bug's on the Xbox version. the only one i have is that it keeps freezing while playing

Well, I don't have the lens yet, so I don't know. The third and fourth one mentioned are at the END of the game, so if you haven't gotten there yet, you wouldn't know.

I guess I will find out when I get there!

Hey Guys,

I've fixed all the above bugs except for one, the lens of truth bug. If someone has the time, could they please send me a save state just before the lens of truth (via icq: 6446836 or post it on their personal site)? It would be greatly appreciated as I simply don't have time to play the game through myself.

Its most likely a simple blending issue and will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks

Are these bugs fixed in an upcoming version or already working, I've read a lot of posts saying Zelda crashes on entering or leaving buildings. So I thought I'd leave it for now, played Zelda on ultrahle when it was first released and it crashed horribly on me 3/4 of the way through. Couldn't get past the ice kingdom, led me to buy an N64 and Zelda but I've never finished it and don't want to invest the time again if I'm going to get stuck.

If I was happy with the stability I'd definitly give it another go.

ODD you're port reminded me of seeing zelda for the first time on my voodoo2 at 1024*768 I was stunned.

Apparently, the puzzle in the forrest is not really a bug, just annoying to beat.

Let us know if you have any tips.

Does anyone know if the Master quest will work on it?

johnney5 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 24, 2003, 12:16:00 PM »

Thanks for the emulator! Heh, so, does this new version you are compiling, will it fix the crashing problem? Or is that unavoidable? (Im talkign about the way that the rom freezes up randomly) ty

Here's another bug you should look into, the forest temple picture puzzle.
I have put the picture together tons of times, yet the puzzle doesn't seem to complete to where the poe comes out.
I don't know why this happens, gfx error or rom emulation error maybe?
anyway I posted this problem here before, http://forums.xbox-s...ST&f=17&t=68547.
