hopefully this doesn't get anyone upset but i would like to request that the stencil test bug be addressed that is causing the trash graphics in final fantasy IV the complete collection. I'll attach a screenshot of jpcsp but from what i've read in the forum posts regarding ff4 the reason this is happening is due to some kind of bug or glitch dealing with the stencil test option in the configuration settings on jpcsp. again i hope i don't upset anyone with this but i feel its something that needs to be addressed or at least looked into and fixed. thanks.

Why don't you just turn this off then? How is this a fix asap issue?
excuse me this is an issue not for me but for a lot of us. i can't play the game anymore. none of the recommended configurations in the final fantasy IV the complete collection work for me they either give me nothing but a black screen or cause jpcsp not to work period. the settings i was using worked for me and now as you can see from the attached screenshot that is the result and it is because and has been found out there is a bug or glitch that needs to be fixed that deals with the stencil test option in configuration that seems to be the cause of what is occuring with the screenshot i provided1 is that something that should not be addressed or fixed or is it going to be treated like oops your shit out of luck people we aint fixing such a small issue.

it will be fixed sooner or later, I'm sure the devs are busy with life and other issues as-well , also I think right now the priority is getting the fullscreen working with correct aspect ratio and borders support.

Could you add a log file at INFO level?
Do you have an ATI/AMD graphic card? Can someone reproduce this issue with an NVIDIA? From the screenshot, it looks like a driver problem...
I also get it with a nvidia card, I did upgrade my drivers recently though to 275.50.
btw this bug only shows up when the stencil option is checked.,
Nvidia user here, and I want to report that the bug occurs on my end too. However, I think the problem seems to be incompatibility between the Saving GE to Textures option and the Stencil Test/Color Mask options. If Saving GE to Textures is not enabled, it works fine even with Stencil Test and/or Color Mask on. However, if Saving GE to Textures is enabled, then the bug occurs when either Stencil Test or Color Mask or both options are enabled. If both Stencil Test and Color Mask are disabled, then the bug does not occur when Saving GE to Textures is enabled.

I've attached DEBUG logs for the game with Saving GE to Textures on and off which hopefully will be useful. Sorry for the somewhat large size.
