cokeman118 Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 Hi, Just downloaded DSEmu and every time I try to load a file it will crash. Sometimes I can load but as soon as I select RUN from the menu it will crash. All files I'm trying to load are the demo/test files. Anyone know why it's doing this and how to solve the problem??
Robert Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 I just tried it and the tests worked fine. One of them (testadd) has a black screenafire.bin has flames burningfill1.bin has 4 coloured stripes. Just make sure you shut down the program beforestarting the next test or it will "generate errors".
cokeman118 Posted December 27, 2004 Author Posted December 27, 2004 I just tried it again, and it's still not working. I keep getting an error and a popup that says "dsemu.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." AppName: dsemu.exeAppVer: 0.0.1.2ModName: gba.dllModVer: 0.0.1.2Offset: 00328ec I then get a huge Error Report. Am I having compatability problems? I'm running WinXP/SP2, AMD 1.0 GHz, 256MB RAM
Gryph Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 What folder is it in? I remember seeing that if DSemu was imbedded in a lot of folders, it wouldn't work. But Two9A might have fixed that, I don't really know.
Two9A Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 I'll tell y'all the truth. I haven't the faintest clue why this happens on some boxen. Maybe if it happened here, I could whip out the brain and think about it; but I just can't understand the problems remotely.
Robert Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) I tested it on this pc which runs win2k pro with 512meg of ramand the path is c:\download\nds\ndsemu.exe There are some limits which you should try not to exceed.They are (a) more than 127 characters in the complete path( more than 8 folders deep I'm not saying that ndsemu will have a problem if you exceedthe limits, but some programs can't handle it well.

I can check out how Windows handles these filenames now; definitely sounds like issues with OpenFileName(). I had a feeling it wasn't my fault...
esoteric Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 and if you are trying to play the metroid demo (which counts as a retail game) that will also crash it so dont try that
Two9A Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) and if you are trying to play the metroid demo (which counts as a retail game) that will also crash it so dont try thatAhaha, I wouldn't bother with any games, mate. Not gonna work at this time. I had a feeling it wasn't my fault...Well, I was wrong. It was a buffer overflow, all my fault. Someone give the new archive a go, it should work now (extended the path name to 8192 characters, will that do?) Edited December 28, 2004 by Two9A

Not gonna work at this time. i know i was just pointing out to some people who may not have known that the metroid prime demo doesnt count as a demo
Robert Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 (edited) Where is the new archive...it's not on your site. edit - not on www.ndsemu.com it still has version 1a. I found version 1c on that oopsilon site, so I'm ok now. Edited December 30, 2004 by robbbert
