Winuae 1.5.1 - Crash Detected

illy5603 · 14 August 2008, 05:59

Hi All,

So when I install and run the new 1.5.1 all I get is a crash with a minidump file. I can go back to 1.5.0 and all is well (well, as well as it was for me which means I still had problems loading and saving configs.)

Is this a good place to post or is there a more correct way to get the crash info to Toni?

attach any files produced by winuae and you're in the clear.
(winuaebootlog.txt, winuaelog.txt, #?.dmp)
Also perhaps tell us more about your system. (kind of graphics card, type of processor, OS version, ...)

Just attach the dump. 1.5.0+ crash dumps include winuaebootlog.txt automatically.

Here ya go. It is an iMac running Windows XP in bootcamp. This is not a virtual PC but a mac that is running Windows XP. The only thing "Custom" I did was to load the ATi Mobility Radeon control panel so I could force the correct aspect ratio for 800X600 as opposed to streeeeetttccchiiing it across a 16X9 widescreen monitor.

Running GBA with default config as well as my emulated A1200 with ClassicWB advanced are all working under 1.5.0 and I even managed to fix my loading and saving of configurations by unchecking the cached config option.

This dump file does not make sense..

Did you try updating directx? It seems your DX installation is really old.

Dear Toni,

I have the same problem.

First I updated DirectX. I tried WinUAE 1.5.1 with AmiKit and Amiga Forever 2008 on my 24" iMac Mid2007 version.

Every time it crashes.
The last beta I tried worked.

What could be the reason. iMac doesn't have a real BIOS but an EFI. Could this cause any trouble with the new version?

Kind regards
Dic Ray

Update DirectX, make sure Windows is fully updated, then install debugging tools for windows (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtoo...nstallx86.mspx , it has improved crash dump library that hopefully creates better dumps..) and attach crash dump again.

Bios type shouldn't matter, WinUAE only uses Windows API.

Another test: run winuae with -log parameter ("winuae.exe -log") and copy&paste last ~10 lines in log window when it crashes.

Toni,

every time I lock the workstation while WinUAE is working WinUAE will crash.

I don't remember this being the case before. (will test later older versions)

Toni, Version 1.5.1 Final is totally unusable for me. The last version that worked fine was 1.5.1 RC1.
WinUAE crashes without fail when launching the emulation and/or selecting Input within the GUI.
Windows complains that DEP has closed the application, so perhaps something in the recent version is doing something a bit naughty.

Latest DX9 August Redist and all Windows updates are installed.

Specs:

Vista Ultimate OEM
4 GB RAM
Dell XPS M1530 Laptop
GeForce 8600M GT
177.89 Forceware

Also, quick question: is there any way to enable 4-joypad support so that games like Sneech and Masterblaster can utilize 2 extra pads without the need to use Joy2Key.

Cheers,

P.

This is different than above crash. I guess it does not crash if you remove all USB devices?

Use Input-panel to map your pads to any key/whatever you want

Hi Toni,

I have updated directX and it is still crashing. Also, like devilhood, I have had it crash when making any sort of input to the program like trying to modify configurations etc.

Toni Wilen · 16 August 2008, 21:07

Does http://www.winuae.net/files/b/winuae.zip fix the crash?
