Hi,

If I start the applications it will close after a short while (1 sec).


I got the folowing Output:

Generator is (c) James Ponder 1997-2003, all rights reserved. v0.35

No configuration file found, using defaults.

Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

sry for my bad englisch

Try

$ gdb generator-gtk

If it crashes enter "bt full" at the prompt. That should show where it crashes.

Hi i tryed to compile it again and this time it works...

but if I try to start a game and push play I will get the following output:

[---- ] Loaded 'Sonic The Hedgehog 3'/'Sonic The Hedgehog 3' (Mk-1079-0 A8F2 U)
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x0000000000cc0350 ***
Aborted

Game doesn't run by itself thats why I try to push play.

The same happens if I try to change the video-size to 200%.

Ok, if you can compile it yourself, it shouldn't be difficult to find the source of the bug. What flags did you pass to configure? You use a x86-64 machine, right?

CFLAGS='-O0 -g3' ./configure --without-gcc --with-gtk --with-raze

When it's compiled, start it as this:

gdb main/generator-gtk

Then reproduce crash and type "bt full" at gdb's prompt. I've looked at the sources
and see no blatant double-free bug. I suspect this might rather be a bug in one
of the used libraries.

You are right. I use a 64 bit system. I compiled the application as you described.

CFLAGS='-O0 -g3' ./configure --without-gcc --with-gtk --with-raze --prefix=/home/style

Do you mean with "main" the path of the application?

BTW: Programm doesn't Start if I execute gdb generator-gtk as this reason I'm not able to reproduce the crash.

Type "run" at the gdb prompt to start the program.

Sorry, for x86-64 you also have to use --with-cmz80 instead of --with-raze. Maybe that fixes the crashes already.

Thx I will try it.

I got the same Output:

Are you sure you have compiled it using --cmz80 and loaded the correct binary i.e. not the one you have installed before? z80_emulate() is not called or used unless you decided to use raze.

Before running configure [...] and make, run "make depend" to clear the results from the previous configure run.

When you invoke gdb pass the full path to generator-gtk not just "generator-gtk" because in the latter case it would load the generator-gtk found according to your PATH variable. Assuming your current directory is the sources directory of generator, start it with

gdb main/generator-gtk

I tryed it again (Install and gdb). I got the same result


Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Whether I load a rom or not, there are no differents.

That looks as if nothing was compiled actually. So you re-installed the result of a previous compile process. Also sorry again. I meant "make distclean" not "make depend".

Thx very much :-))))

It works now.

... but sound is to slow maybee I have to change options

Ok everythink is perfect now, after I changed Settings. Sry for Spam.

What sound settings do you use now?

Hmm its still slow ... depends from the game I only changed Frame skipping from auto to "1"

for instance some Sonic Games are to slow

It shouldn't be slow on your system at all. The compile options were for debugging only.
You should recompile with CFLAGS=-O3 for best performance:

make distclean
CFLAGS=-O3 ./configure --without-gcc --with-gtk --with-cmz80
make && make install

If you still have sound problems you could try using OSS audio instead by
passing --without-sdl-audio configure.

You could try change the sound buffer settings, either in ~/.genrc or in
the GUI under Emulation->Options->Sound:

# default: 5
sound_minfields = 1
# default: 10
sound_maxfields = 2
