Home Page Forums MAME MAME SVN builds - new driver flood

then roman has done a bad work when he programmed clrmame

the result of mess -lx is a perfectly fine xml file, so the problem is in clrmame...

EDIT: @judge, running mess -listsoftware gamepock crashes here...

mess -listsoftware

is enough to crash it after 3 lines of output.

N64 is much improved.


edit: -listsoftware bbcbc crashes as well.

It happens in software_list_find, appears that swlist is not defined at that point. Called by software_list_first. Hopefully this will help Judge.

You don't like the warning message? Take the skip_warnings line out of your mess.ini files.

yeah, everybody has the same crash with -listsoftware

moreover, you should remove the skip_warning line from mess.ini

the rest of the n64 warnings is harmless

Anytime you get an "unknown option" message, just do "mess -cc" to regenerate your ini without the offending options (it keeps your other settings).

fwiw, on mac -listsoftware works perfectly.

it also works in a SYMBOLS=1 build, so I cannot get a proper backtrace. it can be a problem with compiler optimization (maybe a buffer overflow somewhere?!?)

Crashes for me in a debug build, a backtrace was obtained.

Edit: Ah I understand, I have to remove this line.
Thanks !

I put in some additional checks. Could someone check if that fixes the crashes?
