Exception Always Occurs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Trying to open a Zipped rom
2. Exiting the Settings screen
3. Pretty much anything that involved exiting screens

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
For it to work normally. It always gives you an exception screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The latest one, for the Gamecube.

Please provide any additional information below.
The SNES Emulator works fine, and on the same type of media. When you try
to open a Zipped rom, it immediately goes to an exception screen. When you
go to the settings and set anything, and press B, it goes to an exception
screen.

I cannot reproduce the issue.

some questions:

1/What is your method of loading gnuboy_cube.dol (modchip/sdload/dvd) ?
2/Have you try with unzipped roms ?
3/What do you mean by "the settings" ? A specific option menu ? Or does it 
crashes
when you leave the main menu ?

Also, be sure to only load Game Boy (Mono or Color) ROM files, all other ROM 
types 
will certainly crash the emulator

1. I used a qoob Pro, which loaded the DOL off the miniDVD.
2. Not yet, but read 3 first.
3. Like, if you try to leave the main title screen, if you open a ROM, it will 
give
the exception, and if you go to the Options/Settings, then press B to go back 
to the
main title screen, it will give the exception error, the same on as opening a 
ROM.

what is the name of the ROM you are trying to load ?

It is still not clear: when does the crash exactly occur ? when you try to load 
the
ROM from DVD or after it has been loaded, once you exit the Main Menu ?

Note that it is impossible to leave the Main Menu without having loaded a ROM
first... if the program crash everytime you try to load a ROM, I don't see how 
you
can exit the Main Menu

The crash when exiting the Options Menu might be related to the fact you don't 
have a
SDCARD to save the configuration file automatically, I should look more into 
that

Like, it doesn't really matter. The crash is exactly the same for when you TRY 
to
open a ROM, and when you try to leave the Options Menu.

1/ might be an unsupported zip format (the program only support Deflate method, 
try
with unzipped and check the default compression option when you zip your ROM 
again).
You could eventually try to open your ROM in another emulator (without 
launching the
game obviosuly), just to see if its related to the zip file format.

2/ the maximal ROM size is 8 MBytes, also be sure that there is only one ROM 
file
inside the .zip and that it is a valid .gb or .gbc ROM file

I did not succeed in reproducing the issue, ROM loading from DVD works fine here

No, I don't believe that the ROMs itself are the issue. Simply put, when you 
don't
even open a ROM, just go to the settings screen and then leave it, it will give 
the
same problem, so I think it's just the DOL itself.

Don't make assumptions so fast, an exception on Gamecube have always the same 
effect
(exception screen) this does not mean the exception came from the same cause.

As i stated, the crash when exiting the Option  submenu is a different issue, 
maybe
related to the fact you don't have a sdcard and it crashes when saving the 
settings.

The crash when loading a rom from DVD, even if produces something similar, is a
different one, and this is not a problem with the dol since it works perfectly 
for me
and other gamecube users, either it's a problem specific to Qoob users, either 
it's a
problem with your zipped rom

at this state, I can not repoduce the issue myself so, if you do not try what I 
told
you, I can not help

again, what kind of ROM (extension ? filename ?) are you trying to load ?

I tried to open Kirby's Dream Land #1.zip, and it doesn't work, so I tried 
Kirby's
Dream Land #2.zip, and it also doesn't work. They were all ZIP files.

Could it maybe be a problem with the # in the file name?

current SVN add FAT proper detection before attempting to read/write/create on
non-existent SDCARD
