Arkanoid: Doh it Again (SNES)

[meleu]

This issue is unrelated with earning achievements itself, but with RetroArch (or Snes9x2010 ?).

The user GapporinRA reported on RA forum that RetroArch (up to date) crashes when loading "Arkanoid: Doh it Again" on Snes9x2010 with cheevos enabled. If the cheevos feature is disabled the ROM loads fine.

I reproduced it on my Android phone and can confirm (crashes with cheevos enabled, runs fine with cheevos disabled). When I get home I'll try on my Linux box and get more info to help the diagnosis.

@leiradel , reporting here is enough? If not, should we report it to RetroArch or Snes9x2010?

[leiradel]

It's ok to report here. I'll take a look.

Is it a real crash or RetroArch freezes? I'm asking because I've just fixed an issue where it was freezing under certain circumstances.

[meleu]

Real crash. I'm on the road now, but after a couple of hours I'll be able to give you some logs.

@leiradel I've just updated RetroArch, and the cores snes9x2010, snes9x2005 and bsnes.

All three cores crashes ("Segmentation fault" on Linux) right after getting the achievements for the game.

RetroArch [INFO] :: CHEEVOS testing SNES (8Mb padding).
RetroArch [INFO] :: CHEEVOS getting game id for hash 73afa2fc098f616c2047cd990283e6dc
RetroArch [INFO] :: CHEEVOS got game id 392.
RetroArch [INFO] :: CHEEVOS got achievements for game id 392.
Falha de segmentação

All three runs fine when cheevos is OFF.

Can you post a backtrack? Thanks!

[meleu]

Forgive my ignorance, I don't know what is a backtrack. :sweat:

[leiradel]

Argh, it was supposed to read "backtrace". Stupid corrector.

Compile RetroArch for debug:

make clean && make -j 8 DEBUG=1

Run it with gdb:

gdb retroarch
(gdb) run

When it crashes, print a backtrace:

(gdb) bt

I'll try to reproduce on Windows too.

[leiradel]

It seems the JSON object with the achievements for this game is empty:

$ curl -o adia.json "http://retroachievements.org/dorequest.php?r=patch&u=leiradel&g=392&f=3&l=1&t=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
$ ls -l adia.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 andre andre       0 Nov 23 19:39 adia.json

I'll fix RetroArch to log an error instead of crashing. @meleu could you report this problem to Retro Achievements?

[leiradel]

Fixed here: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/4059

[meleu]

I don't know where to report it on RetroAchievements.org

The Bug Reports in SNES section seems to be used for reporting bugs on RASnes (according to the description). But I reported it there.

@leiradel , can you see if it needs more details?

[leiradel]

I've added more details so that people can repro the problem. I think we did all we could, so I believe this issue can be closed.

[meleu]

I've tried to make this issue reach Scott here: http://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=3803&o=15

Closing the issue here.

[leiradel]

Nice, maybe he clears up those doubts as well.
