Pokemon Rom Hack crashing for unknown reason #2015

Closed StarmanLord closed 3 years ago

StarmanLord commented 3 years ago

I am currently playing Pokemon Fusion Origins, a FireRed rom hack, on mgba 0.8.4. Occasionally, and seemingly at random, the emulator crashes to the screen shown in the attached screenshot. Why is this happening? What can I do to prevent it? Let me know if you need any more information, thank you! Screenshot 2021-01-16 014516

Mm, ROM hacks are quite often buggy and will actually crash on hardware. They tend to be only tested on VBA, which has a lot of known issues. mGBA 0.9 (still in progress, though dev builds are available on the website) has a "compatibility" mode that is on by default for FireRed hacks that may help here.

Thank you, I'll give the 0.9 dev build a try!

Does it work in the dev build?

Hello :)

I have a similar error (I would say the same) when playing the hackrom of Pokemon Liquid Crystal,the game crashes from time to time when loading a savestate.

the strangest thing is that it only crashes on version 0.9.0.

I tried it in version 0.8.3 and it doesn't crash so it seems that the error is in version 0.9.0.

Here is a screenshot

@sodomon2 that bug was likely fixed a week or two ago in the dev builds and will be fine in 0.9.1 when I release it in a week or so
