crashes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Opening imame4all version 1.9 or 1.10 on iphone 3GS 3.1.3 firmware

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Gives "Loading.... please wait" message, then crashes back to home. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
imame4all version 1.9 or 1.10 on jailbroken firmware 3.1.3

Please provide any additional information below.
v1.8 and below are fine, but 1.9 and 1.10 crash as described above. Downgrading 
back to 1.8 works, but I'd like to use the newer versions. Would have raised it 
with 1.9's release but thought it would be fixed with next release so didn't - 
unfortunately now 1.10 doesn't work either so I'm stuck.

Up to 1.8 need iOS 4.0 since uses new API features. Update your firmware.

Thanks for the info. Just FYI though, the cydia description still says 'a mame 
emulator for all ios firmware, and the auto-report in cydia still says 
'compatible with your OS'. It would be nice to maintain backwards compatibility 
as many I know have stuck with the faster ios 3, but if not you should see 
about updating the cydia source to reflect that 1.9 onwards is ios 4 only.

I have the same problem but in my I have installed the 1.9 version on a iPad 
with iOS 4.3.2 and also get crashes.

I install it, I get a rom in the folder, I open it and it crashes before I even 
can read the "Loading... please wait" message. 

PS: might it help to add that this also happens to me with the snes4iphone 
emulator? I know that these 2 aren't related, but better to add the info.

@xabier. Maybe completely uninstalling then going up to the latest release may 
help you with imame4all, as proper ipad support was added more recently and is 
likely still being tweaked.

It may be the same case with the SNES and other emulators too. I'd recommend 
avoiding any of zodttd's emulators as I've found them all very unstable, and 
instead go for the alternatives SNES9xAD etc.

Ok, I'll do that. I installed it using iexplorer by dragging the *.deb to the 
cydia/media/autoinstall and rebooting (former iphone explorer), is there any 
problem with that?

I got ifiles installed too, and if I can avoid it, I'd prefer not adding any 
more pc<>ipad apps like Fugu, SSH or whatever, but if you tell me it's better 
with one of them, I'll do that.

And yes, I'm also looking for the AD emulators (don't have wi-fi or inet on the 
ipad, so I'll have to look for the *.deb), but well, after installing and 
uninstalling a few apps yesterday, I just got tired, lol.

I'll try and give feedback about the results. Thanks for your attention.

@xabier. In my experience, installing using that autoinstall method is not 
ideal and frequently caused problems. Straight through Cydia is the best way to 
do it, or installing it as an .ipa through itunes. Doing things without an 
internet connection on jailbroken idevices is tricky, as without cydia doing 
updates to necessary system files and regular needed bug fixes you can run into 
errors, just as you would on a PC if your Windows updates aren't done.
