Hello, i'm still getting crashes while trying to load some games, or browsing games by typing the initial letter of the game...
don't know what happened, but until .96 release everything worked fine...
can you check the attached log? ..maybe it can be usefull

Thank you so much!

You have a corrupt PNG in your previews folder. Clear the folder if in doubt.

sometimes when i load a savestate the colour palette seems corrupted:
SFA2, Super SF2 Turbo

video settings for blitter Enhanced

this usually gets fixed by reloading the savestate and this seems to happen only with CPS2 games.

PS: a small request - can you please add hotkeys for Record Input and Stop Input Recording in the next build? right now it's a nightmare to record something hard to perform, because after each failed attempt you have to navigate the menu to stop/record again.

Would it be possible, to let FBA output a error text, to see, which png is corrupt!?

It's likely to be the one that you selected as FBA crashed.

It's likely to be the one that you selected as FBA crashed.

I never had this problem, but there already seem to be some guys, that have the problem, but don't know which png crashed the emulator. It was just a suggestion, but if it would create to much work, it won't be worth the hassle.

hello Treble Winner
well, i've tried to browse all the png's with a file checker and to browse through windows...everything is OK.

if it's OK, i can tell you the source where i get those png's....

just tell me

Thanks!

[CaptainCPS]

magicfly, you're free to post it, PNGs are not illegal afaik ^^

btw, Windows and lot of other applications will open the PNGs with no issues because they aren't using the same core that FBA uses to open the PNGs (libpng), and the current implementation into FBA has some issues with some bit depths of the PNGs (this is what I have noticed so far in my research), if the PNG is not 32 bit the most probable thing is that it will work without any crash.

SeeYaa!

I've got this weird problem with the animation slowing down ever so slightly and looking choppy. Its very subtle, but noticeable.  Played with every setting I can think of with no luck. Happens with every game I tried Pac-Man to Blazing Star. Game will start off smooth as silk and get choppy seconds after starting.

Generating depend file for src/burn/megadrive/d_megadrive.cpp...
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `driverlist.h', needed by `burn.d'.  Stop.
make: *** [mingw] Error 2
C:\FBA_SRC>
In regard to my problem here, but not to change the subject of that thread, I have this mingw error. The same error shown here with evilmitaka's compile. This happened to me on my last compile, and it didn't come back the next time after typing "MAKE" again. Only when completely deleting the source destination and starting over, is when the error returns.

To iq_132: could this be the reason Pooyan was vertically flipped the wrong way? By ignoring this error, and simply compiling again, like I did before?
