Mon, 06 Sep 2010 18:54:20 +0000 http://speedofmac.com/blog/?p=564#comment-275 Thanks for helping to provide these great Mac builds! You rock!! Just a heads up, but I’ve experienced a couple kernel panics with PCSX build 56551 (Aug. 27) and build 56829 (Sept. 5). Each time, I was playing Chrono Cross from an ISO file with the “odd/even bit hack" enabled. And each time, the panic occurred when I pressed the “esc” key to exit Full Screen and bring up the windowed screen. In case it helps, I’ve attached the log files from the panics here: https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1FgK0wrbJdrBEGhyG_LQ2A9ejC5UcocPWPX4rlW9lrZw&hl=en&authkey=COLCjakG https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1g2e0XBiwP9W5LEd1QDL9edU12FUprB6TZ8G5-kb3b_c&hl=en&authkey=CPLd7OMK Thanks again!!

I have the package you downloaded, and just today I thought about including it instead of the one that's currently there. I'll separate 32- and 64-bit versions of the launcher in time for the release. The video plugin is now saved by default (it really should've been before). I've been thinking about the Terminal windows. I can reuse windows, but I'm a little nervous about getting mixed up with other Terminal processes going on. I'll have to see if I can differentiate between them. I'll look into that, but I'll definitely get the games to run without opening Terminal by default and make a preferences debug option to run them in Terminal when output is important. (Just did this.) I just fixed up the problem with apostrophes in rom titles; I should've caught onto that before now. Thanks again for your help! That’s awesome feedback.

It now runs great if I'm using the Glide plugin. I keep wanting to use Rice, because I want to use the Zelda: Ocarina of Time hi-res textures, but it crashes after about 5 seconds of the intro video. Every time, it's crashing with: 8/28/10 9:34:05 PM mupen64plus[837] mupen64plus(837,0x7fff703a8c20) malloc: *** error for object 0x11ef12518: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed. *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug I should mention that when I'm using Rice with the hi-res textures disabled, the screen is all flickery anyway.
