I'll check it this week-end, if possible

What is the status of this item?

comment:3 by SF/arisme, 20 years ago

Seems fine in 0.6.1b. Please recheck with your version when it'll be released to close the bug.

comment:4 by SF/schnibble, 20 years ago

I've got the same problem, both in ScummVM 0.6.0 and ScummVm 0.6.1b (aug 5 2004 21:17:44).

ScummVM version (scummvm 0.6.0 and ScummVm 0.6.1b (aug 5 2004 21:17:44))

Bug details, including instructions on reproducing Start a new game, open the drawer and pickup the scissors. Walk to the bar and use the scissors on the dwarf on the left. Walk to the screen with the dwarfmine, pick up the stone in front of the dwarfmine and look at it. Wear the dwarfbeard and enter the mine. Password is Beer (option 7). In the mine, walk to the right side. You arrive in a room with two dwarfs and some barrels and here the game will crash to the Todayscreen. (This is the shortest way to the crash, I believe).

When the game has crashed to the Todayscreen of my Ipaq 1930 PocketPC my taskbar is gone (I see instead of the taskbar the background of the game).

Language of game (English, German, ...) English

Version of game (Talkie, Floppy, ...) Floppy, DOS

Platform and Compiler (Win32, Linux, ...) PocketPC on Ipaq 1930 PDA

Attach a save game if possible Can't upload today, maybe tomorrow.

If this bug only occured recently, please note the last version without the bug, and the first version including the bug. That way we can fix it quicker by looking at the changes made. Both ScummVm 0.6.0 and 0.6.1b have this problem on the Ipaq.

This crash doesn't occur on my laptop with WinXP (tested it).

I don't really understand what's going on, because the saved game is working fine for me. I'll retest from the beginning of the game later, in the meantime could you try with the latest CVS head snapshot available from http://arisme.free.fr/PocketScumm, and post the details of the exception if a crash occurred ?

Thanks

(note that it's normal to have a missing taskbar if a crash occurs, because ScummVM won't be able to refresh it - running ScummVM again and exiting cleanly should fix this).

comment:6 by SF/schnibble, 20 years ago

I'll install the CSV you've mentioned and try it. But where can I find the details of the exception?

By the way, I can't restart ScummVM without resetting after a crash, because I need the taskbar (Start) to start ScummVM.

I really want to thank you (and the rest) for the development of ScummVM. I really like playing those old adventures again on mij PDA!!!!

Details of the exception will be stored in a .txt file in the root directory of the device with a name looking like scummvm_exception_date.txt

And you should run ScummVM from the File Explorer (not from the Start Menu) when running a game that crashes :) (OK, you'll only know after it crashes once :p)

comment:8 by SF/schnibble, 20 years ago

There are only two files in my root:

scummvm_stderr (is empty) and scummvm_stdout, containing:

Looking for simon1dos Trying to start game 'Simon the Sorcerer 1 (DOS)'

And running from the File Explorer indeed helps, thank you.

Thanks, I'll trace it back tonight and try to fix it (it's a misalignment so it should be easy to spot ... but I still don't understand why it works fine on my device)

comment:11 by SF/arisme, 20 years ago

Please retry with tonight version :)

comment:12 by SF/schnibble, 20 years ago

Perfect, you've solved the problem!

Thanks,
