GBA emulator crashes on launch

Alright, so now I'm back at day one, with the console crashing at launch again. Tried restarting the comp, deleting the vba files, nothing. Strange, considering that it worked for the last two days.

 

UPDATE: I booted the PC this morning, and now it's working again. It seems that one day it runs, the next, it doesn't.

I've just downloaded VBA-M, and I can't open my the visualboy today after my computer restarted.

Third - The key to getting good support is to provide details of why it will not run and provide some OS System information to help determine the problem [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

and provide some OS System information to help determine the problem

 

F*ck this, I am thinking of creating a tool to get this information. I have already done the code for MuNES 1.3, so I can easily make the code self contained....

great idea something that dumps all the info to crashlog or something like that

 

things like versions

SDL version for sdl. gtk version for gtk front end etc

 

dump of the current state would be good in the file too possibly make it zip everything with rom in a zip

 

possibly program in a developer/debug flag with printf's on nearly everything might get you further.

Mudlord, something like Petes Copy plugin details to clipboard, except it'll list system specs, Dx environment (you can get the latest DX bimonthly version installed as well i believe.....)
