+TwentySixHundred Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Well that did the trick booting into the XM module, although im getting a crash to desktop when trying to launch the ROM lol. Edit: Im sure it's probably incompetence with MAME on my behalf ? Edited August 5, 2020 by TwentySixHundred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Check the *.a78 file is being utilized and not the *.bin file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TwentySixHundred Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Both yield the same result crash to desktop, maybe i have something set up wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 When it crashes to desktop, is there an error message? If so, what is it? It may be best to start with a clean/new install of A7800, including the optional files provided earlier, and see if the results are the same.

+TwentySixHundred Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Yeah same deal, i had just done a fresh install and included the bios and rom folders before initial first boot. The XM module still boots into the empty cart phase however crashes when trying to boot the ROM. Yeah the crash is straight to desktop without an error message so it acts like incompatibility would. Standard console boots fine with retail ROMs and homebrew projects. It's just XM that crashes on boot and it doesn't even get to display the bios fuji logo. It crashes A7800 instantly after selecting the ROM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevEng Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 It may be useful if you launch A7800 from a CMD window instead, as that way you'll see any error output. Also you might want to double check that the a78 file actually is correct in size. The only time I've seen a7800 crash out personally is when I've accidentally specified a wrong-sized file of the wrong type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TwentySixHundred Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Still no dice, i have renamed the extension to sounds.a78 and executed a7800 through command prompt but still crashes to desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Sadly, not a whole lot of helpful info there. Just one shot in the dark - can you try setting up a7800 in a location without spaces in the path? I don't think it should make a difference, but it's the one thing that's sticking out to me.

Yeah noticed that and wondered and thought the same, makes sense when compiling but never had an issue with whitespace using emulators. I will have a look tonight and see what happens ?

+TwentySixHundred Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Yeah installed straight to desktop with no whitespace in the path, still no go, was worth a try though. It's all good anyway i probably wont worry about pokey and using the XM module. See how things go in the future when a7800 is compatible with pkey and bankswitching 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
