Fresh unzipped V12 crashes upon starting the program

Post by Orchidsworn »

Not sure what other detail I can give since moving to V12 I cannot get it to do more than open a window that instantly crashes out.

Try deleting "pcem.cfg".

Same results, I downloaded a pcem.cfg someone posted here and now instead of just closing the window I get a warning that the program is crashing followed by a crash.

When I first tried V12 I used an incompatible motherboard / video card combination which caused a corrupt BIOS flash file and I got the behavior you described.
Open up the folder for the BIOS rom in your roms folder and try deleting the flash file.

I've uploaded a non-release binary to http://pcem-emulator.co.uk/files/PCemV12Win_debug.zip. Can you try that _without_ pcem.cfg (ie in the configuration where it instantly closed rather than crashing), then post the contents of the generated pclog.txt file please?

That one just works for some reason seems everything is working as it should and the original .exe is now working as well. Now I got a crash after trying to boot from the HDD but I will mess around with that a bit and see how it goes before starting a new thread.

All is back to normal and working as it was preV12. Thank you.
