I need assistance

When I record a Toobin game it plays fine, I go to play it back and I crash half way through with this:



Anyone else had anything similar happen to them? Could anybody with some tech know-how shed some light on this? I don't have this problem with any other game.

which OS? have you tried the "other" version of wolf95, there are two mingw and vc.

Win2k, Chad. I havent tried any other versions of Wolf95 yet but this is a problem which goes back several versions for me. At least to 89/90 as far as I can remember.

is your mame or inp dir on a network drive?

No, I keep all my emulation stuff on a separate partition.

send me (and/or barry) the wolf95 inp and i'll try to see if it can crash in a place that's mame's or wolf's fault.

I've sent you a PM.

Thanks for having a look.

recording playsback fine to 1482350 but crashes on esc with xmame (haven't tried dosmame) can't get it to playback correctly in gdb mode to see where it crashes at 1.4M but it does crash in libfree under end_resource_tracking when failing to playback properly and ESC.

This is strange because i have this kind of error (not exactly the same values) when i try to play with -nosound but not with all the games (esprade, puzzli for example.
And with sound, the game runs perfectly.
Any idea ?

Well thanks for checking Chad / Haze. At least I know my computer isn't up the spout. Seeing those errors made me think I had dodgy memory.
