Title: D-Bug 88A Remake
Post by: KrazyK on March 28, 2013
Here's another Atari ST remake from D-Bug. I've had this one kicking around unfinished for a while now and had a bit of time in the past week to sort it out.  Hopefully the odd crashes on some machine are fixed as it may have been a call to the osm dll causing the issue. If not then i'm stumped.  I've played about with unpacking the dll before compiling the exe now and moved it around in memory when initializing it and had no crashess yet  (on 4 test Win7x86/x64 machines) so here's hoping.....

@Dr Death.  Here's a special build just for you that logs what's happening to %temp%\D-Bug88Alog.txt, so when it crashes I should be able to determine what's screwing up on your laptop.

Curious indeed.  I'm surprised it crashed at that point and I have a sneaky feeling it's a video driver issue as this point creates sprites with the #PB_SPRITE_TEXTURE flag. But here's a more detailed debug version for you to try to narrow it even further.  Thanks for playing along here.    :cheers:

That crashes as it grabs a tiny 320x64 image which it really shouldn't do so i'm beat as to why your GTX580 should crash and  others work fine.  The Geforce forums are awash with errors about this card though, crashing and driver issues.
Sorry I can't be of any further help Dr Death.    :-\  I've got a couple more remakes to post too !

No prob mate i thought it was my silly laptop...Just keep up the good work on your remakes & i am sure them will update the drivers for my card.

Thanx for all your efforts to try & fix it for me.
