Arch Linux

Unable to reproduce. Does this only happen with a particular rom file? What happens if you temporarily move ~/.snes9x to ~/.snes9x.backup ?

If I move ~/.snes9x to ~/.snes9x.backup, snes9x-gtk is even unable to load any rom ( I tested 5 roms). However, if I launch a rom by click it in my folder manager (Dolphin), snes9x-gtk is lauched and there is no segmentation fault.

So this bug seems to appear only when you load the rom with File->Open...

Thanks for the additional information. I used File->Open with two different roms and both worked fine here. Any possibility of providing the name of one of the roms that doesn't work?
Perhaps you could make someone else (on IRC?) test with one of the roms that doesn't work, if you don't wish to disclose the names of any roms here? Thanks.

Hi. I don't know how, but now i can load roms without segfault... It's very strange. Well, I suppose you can delete this report..
Thanks for your help.

Perhaps you were out of disk space or there is something wrong with your computer? (Sometimes overheating leads to surprising behavior).

Obviously, I am not sure, but my disk space doesn't seems to be the problem :

However, I had some problems with temperature.. My laptop is bad, it has a ATI Radeon card and an Intel card, but i disabled my ATI card (in BIOS) because it overheated a lot in idle! (Something like 90°C). But without this card, temperatures seem to be correct :
$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +55.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
temp2: +40.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
temp3: +57.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)

I will check my memory with MemTest to see if the problem comes from it, but arch is very stable.. :/

I have the same problem with snes9x-gtk.

I'm able to reproduce the problem if I go to File - Open ROM Image... then select the ROM from "Recently Used".

However, if I go to File - Open ROM Image... "diego", then I load my ROM from my home dir or any other dir, snes9x-gtk doesn't crash.

Opening a ROM from "Open Recent" also doesn't result in crashing. It would only crash if I open a ROM from "Recently Used".

Can't reproduce. Report upstream.

Done.

They just fixed the issue I had, I guess this can now be closed?

Unless this issue refers to another issue with crashing.

Here's the fix:

Thanks.
