Not so much a gamebase issue as a VICE issue

Tue Dec 06, 2022 3:16 am

I don't know what's going on... My VICE keeps crashing when it loads a game, whether or not I'm running it through gamebase or not, so I know the issue is not with gamebase.

The emulator will load, but then either freeeze or crash mid-way during a program's loading. It does work, but I have to load the emulator 2-3 times to get it to open properly without crashing. What's going on? I'm using VICE 3.6.1. Tried re-installing VICE, but I still get the same issue.

you really should update to latest version (3.7), it's updated daily.
https://github.com/VICE-Team/svn-mirror/releases

Gtk3 versions of VICE are unstable on old hardware.
The Windows version is not fully supported.
i think devs build on Linux???

common crashes i have encounterd are caused by sound settings.
it's been reported a few times.

changing the sound buffer size is supposed to stop the overflow crash (default value 100 is to low)
Add_CLP( -soundbufsize 350)

also try with "no sound" and see if that works.

i now use the SDL version on windows, which is more stable (for me).
but the old WinVICE is still my goto emulator version.
