Not so much a gamebase issue as a VICE issue

[KrazyKanuck]

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.

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.
