Title: Wabbitemu doesn't work
Post by: FinaleTI on August 14, 2011, 06:43:23 pm
I've been using Wabbitemu for a long time, and it worked great. Well, until a couple weeks ago that is. Now any version of Wabbitemu later than the copy I have from Christmas Eve last year doesn't work on my computer. I've tried downloading the latest version several times, but to no avail.

When I try to run one of the more recent versions of Wabbit, all I see is a small flicker about the size of the emulated calculator's screen once in the upper left corner of my monitor, then I see it open in the start bar down at the bottom of the screen. So there's some process running, but I can't get the emulator to show up. I even went through RegEdit and deleted everything associated with 'Wabbit', since that fixed my issue last time, but nothing happened. The latest version of Wabbit I can run on my computer is dated 12/24/10. Even the version dated 12/31/10 doesn't work for me.

What rom are you trying to load? Also why arent you trying the latest?

I'm trying to load a rom of OS 2.43, the same one I've always used. And I've tried to latest version several times. In fact, I re-downloaded the latest version and tested it right before I made the post.

Are you using a boofree rom. Also open the debugger and tell me how the mem map is set up and what line the debugger is executing on

I'm not sure what you mean by boofree, but I dumped this rom from my calc myself using rom8x.

Here's what the debugger shows, in the version I have from 12/24/10, as no later version does anything but open and flicker once in the corner of the monitor.

So I guess the question might be what changed to make it stop working
 Was it spontaneous, or done manually?  (does wabbit write to its containing folder, maybe the folder's protected or something?)/me also wonders if anything changed from 12/24 to the next version that might be causing this

That's the problem. I can't do anything with the latest version.

EDIT: Trying to attach a video of what happens, but I can't upload it...

You can't even open the debugger? If so you're going to have to send me your rom

Do other roms work?  Like, if you took the old .clc from you-know-where does it open?

I can't do anything with later versions.

Here's a video of what happens when I try to open the latest version.

BuckeyeDude, I sent the email.

Ah I see. Open task manager and see if there is an instance of wabbitemu running in the background. Your rom is fine, its something with your machine. Once you've ensured all instances are closed, then go clear your registry settings again. Tell me if that fixes the issues. Also if you could get on IRC it'd be helpful

Fixed. I realized I was only clearing the MUICache part of the registry, for some reason Find and Find Next didn't look outside of MUICache until I clicked outside of it.

Wabbit works once more!

No clue, all I know is I didnt break it. I didnt think our hosting expired till the end of the month. But maybe it was earlier

That's too bad.  I thought Spencer or Madskillz mentioned it'd last until 2012.  Without the site, Zelda is...

probably still being worked on. I'm sure it'll be back up eventually.
