Zelda Minish Cap (EUR) - VBA Crashes in 2 places.

**Spacy** · March 14th, 2005

Hi.
I noticed some bad errors in "1737 - The Legend Of Zelda (EUR) [EEPROM_V124].zip". In the first savestate, go up, in the second one, go right. In both cases VBA (Release Version) will just shut down. In the self-compiled debug-version, MSVC++ shows me where the error occurs, but I don't know how to fix it.

BTW, can anyone send me links to a good GBA Tech docs?

Don't worry, the attachment is NO Rom, only the savestates

I found something out:
The error above only appears if I compile the original 1.7.2 Sources with Microsoft VC++ 7.1. It appears with both, the 6.0 and the NET 2002 (7.0) Project File.

BUT in the downlaodable preCompiled 1.7.2 exe file, this error is not there, but then there are errors with the light if you go right in the first savestate.

Please, Forgotten, can you tell what's wrong with all this o.o ?

edit:
For now I've got a Solution: Use 1.8 Beta or newest CVS Source, but 1.7.2 has still errors.

There was a buffer overrun in the 1.7.2 code that is fixed in the current CVS. I don't remember where but you can find if you do diffs in the code. The new MS compiles have buffer overrun protection and it seems to cause some of the problems like the graphic issues you described.
