Need game tester !

[sloggy]

I am just about to finish high res version of one of my games. Game works fine on my Clie T615C and on the emulator as well (all warnings on, pass gizmos test).
My friend bought his Clie (T665C) yesterday and I tried to beam the game to his Palm and right after the transfer was done, his Clie crashed with 'Fatal exception' error and only solution was hard reset. We tried again and same thing happened.
After that, we did the same thing through HotsyncManager, but with same result, after he received the game (without running it), Palm just crashed. Only solution - hard reset. All other games we tried on his device (6-7 of them) worked fine.
On my Clie there is no problem at all.

Anyway, I need an someone who will try to run the game on his Clie and let me know about the results. He would also risk losing all data.
I someone is crazy and brave enough, you can contact me on support@bigbluebubble.com
Game I need to test is high res version of Bubble Trouble. I would give a free registration to the volunteer.

I would try it but after hearing about your friends accident, i'm not so sure if I wanna try it out anymore...Since I do alot of beta testing myself, wut the heck. Look for my email..

[IlLuSiOnS]

Tried it today and crashed my clie...Needed a hard reset :(

[OcellNuri]

I bet it's a problem with the 66mhz Dragonball SuperVZ. There were a few other games that wouldn't run on the 66mhz models... Grand Theft Auto and Rayman come to mind. I don't know how to fix it though.

[IlLuSiOnS]

Well, I have a "re-patched" rayman that actually works on the clie. :D

[OcellNuri]

Yea, that's how I know the problem can be fixed. A patch was put out that fixed the issue. Good luck!

[sloggy]

I hope SONY's tech support will help. I can't even start debugging because CLIE crashes before I even start the game. Btw, who released patch for Rayman, developer ? Maybe they can help.

[OcellNuri]

I'm pretty sure it was the developer. I'm not sure who the developer is, but you could find out easy at Palmgear.com.

[IlLuSiOnS]

A friend of mine produced a patch for it...Works on all cliés :D

[IlLuSiOnS]

Not sure if the dev produced one or not :P

Forgot to tell ya that it required a hard-reset right after installing it...

As you are having the problem right after it is installed, I think the problem is due to the function PilotMain : this function ( for all installed applications ) is called by the OS on some specific events, like for exemple after an application is installed.

So, if you don't register any notification, your PilotMain function should take care of running only under normal conditions, which is done by :
UInt32 PilotMain( UInt16 cmd, MemPtr cmdPBP, UInt16 launchFlags )
{
UInt32 error;

if ( !( error = RomVersionCompatible( MIN_ROM_VERSION, launchFlags ) ) )
{
if ( cmd == sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch )
{
if ( !( error = StartApplication() ) )
{
EventLoop();
StopApplication();
}
}
}
return( error );
}

Hope it help !

PS : sorry for the alignment, I was unable to have it displayed correctly...

[sloggy]

Thank you to everyone who helped. I find out what was the problem. I was opening high-res mode before sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch is checked so program would try to open high res mode right after installation and caused some Clie models to crash. Game will be released in a day or two and as I promised, KC (Illusions ?), Kinou (you actually opened my eyes :)) and Centurion will get a free registration.

[IlLuSiOnS]

Thanks sloggy :) Btw, yes it is me KC...

[Kinou]

Thanks sloggy, but I'm wondering : did you looked at the source exemples provided with the Palm OS 5 SDK ?

There is a lot of things to take care of to be sure an application run fine on all devicesPalm OS versions and those exemples are very well documented and can be used as squeletton !

What's the name of the game? I'll try it out on my T665 if you still need.

Does it run on monochrome devices? If so I will give a try on my T415.

[sloggy]

I didn't even install 5.0 SDK. I am working in GCC (and hate CW), so I probably won't work on OS 5.0 version for a while.
But anyway, game work fine on SONY OS 5.0 simulator as well on emulator.
For everyone who want to see the game, I'll be done with the final testing in about few hours so you can find it later tonight on www.bigbluebubble.com (http://www.bigbluebubble.com)

[sloggy]

Ok, it's done. Please, give it a try and let me know if it's working on all CLIE models.

Works great on my t665c :)

[Nighthound]

[timewaster77]

It runs on my T415 but it lags horribly. :(
