FF1 Hackster crashes when I use a map editor
« on: September 22, 2010, 02:53:57 PM »
Both map editors crash on several roms, including hacks that already have custom maps, and 3 different computers. I've attached an image. And I am so sick of it being too large and then having to retype this post.

Hmmm, it's barely noticeable, but I think I know the problem. It's the [a1] in the filename, which suggests it's not a clean dump. Try finding a "clean" rom.

Like one that ends with [!].nes? Those don't work either.

Curious, what OS are you using? If Vista or 7, try and run FFHackster in compatibility mode for '95 or '98. I have a hunch, and I want to confirm it.

XP. What do you want to test?

Well, so much for that. I've been using XP for years and haven't had what you are experiencing. I doubt a SP3 vs SP2 issue would pop up, so this is likely something else entirely.

Curious, did you use Grond's patch on FFHackster?

I don't know what that is.

So, no.

Well, I'm out of ideas then. The last possible explanation is that you have an old beta that Disch released which was broken. But if you've gotten v1.0 off the site, then that won't be the case. I asked Disch, and he has no idea as well. He even commented how he's surprised FFHackster even runs at all. Apparently he has no faith in a 10-year old program. :tongue:

Now that you mention it, I downloaded FFH off disch.zophar.net. I'm at a school comp without WinRAR at the moment, but when I get home I'll download the one off slickproductions.org.

disch.zophar.net still exists? That was taken down over 2 years ago. I wouldn't recommend getting anything from there, cause it's horribly outdated.

Still doesn't work. Does the EXE work for anyone else?: http://lilfu.webs.com/FFHackster.rar
