I reverted back to 5. Becouse 6 does not run on my machine. Also.. when it dont run, it`s still running in the background. Looks like a recovery thing.

What actually happens? Does the main window ever appear?

Have you checked your recovery folder to see if there are any files in there?

Note that for 1.1.6 the recovery folder moved to:

For Vista and Win 7: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\SynthMaker\Recovery

For XP and 2000: C:\Documents And Settings\[user name]\Application Data\SynthMaker\ Recovery

It never started to run, alternating the safe mode option. even in safe mode it crashed. After cleaning out my folder I noticed, there are no temp and other directories installed into the Synthmaker folder. Also acces to the dbghelp.dll isn`t released after failing to load.

MegaHurtz ·

it shouldve been loading the standard synth.

Is there not a "modules" folder in the SM install folder?

All user data folders are now in AppData or Documents and Settings, Have you had a look there? Note that the AppData or Documents and Settings folders may be hidden so you'll have to show hidden items in your view oprions.

You ran the 1.1.6 betas ok didn't you?

MegaHurtz ·

I have no such folder?

malc ·

What OS are you on?

MegaHurtz ·

Im using Xp. Strange thing is that it supposed to be running. Yust doesnt seem to be visible.

malc ·

Do you not have a Documents and Settings folder?

MegaHurtz ·

Yes I do but there`s nothing related there.

malc ·

Do you have the show hidden files and folders option switched on? It's under the View tab of the Folder Options dialog in Win7, not sure if it's exactly the same in XP though.

MegaHurtz ·

Eureka! 😀 Another corrupted temp was hidden away inside the default user section.

Thanks for the help!

malc ·

Excellent. Was it a recovery file or a corrupt .hom file?

It's possible that this arose from the betas, at least I hope that's the case 🙂

MegaHurtz ·

I don`t know I deleted it all 😠 There could`ve been a recovery where I poked around in some invalid memory.

malc ·

Ah well, not to worry 🙂

MegaHurtz ·

So.. in the field of memin there`s only a load instruction, not an actual location?

malc ·

memin? Is this related or are you starting a new topic? 🙂

MegaHurtz ·

I give up.. On one note 😀,, if you make it specify a pointer to ram location and table size we can use it in our patches.

malc ·

I'm not sure if memin was ever implemented. It could be one of those experimental things that never progressed.

I can see the value in this but it's not trivial to implement.

memin has been highlighting for last, ohhh 4.2 years. [old link]

Maybe one day. 🙂

Hang on...I think I just soiled myself! memin?, are you guys telling me that this command exists but is not officially a command? and...It reads memory locations?? OMG We need that..Do tell more... I'm all ears!

McBarGig ·

Nevermind I just read the other post...Damn, I thought we had some new access..

If yr up to it be my guest at testing the sort of cracked waveplayer. (topic: memin) But my assumption is that another array gets initialised. these things are kinda shrouded in mystery.
