pokemon white keeps crashing

Post by mickey314 » Wed Jul 16, 2014 7:17 am

I bought drastic on the 24th of last month and I havent had any problems with it until now. It keeps crashing after about 5 minutes everytime I play pokemon. I havent tried other games to check if the problem is exclusive to pokemon. Ive attached a screenshot of the crash dump. Btw ive never used, or tried to use a cheat/hack. Im playing on a samsung galaxy s3 mini and I think my phone software and drastic are both fully up to date.

Did you enable any cheats?

Sorry, I missed that in your first post somehow...

Does the crash happen when you load from an in-game save, or only from a savestate? And, are you able to join the beta group and get the latest beta? There's a feature where it'll save an input capture on crashes, if you send that to us we can see if it can be reproduced here.

Thanks for your reply. After I read your reply I applied to join the beta testing group and I think it's awaiting approval now. Until now I've only been using savestates, i'll see if it still happens when I use in game saves.

Edit:it still crashes when I use in game saves but when I loaded the game after that it continued from the last savestate rather than any in game save

Do you notice any more specific circumstances where the crash happens? Or does it appear totally random?

I think (but can't tell for sure without digging more into the version you used) that this is happening somewhere in the 3D renderer. There were a few crash issues fixed since the beta, but I'm surprised to hear that they'd affect Pokemon White because we would have probably heard more specific reports regarding it. Another possibility is that the crash is due to the texture allocator not being able to allocate, which could happen if you're out of RAM. Can you find out how much RAM you have free before starting the emulator?

Thanks again. I attached a screenshot of my RAM. I think it happens randomly or maybe after fights.

Okay, so it's not RAM, unless you have the option to unzip files to storage disabled, and even then that's not necessarily it. The crash dump txt from the beta will give a little more information too, I guess right now that's the best thing to try.

Ok, thank you so much. I'll send the crash data when I can
