Well ya learn something new everyday. :)
I don't usually use audacity for my audio work, usually Propellerhead Reason and/or Adobe Audition. :)
Just got audactiy for this sort of stuff 'cause it's quick.
I'm usinde Audition for homebrew and it works perfectly; the only thing that gives problems are the .ogg files since Audition uses another type of container
 
Right, beta 98 removes the call to audio_stop() when first loading the theme when booting the launcher. Please try the following again:
  1. Update to beta 98
  2. Go into Help/About and verify that you are definitely running on beta 98
  3. Launch a title which causes a hang upon returning to the launcher
  4. Quit the app and allow the launcher to hang
  5. DON'T ALLOW THE LAUNCHER TO RESTART. This will overwrite the log file. Instead, just take the SD card out
  6. Put the SD card in your computer and open the file /bootlog.txt
  7. Post the contents of the file here

FBA and MAME no longer crash on exit here.

EDIT: But now when I go to load another app afterwards, they hang on start and I have to do the button combo to return to menu. Reproduced it twice in a row.

Anyone else finding that the crash is gone but theme sounds don't work after exiting an app? And does re-selecting a theme solves this?

Edit - also are others able to launcher apps after this happens?

Check out my edit above. It also got stuck when I tried to change a theme.
Edit: you already saw it :P
 
I've notice that CTRBootManager (CBM) forces/helps to return correctly to HBL with many crashing apps... Problem is time delay required to load both CBM and HBL.
 
Thank you. Is that the actual one from your SD card or a downloaded copy? I want to try again to replicate the problem so need things to be as similar as possible.
Is the one from my sd but I'm getting the same problem with others too. I just testes hans and I exit before launching the game and got the same result. I'm also using you DKC theme.
 
FBA and Mame from the latest Retroarch nightlies also exhibits this problem but you're going to need to add an xml file as described in the RA thread to get them to launch. They launch under the Youtube app with HANS and I assume that's what causes their crash on exit (and now subsequent hang on launching anything afterwards)

Yeah, with SVDT and JJTapia19's Yoshi Theme, all sound effects stop after returning to HBL... And, for me at least, trying to select another app after this, freezes HBL.

Edit: Message in bootlog.txt file is: "Enter main loop"

Still getting the crash with CTRXplorer in latest update.
Yeah, for me too... A good solution I've found for this problem, ATM, is:
I've notice that CTRBootManager (CBM) forces/helps to return correctly to HBL with many crashing apps... Problem is time delay required to load both CBM and HBL.

Edit: I have to return to b94 version, because CBM + HBL-b98 always crashing/freezing with problematic apps (yellow screen).

@mashers: Here is my (additional) bug report:

- Option to load titles in background is not recorded (each time I load/return to the HBL, always is ON, no matter what).
- Selecting a theme and exiting from HBL in a forced way (like pressing combo buttons, through Netloader deactivated or powering-off) seems doesn't record the new theme selection (always returns to previous theme activated).
- Creating/selecting an empty folder and later pressing A button, for any strange reason, always tries to load Region Free: if a cartrigde game was inserted, then is executed.
- If latest apps folder executed/stored on HBL is removed for any reason (externally), HBL tries to open it and using the "change folder" option made HBL finally crashes.
- On "Netloader" and "Reboot" screens would be better if is used the "wallpapertopinfo.png" instead of "wallpapertop.png" file (when is available). Look:

scr_1_TOP_LEFT.png scr_2_TOP_LEFT.png

Well, this is all for now! Thanks and keep up the good work!
