When exitting FBA/Mame and going to load another app, the next app to be launched immediately hangs and requires the button combo to get things working again. (Beta 101). I would assume the same holds true for the other apps mentioned here like CHMM

It was actually easier just to be able to force quit the troublesome apps that would hang on exit versus having apps hang on start and have to force quit and relaunch a second time
 
@mashers
I'm using Themehax and/or Ironhax.
10.1.0-27U
(I'm aware you are on European console)
On a New3DS XL

I'm just hoping to help any way I can. Zip file ends up being 3.16 MB.

I'm thinking it will at least give you a rough workspace to try and replicate the issue?
 
Well, either way, when launcher hangs from something like this, we can L+R+B+Down to restart it and it works again.
 
I've just pushed beta 101 which adds the following:
  • Prevent launching the cart from empty folders
  • Fixed loading of title preload setting
  • Reboot menu now shows the info and non-grid wallpapers (if available)
  • Fixed corner button A selection


What hardware, region, hax etc are you using?


I feel under a lot of pressure to get this sorted. And rolling back to a previous beta would be just awful. I might have a look back through the commits between beta 94 and now to remind myself what has changed to see if I can figure this out.
Thank you so much for all your work and effort, dude!... And, yeah, is totally understandable. Just give you a break for a moment (could be good for you right now :lol:)!

Sorry but have you actually read what's been happening in this thread? I've been desperately trying all evening to try and solve this exact problem.

Thanks buddy :)

Ok, I've looked back through the commits and most of them since beta 94 were actually me trying to solve this bug. The only one that wasn't was me committing a change to tinyxml where I stripped some code out. I'm going to try downloading the version of tinyxml.c and tinyxml.h from beta 94 and merge it back in and see what happens.

No, it's my fault. It only happens if you select the corner buttons using A. I know what I've done, and I'm about to push a fix.

OK, when press A i get this message (do you mean this?):

EDIT: b101 fixed this

Regardless of the small apps that are janky, this is the best. I love this launched so much. Thank you for everything you do bro. My setup is in my signature, and your launched completes it. Take a break, but keep up the good work for real.
 
I believe the last working version was 94, correct? I hope so anyway. I have just looked back through the commits since beta 94, and the only changes were removal of unneeded code from tinyxml, then changes to try and resolve this crashing issue. So I have reverted tinyxml to a version before beta 94 and uploaded this as beta 102. Please could you all update to this version and try again?
 
For all it's worth, on beta 94 (or at least I believe it is beta 94, unless the version number wasn't changed in the beta 94 I have), returning to launcher from exiting svdt would crash.
Was it supposed to be working on beta 94?

Ugh, ok. So back to square one if it still doesn't work on 102.
 
Beta102. No freezes but Ehen Start every homebrew app loads for a little time
The freeze is ok, I added a delay for troubleshooting. Can you try returning from an XML title and then booting it again?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Specifically, please try SVDT and CHMM2, or any other app which was freezing before.
 
On beta 102, hangs in the same way it did in beta 99. Enter main loop in bootlog.txt

Beta 99, I am able to exit svdt and the launcher doesn't crash anymore, when it crashed in the previous few betas where you were trying out things to fix it.

However, I try to run it again after having exited back to launcher, and it hangs when trying to load the app.

bootlog.txt says "Enter main loop"


Also, yeah, I had tried beta 94 again but I figured I didn't have the "true" beta 94 (I picked the one from Nov 3 that says it removed some unneeded code from tinyxml.)

That didn't work, so I tried the beta 94 right under that one, right before you removed the code from tinyxml, hangs in the same way though :/

And you say it works fine on your end and you're unable to reproduce the issue?
Maybe the entry point used and the 3DS version used could affect things, which would be pretty annoying.
