Description

Hi,
unfortunately, my installation of Homebrew Browser randomly crashes while it's working on the download queue. This happens almost every time i try to use it. Sometimes it happens immediately after starting the first download, sometimes it's able to successfully download and extract at least some of the files in the job-queue before it crashes. I'm currently using version 0.3.1.
The message is "Exception (DSI) occured!". I'm running system menu 4.0E which I upgraded from 3.2E following the instructions in the "ultimate system menu 4.0 guide" on gbatemp. Additionally, I've BootMii 0.1 Alpha, preloader 0.29, and DVDX installed. If I may provide ou with any further info, don't hesitate to ask!
Cheers,
Patrick

Mine with System Menu 3.4u crashed 3/3 times last night... I tried using it today to see if I could pinpoint anything that was causing the crashes, but it refused to crash today ;)

Yeah, I've had it work perfect a lot of times and then code dump unexpectedly. I'm trying to find out exactly when it happens.

I've made some photos of the code-dumps and attatched them to this and the following posts - maybe this is helpful for you in order to debug the problem.

For the mean time, maybe think of writing the queue to a file so if HBB crashes the queue will still remain intact next time HBB is launched.

meanwhile, i've upgraded the installation to v0.3.2, but the random crashes still occur. loosing the download queue is not a big problem - it's just rather inconvenient that i've to move myself to the console and press the power button for five seconds every time this happens ;-) if i can provide you with more screenshots of the exception data, just ask!

That's good. I had a DSI error, But it is VERY rare for me. Maybe it's because i have an aussie Pal Wii

I'm getting a similar problem. Does it work when you don't do a Download Queue?

It looks like it has to do with Minizip. Have you tried using the version that Snes9x-gx uses (http://code.google.com/p/snes9x-gx/source/browse/#svn/trunk/source/unzip)? It might help.

I can confirm this behaviour on my Wii with the latest version of HBB/Menu4.2. Is there anything I can do to help debug?

Same as you, IOS 4.2, latest HBC, latest HBB.

Will need to cut down all the features of HBB and see where the issue lies.
