Engine repeatedly crashing after 10.5 update?


Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone--

 

I hadn't checked in a while, but was excited to see the 10.5 release available when I got the notice today. I've installed it on one server, but after drag-copying the Console and letting it run the included Engine updater, I'm seeing repeated, failed attempts to launch the engine on that machine, even after a restart. Here's what the log shows:

Oct  3 15:37:39 mail2 com.retrospect.retroengine[1837]: #2> Command line is /Library/Application Support/Retrospect/RetrospectEngine.bundle/Contents/MacOS/RetroEngine
Oct  3 15:37:39 mail2 com.retrospect.retroengine[1837]: #3> LmGet: ndex = 20, zero offset
Oct  3 15:37:39 mail2 com.retrospect.retroengine[1837]: Assertion failure at "elem.cpp-1145", on threadID 0x10360D000
Oct  3 15:37:39 mail2 com.apple.launchd[1] (com.retrospect.retroengine[1837]): Exited with exit code: 255
Oct  3 15:37:39 mail2 com.apple.launchd[1] (com.retrospect.retroengine): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

This is on a Mac mini running Snow Leopard Server. Anyone seen this or have any idea what this might be about?

 

Thanks,

Fred

Got this resolved. For anyone else encountering this, it appears to have been that my Config80.dat file got corrupted during the update process. When I looked in the Application Support folder, I noticed that the Config80.dat file was about 45MB while the Config80.bak file was only about 23MB. So, I removed the corrupted Config80.dat file and restarted RetroEngine, letting it make a new one from the .bak file.

 

HTH,

Fred

... I noticed that the Config80.dat file was about 45MB while the Config80.bak file was only about 23MB. So, I removed the corrupted Config80.dat file and restarted RetroEngine, letting it make a new one from the .bak file.

It's normal for the Config80.dat to be larger than the Config80.bak file. The fact that the Config80.dat file is larger not in itself a sign that the file is corrupted. It may be corrupted, but the size difference doesn't tell you anything about that.

 

My Config80.dat is 20MB, my Config80.bak is 7MB, and I have no problems with Retrospect 10.5.
