Bad rectangle 946 000?

[ParamiteSurprise]

I was just playing the PC version of oddworld and (read attatchment) that
box comes up twice, can you help me?

[moxco]

I'd say it's having trouble loading/importing the pictures. How to stop it, I don't know.

[Chubfish]

It looks like it is done on an emulator. Maybe that is why it is coming up with the error?

[Hobo]

It's your emulator.

Which I must hasten to add means you are playing it illegally and we shall not help you.

[abe is now!]

Is possible he isn't playing an illegally game? I ask to you, ParamiteSurprise, are you using an illegally game? And what game is it?

[ParamiteSurprise]

A legal game, abes oddysee, NOT an illegal game, and im not using an emulator, its just came up :\

[abe is now!]

Ok, but excuse me, I can't help you if you don't show us more informations. I didn't find that error when I played AO for PC.

[Hobo]

Your filepath seems to suggest an emulator. Not owning the game I don't know. Anyone who legally owns the game willing to tell me if they have a PSXEMU folder?

[Paul]

Actually its the pc version, its the emulated PSX LoadImage function (part of the psx sdk) thats happending because your games media files are courrpted, copy the .lvl files back from the cd to your hard drive

edit: btw the file path is to a source code file "libGPU.c" which would have been a file on whichever guy at oddworld inhabitants wrote that code, the number on the end is the line number in the source code

[Hobo]

Thank you Paul. You're very useful.

[Xavier]

I thought he was emulating too, thanks Paul

[abe is now!]

Excuse me if I am backlog about emulators and other details, but how can I use a game with an emulator, if it is original (with a CD as ParamiteSurprise made, I think)?

[Paul]

Thank you Paul. You're very useful.

Thanks Don't know what "happending" is all about though, guess thats what happens when you post when tired :S

[ParamiteSurprise]

Excuse me if I am backlog about emulators and other details, but how can I use a game with an emulator, if it is original (with a CD as ParamiteSurprise made, I think)?

It's the original CD rom, and i bought it from www.amazon.co.uk, however, this error is coming up 3 times so far, and only happens in the BOARDROOM


Edit: While i was hexediting, i found... that box message! its merged into the exe!! it must be in the game!

[Paul]

Of course its in the exe... its a function.. the cd must be damaged in that case, the only reason that happens is if the image data fails to be uploaded into the emulated psx vram.

[alf's brother's mate]

glitches are the sheer cause of misery for the world (well me and a few others). i had to start the game of AE again to try and fix an error. i did the whole game again and no, it stayed. Will he easily be able to fix it?

[Paul]

Its just courrpted games files, thats the only reason it will fail, I've seen the asm for this function.
Here it is:
