2.8.0 crashing

Post by gradius3 »

I just downloaded and tried the newest 2.8.0 release for Switch from the homepage. Never had problems with 2.7.0 so far. When adding and then launching any game there is immediately a popup telling me "debugger started... etc. ..." and giving me an error message "cannot open /dev/null to dump midi output!" :shock:

After exiting and starting anything else the console completely crashes with error code 2162-0002 and needs a reset.

I am on cfw atmosphere 17.0.0 btw. As already said, just installing the plain 2.7.0 version without adding/changing anything else is working fine.

Any ideas? :(

I can reproduce the bug with 2.8.0 with Day of the Tentacle, but Lure of the Temptress works ok.

This is because in 2.8.0 a new default MIDI option was introduced which doesn't work on handhelds.

Here's the simple fix:
- Start ScummVM 2.8.0
- Change Global Options->Midi->GM Device to "Don't use General MIDI music"
- Click Apply and OK.

Now it will all work again.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

This will be fixed on Switch (and Vita) in future releases by this commit:
