Wanted: Intel Mac Tester

[JonTrainer]

I need some help testing the Universal Binary for my game, Bullfrog. Can someone with an Intel Mac download it and verify that it runs on their computer?

Thanks!

integer division by zero on Intel causes a crash, where it produces zero on PowerPC. It looks like NSSound is at fault here though...

[JonTrainer]

Thanks OSC!

Off for some bug squashing.

I also ran it and got a crash shortly after the loading screen appeared. I checked it and it does say universal binary (were you wondering that?)

Did you happen to use SDL in your source? i am trying to figure out if SDL is built and configured right in my machine and knowing if i can run SDL code would help.

Thanks for checking this. I'm not using SDL, I'm actually using straight cocoa.

I found the problem. I'm not sure if it's a bug in NSSound on the intel side or not. But a specific .wav file I was using crashes on intel with the Divide by zero error when trying to load it. But works fine on ppc macs.

The only way I found of getting around it was to change to a different .wav file.

Thanks for your help. The Universal Binary version of Bullfrog has been released.
