Just making a note here in case I'm too busy this week to coordinate with ppl on the IRC channel, hope I'm not too out of line by doing so 😀
dosbox isn't very friendly with insure++ or purify. insure++ wont' even let dosbox start and purify craps out when I try to start a game. I did get some information on memory leaks, but I'll dump those in IRC tomorrow. these aren't problems with dosbox, but I mentioned on IRC that I would try those tools 😀
Here is my app testing notes:
-idax seems to run out of memory in the middle of analysis. Much better than before, though!
-countdown to doomsday doesn't play intro song correctly
-mean streets locks up on start
-martiam memorandum locks up on start
-system shock CD demo corrupts display when selecting/testing GUS music/sound
-when exiting sshock demo:
HEAP[dosbox.exe]: HEAP: Free Heap block 17d88f8 modified at 17d8b30 after it was freed
at drive_cache.cpp, line 548
(note: system shock CD demo can be found on the net legally. other than these minor problems, it starts and looks/sounds fine!)
-nightmare on elm street speaker sound effects are wrong
(previously files a bug against 0.58)
-quest for glory 4 german disk version (hey, it's on the collection CD) craps out on startup due to some sound initialization problems (appears to have previously been reported)
