Emulator freezing in pod

Each time I tried to grab the chest in dark U of PoD, my emulator would freeze. No issues anywhere else. Happened during a ladder race.

Did the emulator itself become unresponsive?

As in, you had to forcibly exit it?

[valid fossil]

Yes, all three times. I didn’t think much of it until it happened two more times in nearly the exact same spot and nowhere else.

make sure you don't have any cheats enabled or anything weird with autotracking

because this definitely isn't a randomizer issue

@valid fossil Which emulator and version number?

[valid fossil]

I went back in and disabled cheats - still freezing in about the same place. Was using an auto tracker at the beginning but by the third time I had given up on it.

I’m using snes9x version 1.60

How are you resuming your gameplay after disabling cheats? Via loading a Save State or choosing your save file on the games save select screen?

The former will retain whatever changes the cheats made, the latter wouldn't if you were to also reset the emulation after turning off the cheats.

When the emulator itself crashes, that indicates a problem with the emulator or the computer that is running the emulator. The actual SNES game itself is generally not the culprit, as the game's whole world is just what the emulator is emulating.

Maybe update the emulator to the latest version? And if the problem still persists, its probably a computer issue.

[regal crest]

Right.

I was choosing my save file on the save select screen

Just tried redownloading the seed and playing through up to pod and was able to grab the chest no issues.

snes9x hangs and becomes unresponsive on a STP instruction for some reason, which usually means the rom has crashed, but it just doesn't do anything sane
