[Bug 25616] New: Comet Busters: Error displays indicating Wine cannot continue

Debug trace of running Comet Busters

When launching the Comet Busters executable program (comet.exe), the program
error dialog box is displayed that winedvm.exe has encountered an error.  When
the "close" button is clicked, a short backtrace display is shown (screen print
attached).  When I ran the program using the WINEDEBUG command, the point in
the program where it appears to fail is in using the midimap.dll library. 
Again, I have attached the output from the WINEDEBUG process.

Please specify Wine version and retest with the latest development version of
Wine (1.3.10). Also, please install debug symbols for Wine and attach a new
backtrace, preferably in plain text.

As a test, I installed Comet Busters on an old PC that is running Windows 3.1. 
It installed and runs properly on this PC.  When I reviewed the file system,
the midi handling appears to be handled by midimap.drv (there is no midimap.dll
on this system).  So it appears that some type of configuration change needs to
be made to point this native midi control to this file instead of using
midimap.dll.  I am attaching the system.ini file from the Windows 3.1 PC.  If
anyone can advise how to configure Wine to use the midimap.drv file in lieu of
the midimap.dll file, that might resolve this issue.  Thanks.

Andrew,

I am currently using version 1.3.9 of Wine.  I just tried to get the update but
when I ran the "sudo apt-get update..." command, I received a message back that
I was at the current level of Wine.  Evidently, the binary for Ubuntu has not
been put into a distribution package yet.  I will check tomorrow and the next
day to see if version 1.3.10 is available.  Once it is, I will retry Comet
Busters.  So I will probably make another post in a few days.

I also went to your link and downloaded that version of Comet Busters which
actually was slightly newer than the version I purchased some years ago.

Thanks again for looking at this bug submission.

Regards,

Craig

When you do so, please ensure that debug symbols are installed and attach the
backtrace, as in the original screenshot, but in plain-text format.

Andrew,

I had the chance to download and install Wine 1.3.10.  However, when I retried
launching Comet Busters (v1.4) I still got the same issues which seem to
pertain to the midi map functions.  I did not understand completely about
including debug symbols from your previous response, so using the information
from the FAQ section, I reran WINEDEBUG including the "+seh" "+relay" and
"+tid" parameters.  I compressed the log file and attached it to this bug
report.

FYI, I am using Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome on a Dell XPS 430 PC.  Please let me
know if there is some other information I can provide.

Regards,

Craig

I mean that you need to install the package that contains symbolic debugging
information for Wine. I don't need a +relay trace, so after installing symbols
for Wine, just attach debug output without setting WINEDEBUG.

Andrew,

Once I applied the patch and reran the "configure" command, I was able to bring
up the game.  However, there was no sound.  In fact, the sound and music
buttons at the top of the game screen were grayed out indicating sound was not
available.  This might have been the point of your patch to test out things. 
But thanks to you we are a lot closer.  FYI, I did attach a short debug log
noting the sound issue along with the game display showing that it does work. 
And one other note, version 1.4 would not display the spaceship or asteroids
(this is the version that uses WinG), but when I tried out my older purchased
version (prior to being built with WinG) it does display the spaceship and
asteroids.

Anyway, I will leave it with you as to the next step in making the sound work.

Regards,

Craig

If it's not a problem for you, could you send me a copy of the application
through private e-mail to the address associated with my Bugzilla account? That

I suspect you compiled Wine without the headers for the various sound backends.
I sent http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/70052 to address the crash.

The patch was committed as b84f2f229b08acab6622e691a5f1dbcaefa8232f. I tried
starting a new game in Comet Busters and was able to hear sound effects and
music, so I think there shouldn't be any more sound-related problems with it.
You may have to configure a softsynth for music if you haven't done so already.

Hi Andrew,

I rebuilt a test build of Wine using the latest patch you noted.  This caused
the "Music" button to be activated within Comet Busters, but not the "Sound"
button.

In reading your previous response about configuring sound, I searched on
softsynth and found some notes about Timidity.  I installed that package, but
music still does not play and the "Sound" button is still inactive.  In
reviewing http://wiki.winehq.org/MIDI I ran the aconnect command to check on
the sound configuration (for which I've attached the output) which shows
Timidity referenced on ports 0 - 3. Also per the link I ran the aplaymidi
command using one of the midi files found in the Comet Busters folder and that
did play the music.

The link vaguely references a need for some type of patches (softfonts) but I
could not find anything further on that.

Am I on the correct path for setting up midi sound in Wine?

Again I want to stress that the main thing is that I can play the game now,
which is great.  I do greatly appreciate all of the help you have given.

Regards,

Craig

Make sure you've satisfied the optional dependencies for ALSA and its ilk when
running the configure script before compiling Wine, or just wait until 1.3.11
is released and packaged for your distribution.

Hi Andrew,

After testing out both timidity and fluidsynth (these were the noted examples
in the "http://wiki.winehq.org/MIDI" link) I settled on fluidsynth.  I
downloaded the fluidsynth package along with its associated support packages
for soundfonts and tested that out per the wiki page.  I could play the midi
files associated with Comet Busters using the "wintest.exe mcishell"
application, but I still could not get music or sound while playing Comet
Busters.

After installing the fluidsynth packages I did rerun the "./configure && make
depend && make" command to rebuild the patch version of wine but still did not
get sound or music to work.  Since I'm still a rookie in the Linux/Wine world I
could have missed some setup so that midi support is incorporated in the
rebuild.

Would you recommend:

- Rebuilding the patch version after revising some make script?
 - Wait until release 1.3.11 comes out and if the submit a separate bug if the
sound issue is still there?

Thanks again for any information you can send.

Regards,

Craig

Wine 1.3.11 is released now, so it may be much easier to try using it when your
distribution packages it.

Andrew,

I have updated my packages to wine 1.3.11, which allowed me to launch Comet
Busters without any failure issue.  The sound also worked.

Then when I started fluidsynth as a background task I initially did not have
any music.  However, when I went into the "ini" file for Comet Busters and
qualified the location of the midi files with the drive and path
(C:\COMET...") the music did play.

So using the latest version of wine with fluidsynth addresses this issue.  At
your convenience, you may close out this bug.  Thank you very much for your
excellent support.

Regards,

Craig
