C8 Error

[puit1414]

I uploaded retroarch along w/the genesis and snes user mods into my nes. I adjusted folders for each game system (NES, SNES, Genesis) and everything seemed to work fine. I went into an NES game save state and tried to play, then the screen remained blank for a while. I tried to reset, nothing. Then I tried to turn off the system, then the C8 Error came up. I pushed the power back in, then off again and it finally shut down. Turned system on again and it came up to the NES games, I tried to play a different game, same thing. I tried to reflash the kernel and take off some games, but same error happens.

Any fixes for this?

Have you used snes9x2010?

How many space do you have loaded in total?

It sounds like you are aware of the folder limitation, but to be clear there are RAM limitations due to the thumbnails that are loaded where a maximum number of combined games + save states allowed to display at once. I'd recommend trying with fewer games in the same folder if you haven't. If the issue continues, try with fewer games installed. Also you mentioned multiple systems, but please confirm whether you get the error for all systems emulated or just a certain core.

PCM720 - Did they confirm there was in fact an issue with snes9x2010 as well and that was the reason for changing it to 2005? What was the limitation? Don't really want to switch out my now working system unless absolutely necessary...

I confirmed that bug personally.
It causes snes9x2010 to create 5 MB savestates.

Ahh, got it. When I transferred games over, it said I only used up 120 MB of the 300...

Today I had my first C8 error. I used snes9x2005. I used to have a very gentle use of my NESC (not many games, not many folders, not many hours of playing). The only different thing than usual I did yesterday it to manipulate the retroarch menu (the one that appears by pressing start + select) while wanting to set the turbo on x (classic con).

Edit : maybe the oversized save-states bug isn't resolved with snes9x2005

I installed as per instructions. Made a Gameboy and an NES folder and loaded my games up. When I turned on my NES, everything worked fine it seemed. Gameboy games were working great. I went to play some nes, so i clicked on the folder and it froze, then gave me error 8. I flashed the original kernel, then installed my other games and it works fine, but as soon as I flash and install retroarch now, it freezes. Wonderinfg if anyone else has that issue.
