Bios Error In Gpmadmp3

[Lethe]

while i was listening to music the screen went into this black and white screen and all i can remember from the text was bios error... soon after my screen flickered so i guessed it was the batteries. is this a coincidence or does battery power affect the mp3 player?

I *MIGHT* misunderstand you, but, battery power does affect the mp3 player. no battery power, no mp3 playback. Or what do you mean?

You are using a self-flashed non-standard firmware, right?

If my above assumption is true, I'd say GPMadMP3 crashed because of power failure and then the modified bios displayed some data about the crash which can be compared to a "bluescreen" on Windows NT.

Battery power effects every program on the GP32, not just GpMadMp3. If your batteries are running low, all sorts of things can happen unpredictably inside, which can lead to a crash.

If your screen started flickering soon after then this was definitely the case, so just a change of batteries will fix it.

However if you can recreate the problem, that will be a bug, and I would try and fix it then.

WTF? it needs batteries to run dosnt it?

So therefore, low batteries = not enough power
