Cheers. Will have to wait until I can get my Pandora back before I can play with it though :( Not played X-COM for ages. Need to boot it up
 
3 hours of play with the gold version with midi working and no issues found B) (SZ 1.5 Beta 2 - Old kernel)
 
I have the gold version of xcom ufo defense, and it crashes every time i go into a tactical mission. I get full rewards but its really annoying! Im using the latest supe zaxxon 5a beta, and latest versions of xcom on the repo. Terror of the deep works without any issue. Ive tried deleting my directories and reloading it from the rars for the gold versions of the game, and ufo defense still crashes on first move from the tactical screen. I can see the men on the ship but getting them to move instant MISSION WIN!
 
I should also note im not getting music like i should be using the latest version, and gold version. Ive tried wildmidi and sdl_mixer in the config file. I get audio just not music
 
Ok i got music working rerunning the timidity installer installing to nand, but its stil crashing when i select someone to move out of the ship.
 
Maybe you are triggering errors in the original code (reading/writing memory out of bounds) which crashes Battlescape (Tactical) and returns you to Geoscape with the result of previous mission (in DOS it might have crashed or it might have done nothing).


Try scrolling around a bit, or move a different soldier, or move to a different position (or all together) - it might avoid triggering the error (and crash).
 
I got this too (crashing as soon as I try and move a unit), but instead of sending me to the result screen, I just got a black screen with the cursor (which responds). I'm running the Steam version


:(


Edit: After waiting a bit and hitting escape several times, I finally got the result screen

i only get crashes in tactic screen when i use stylus. i get no issues using the "no touchscreen" option.
