tee-n-tee, when handling bug reports from emulator users "any rom" means, 50% of the time, a total lie.

With due respect, I do not think that such a statement was necessary. Tee-N-Tee, like many of us around here, was trying to help.

Yeah, I agree. He reported a bug to the BizHawk coders and explained what caused it and his error report. How about natt could have just gotten any common rom tried it (to see if the problem is ROM specific) and if that ROM doesn't have the issue ask him what one of the ROMs was that crashed (and say that the problem is not present with every ROM).

Yeah, hold on while I check every rom in existence to guess which ones you were using.
If the problem persisted with every single ROM wouldn't you only have to try one ROM?

I tried one rom and it didn't happen. But that's been resolved now.

Buddybenj, if you ever gain the power to write software, you will learn the asymmetry between finite numbers of developers, infinite numbers of users, and the consequences that has on the real situation of who's doing whom favors, and how to efficiently marshal resources. While natt is busy guessing information which the person with the problem already possesses, he is unable to fix something else for some other person. Getting your panties twisted up about the problem you can see? Try harder to imagine the problems you can't.

Link updated with version with a fixed build (I guess I goofed the build before?) also has a few minor fixes in there.

I think I found a couple more bugs in Hex Editor. - When typing letters A-F to poke memory addresses in the Hex Editor, it instead comes out as 1-6 (e.g. "BC" -> 0x23). Furthermore, typing G,H,I give 7,8,9 respectively, and typing J gives an error:

- When a GB game is loaded (in my case, Pokemon Yellow), then in Hex Editor, when selecting HRAM memory domain (Options -> Memory Domains -> HRAM), it says that there are "0x7F addresses", but only 0x70 addresses are listed below (0x00-0x6F). Neither of these bugs were in BizHawk 1.5.3.

There are definitely 7F addresses in the actual HRAM; I'll take a look at what the hex editor is doing

input bugs fixed in r6063. HRAM bug is a bit weird. obviously, the hex editor can't show an incomplete row. adding logic for handling that will be annoying, but maybe necessary. However, in this case, it's conceivable that we could present the HRAM as 0x80 bytes including the interrupt enable flag present at $ffff. That would involve libgambatte work probably. Are there any other known cases of memory maps with non-16B-aligned sizes?

The only other memory domains with size not a multiple of 16 that I know of are: N64 PI Register (says 0x34 addresses, displays 0x00-0x2F). N64 VI Register (says 0x3C addresses, displays 0x00-0x2F). N64 AI Register (says 0x28 addresses, displays 0x00-0x1F). I also found another bug. While Hex Editor is open, if File -> Close ROM is selected, then the following error is displayed:
************** Exception Text **************

If the emulator used NES, SNES, or N64 and was unpaused at the time this happens, then the emulator will also crash. If it does not crash, then additional bugs may occur upon loading a new ROM: After clicking the up arrow on the scrollbar or otherwise dragging the scroll bar down, then up to the top, then either the address "FFFFFF0" appears at the top, or else another error is thrown, at least in the case of N64:
System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
