bluetooh hid joystick + mala crashes XP

[Yadrax]

Hi.
I´m installing a wiimote in my cabinet. The software that  I use is bluesoleil. Bluesoleil install drivers for many devices. One of this is a "bluetooh hid joystick", that is necessary to use wiimote with a program that Glovepie or Wiinremote. Well, if I run MALA  after that this driver is installed, a blue error screen appear so quickly and my computer reset directly.
I want to know if this happens to someone else and if it has a solution.
Thank you very much and I´m sorry but my english is so bad

Yadrax,

have you tried with another version of MALA?

Hi Empardopo.
I tried MALA 173 and 174 and in both is the same. Í will proves with any previous version.
 Thanks for the reply and the AllinOne. I´ve downloaded and I have in mind for a couple of things.
Y manda narices que hablemos los dos en espanglish siendo de la piel de toro!!

Pues tienes toda la razón, jeje!

I have no idea as I don't have a WiiMote to test and you have not posted any logs 

Have a look at the logs after you have put them into debg mode (options-help and credits)

Yadrax, take a look this link.

Thanks Empardopo, thanks Loadman.
No log file is created by Mala.
I`ve tried it on another computer and produces the same error. I think the problem is due to my device Buetooh. Next day I will buy another bluetooth device and I´ll try to see if it works.

No log file is created by Mala.

   If you enable it in the options - credits, help and logging tab it will.

File name mala.exe.log

Actually.....

There have been many puzzled by enabling mala logging, mainly how to enable disable and what the file name is. The file name issue is by default the file extension is hidden.

So I am going to change two things now for the new version.
1) Change it so Default logging is on by default. This will trigger a warning message on MaLa startup advising how to turn it off (if required)
2) Change the way the logging is named so it is obvious to all

Download the latest BETA

:-)

Thanks Loadman.
I will try latest Beta.
I have uploaded to YouTube a video in which we can see my problem.

The video has poor quality, I´m sorry.

Wow that's nasty.   :'(

Let me make the point that this is 'Windows' crashing here.  

MaLa itself I don't think has the power to crash Windows like that. It can crash itself ;-)

My best guess is MaLa is accessing the provided buggy 'low level blue-tooth driver' is causing this when it is accessed by MaLa. Sure, the bluetooth driver may work perfectly well in other apps but this bug might be triggered in scenario they have not counted on.

As I can say I can not really help you directly as I don't have this make / model / and driver of controller you have.

But

I do have some suggestions that you may like to try individually and in various combinations

* Try to download the latest driver for you device from the net
* I noticed you had two controllers. Try disconnecting the other before launching mala.
* Try using this tool ('joyid's) to make sure that the bluetooth is the first windows controller before you launch mala
http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_software/gadgets.htm#JoyIDs_Utility:
* try using it on another PC  (or have you done that already?)
* Use Glovepie or Wiinremote in different combos ?

Good Luck

Hi Loadman.
Thanks for your advice. I had already tried all those things but still the same error.
Now I`ve tried Mala 1.05 and works perfectly!
I think there must be something in Mala 1.73 and Mala 1.74 that causes the conflict.

Well MaLa itself can't crash Windows.

I can only assume that the BlueTooth driver doesn't like the newer Video Engine
