KI2 & MAME32 0.88u6 crash problems

[Crazy Chris]

Hi all.

I seem to be having a problem running Killer Instinct 2 on MAME32 0.88u6.  The game seems to crash and drop back into MAME32 when several of the following conditions are met:

Camera pans in on a stage in which Jago has been selected as P1.  This results in a crash before the match begins.

Camera pans in on system attract mode in which Jago is P1 character.  For some reason the game also crashes here.

I haven't really experienced any other crashes, although there's been some slight sound-skipping in matches...  any hints or helpful information would be greatly appreciated.  Sytems specs are as follows:

Sony VAIO Laptop, PCG-GRT170
Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz processor
768 MB PC2100 DDRRAM
60.0 GB Hitachi 5400 RPM hard disk (IDE)
NVidia GeForceFX Go5600 w/ 64 MB
Creative Labs SoundBlaster Extigy (USB connected)

I don't know if it would matter; I don't see why it should, but I'm running a customized driver from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com 56.64 version. I've also got NView turned on and set to Clone so I can output the screen to my 32" TV.  I don't see how that could possibly affect emulation, but who knows...

This isn't the type of thing we can help with here.  go over to mametesters, see if the bug is reported, and if not report it.  With any luck it could be fixed in future builds.
