So just the other day I discovered that I could use PocketFrog to compile to x86 and run the sample apps right on my desktop (not in the emulator) - that is totally sweet! So I tried compiling the game I was working on to run on my desktop, and it worked fine - but the game crashes early in the initialization state (the debugger always stops at the prototype for SetMask - saying it's an access violation) This makes no sense to me at all. I don't really know where to start on fixing this - what kind of things will run ok on a PPC but not on a desktop? My game doesn't use any other third party libs or STL or anything complicated.
I thought about the possibility that the bug exists in both the PPC and x86 compiled code, and only asserts itself on the x86 - but this seems very unlikely given that it crashes only five or six lines into my GameInit routine - which does nothing more than load some textures. I have an inkling it might have something to do with LoadImage - but I don't know. Any suggestions?
