Hi to all, I hope you can give me an explanation of the following problems.
I have a iBook @400 g3 128Mb ram, 8Mb video.
I run Mac OS X 1.3.9 (and I have Xtools 1.5). When I compile and run my program on my computer, it's all ok.
But when I run my programs on other Mac (specific a g5 with 1gb ram, ati radeon 9600), they crashes with many pages of error:


Questions:
1. is it possible that the error is caused by different OS versions (mine 1.3 the other 1.4)?
2. is it due to different CPU (g3 and g5 - 64bit)?
3. Is Xtool 1.5 still the right 'compiler tool'?
4. To packing the app I use a free tool: EasyDMG, I just drag&drop the folder with ALL the data required by the game+the application, and the program creates a .dmg file. It works perferctly. Do I miss something while packing the app?
5. finally - why some games have in their main folder a folder called __MacOSX? It's normal?

Thanks in advance, I hope to find a solution sooner. In the meanwhile I'm downloading Xtool 2.3 but I dont' know if it is a right solution

It seems to be saying it crashes on PlaySound. My guess is the problem is with a missing or corrupt audio file.

I would write a small program that verifies it can load a file from the dmg, image, sound or text and test that on the other machine before going any further.

Thank you!
Do you think the problem resides in the .dmg format?

I resolved with a standard .zip file...
