I just installed Beta 307 on a Windows XP AMD 2.0GHz/1GB system. When starting the emulator I get an error message:
','','home.comcast.net/~guenther.froehlin/pictures/freeaxp').'.jpg\') '
Bummer!
I don't see a logfile in "My Documents" where the .cfg file is located.
Any ideas where to look for the cause of this error?
Thanks,
Guenther |

Does the system contain dual cpus, or have a dual core processor ? FreeAXP needs a machine with two core/cpus to run.

There should be a section of code like this in your configuration file which defines the log file:
cp = control
{
cp_log = logfile
{
filename = "C:\Users\Public\Documents\test.log";
}
Where test is the configuration file name. If the line is present and no log file is being created, the problem occurs very early in the FreeAXP startup. Like John suggested, dual CPUs, a dual-core CPU, or a hyperthreaded CPU is required to run FreeAXP. The next release will provide a more informative error message.

Installed on an Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz system and it worked. This now is a hyper-threaded CPU.
