v1.9.1
808dd16

Adds Startup and Crash Diagnostics, a bundled mod that is disabled by default. Enable it under Mods → Developer before PLAY to capture startup and session evidence. Windows unhandled crashes also attempt a small minidump.

To report a silent PLAY crash:

  1. Extract the Windows game archive, open Mods, and enable Startup and Crash Diagnostics.
  2. Click PLAY and reproduce the problem once.
  3. Share the newest .log and matching .dmp, if present, from diagnostics beside the executable. Include your Windows version, GPU, ROM revision, enabled mods, and whether you updated an existing folder.
  4. Disable the mod after testing. Logs and dumps stay local and may contain paths and process information; review before sharing.

Read-only installations fall back to %LOCALAPPDATA%\NESRecomp\diagnostics. The symbols archive is for maintainers analyzing dumps; normal play only needs the game archive.

This release also displays error dialogs for ordinary ROM, SDL, and renderer startup failures. It does not claim to fix the still-unconfirmed cause of the reported v1.9.0 PLAY crash.

Validation: access-violation, abort and stack-overflow dumps; first-enable and persisted diagnostics; default-off behavior and output redirection; extracted-archive startup and exact matching PDB; identical 600-frame guest hashes against published v1.9.0 with logging off/on; stock, diorama, first-person and HD native/interpreter and save-state replay checks over 3,000-frame routes. No new full-game, Linux or macOS qualification is claimed.

The cycle CPU, original USA PRG0 ROM requirement, voxel modes and modern HD Mods workflow remain as in v1.9.0. No ROM, third-party HD art, settings, saves or personal diagnostic files are distributed.
