Cen64 fails to load pifdata.bin on Windows

[Adamillo]

I recently decided to try out Cen64 today but it seems that Cen64 is having trouble in loading the pif file for whatever reason. I debugged this issue with gdb and this is all I get

[hcs64]

Besides what other issues you may be having, in gdb run takes the arguments to the program, not including the name of the program itself. So it should be run pifdata.bin ROM.z64.

Ah, I see. I'll see if that changes anything. But I can't do that right now, so I gotta do it later

@hcs64 what could be the issue that I'm having with?

Just dropping in to say it looks like you've built cen64 without debug symbols, so debugging is going to be quite a challenge.

Pass -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug to cmake for all the debug symbols and few optimizations. That will help you diagnose the issue.

It seems that I forgot to mention that building Cen64 from source solved the illegal instruction. The errors only seem to happen with pre compiled versions downloaded

What processor does your computer have? And what is the name of the binary you're trying to run? It sounds like you're trying to run binaries compiled for newer processors.

@sp1187 The CPU is an intel i5-7360U, and the binary I downloaded was from EmuCR
