Unsurpassable crash in Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck

[Sam-Underscore]

On the minigame collection Looney Tunes Duck Amuck, there is one minigame where you are supposed to let daffy get up to the top with dynamite so he blows up. Linked here is a video of the game in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDMwx1qyax4&list=PLkUY_WDwmS8FDyeOaEfYRgJCjYeFPBevk&index=5

Unfortunately, the game just freezes or crashes (it's hard to tell because the screen is already black) and you can't beat the minigame.

I'm trying to TAS the game, and I can't go on while this is an issue. Thanks for reading this message, and I hope for the best in efforts to fix the bug!

might work with this pr? #2235

Could you post a savegame with the minigame 'Dimswitch Daffy' already unlocked? I tried waiting for it to appear randomly but got tired of waiting.

You must be using Bizhawk for the TAS, correct?

Hey, sorry it's been so long. I've just now gotten around to trying to download it. I'm pretty unfamiliar with GitHub, but I think I am close to getting it downloaded. Just need to know: What branch does it download to?

(If that question makes no sense just let me know, I have spent the last 30 minutes downloading things and confusedly asking chat gpt how to use GitHub Cli)

oh you can just download an actions build
windows: https://github.com/melonDS-emu/melonDS/actions/runs/12848196191

If it still doesnt work on that build, you can share the savefile so we can do more testing on different builds/configurations

completely different game (pokemon volt white 2 redux), but i have a similar problem: after beating gym 7, you're supposed to visit the leader's house, but the game freezes/crashes on the way there (might be trying to play a cutscene?) and its always the same place. i've tried using a fresh rom but nothing, but after a bit i had the idea to try loading my save of storm silver and it does the same thing, although right after the title screen (i tried the build linked here, it didnt work)
here's the saves if needed: volt white 2 redux, storm silver

It is unlikely to be related (at most maybe both some ARM9 timing problem). Also with hacked ROMs I would never be sure, unless tested on real hardware.

Thanks so much, just tried it out and it totally fixed the problem! Is there any way to get this version of melonDS running through BizHawk so I could continue the TAS?
