[Known/Fixed] ActiveMovie Window

Recommended Posts

Hello all. Im not sure if this is the right place to be posting this, or if its already been done, but i figured the mods can move it to where they think it should go or delete it if they see it as redundant.

 

So I noticed a couple of people tend to get Active Movie Window pop ups,(including myself) and I've seen everyone on this site just say its a media player that the person had downloaded, but most of the time its not the correct fix. After re-downloading the game, on a different computer, after a long hiatus from rom hacks, I still got the same pop up/slowdown/crash. So i finally sat down and hashed it out. Turns out it's the music files. Basically when the windows pops up, it means the computer is meeting a sound file its not happy with.  In my case it was happening whenever i won a battle, so i went into the audio files and looked over victory music. When clicked on, everything worked fine, but after some trial and error of removing sound files and running the game, to narrow down what audio file it was, turns out the sound file named "Victory!" was causing the issue and the computer did not like the exclamation mark, So i renamed it, (or you could just remove it if you want) and everything worked beautifully. I was able to play the game again! Now from what I've read, the ActiveMovie Crash happens in a lot of different locations so the fix is just trial and error finding the audio file thats suppose to play during the crash, and either renaming or removing it.  

I hope this helps anyone in the future who has this issue.
