AudioMixer Crashing Exult 1.5 on 2006 MacBook

Post by BugRat »

Just purchased U7 through GOG and followed the Exult installation instruction in documentation. It looks like Exult has a problem with some of the hardware on my 2006 MacBook Pro.

When I try to launch Exult 1.5 crashes at the Creating AudioMixer step.

I was able to start U7 using the GOG install and the game seems to start normally including sound.

System Details:
MacBook Pro 1,2
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz 2GB RAM
ATI Radeon X1600 256 MB VRAM
Intel High Definition Audio

Error from Console Output:
[0x0-0xd00d].net.sourceforge.exult[149] Creating AudioMixer...
com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[105] ([0x0-0xd00d].net.sourceforge.exult[149]) Job appears to have crashed: Bus error

When I start Exult in the terminal I get the following log:

Please right click the exult.app and choose to run it as ppc, it should work then without any problem for now. I'll see if I can find a cure some other time.
