Bridge spamming errors

Kai Beginner Joined: 30 Mar 2012 Posts: 10

Guys can you help me please, cause my bridge is spamming errors like the malloc error it says can't malloc. Free memory i have tried v1 and v2 but the same error occurs and yes i have all plugins disables for GAMES.

I have read others' concern in this error. But any one of them don't have a solution. Or they?

Help me please and also thanks in advance.

Well when you run kai and bridge and play a game have you looked at your RAM because if your RAM is overloaded youll get this error, the malloc function cant allocate memory if it is full. What the malloc function does is allocating free memory to a running program in the RAM. Check the taskmanager register card performance. I would recommend you running kai and bridge without any unnecesarry software in the backround that consumes RAM. Autostart does consume much RAM so remove anything thats unnecesarry. Start run.exe and enter "msconfig" to get to the systemstartup.

Thanks, that helps alot but i'll have to try it tomorrow. I'll let you know when it works. I'm using a laptop actually to play online, it only have a memory of 480 MB, really low and no, i don't want to increase the memory.

Hey i have tried that out what have you said. The error is replaced with no memory really strange though. Don't really know why.

What have you done so far to decrease the RAM usage of your PC ? Could you post a pic of the bridge with the error ?

Here's the pic you requested.

Let me know if you need anymore information to fix this little or big problem of mine.

Update your libusb WinUSB bridge drivers. Google for "jjs.at lwbridge" and download the 0.2 version, start your bridge and drag and drop the libus0.dll thats in the bin folder onto the bridge. Download and replace your installed psp type b driver with the 1.2.2.0 one its on the same page. Youll have to update the driver manually with the inf file.

Okay, I did what you said . But I have a question, after dragging the libus0.dll to bridge, it will post it's location, after that what's next? I pressed enter but bridge closed. Oh and what do you wean with the manually update driver with the ini file and where can i find it?

Download the 1.2.2.0 Package from the site you googled. Unpack the files and save them. Next go to device manager and rightclick on the psp type b driver and click update driver (look for drivers on computer), you will be asked for an "inf" file. Open the inf file you downloaded via the explorer window that pops up and the driver will be installed. Heres a guide on how to deal with "inf" files--> http://www.troublefixers.com/manually-install-device-drivers-in-windows-using-inf-files/

Done! finished that manually installing driver. Recalling back from my previous post, after dragging the libus0.dll to bridge, it will post it's location, after that what's next? I pressed enter but bridge closed.

What i meant was just drag and drop the libusb0.dll onto the bridge symbol/icon (the exe file not when its open).Well your done now. Have you tried playing and checked if the error still occurs ?

I'll try it. You'll only do that once, that dragging?

Team XLink Moderator Joined: 27 Feb 2011 Posts: 1206

Yes just drag and drop it onto the bridge icon and youre done.

Yup it still occurs, but in the first two quests it does fine. The same error comes out. Except that error large data(recv from psp):238+198>390 is gone. Look at the pic, if you don't know what i'm talking about.

Does this error prevent you from playing at all do you dc or what happens ?

Kai Beginner Joined: 30 Mar 2012 Posts: 10

I can play, for a while. At the start of the quest everything is fine, after 5 or 10 minutes the error starts spamming, and that's when i dc.

Looks like to me you got a memory leak there are to possibilities where it could be. First one you have too little RAM try to run kai with really no other programs remove startup entries. Second update your router firmware. The thing with the memory leak is that allocated memory that programs reserve is not being de-allocated when used and not any longer necesarry by the program.
