hi im getting error in simulator but it works fine testing in browser. I cant test on hardware as mine didnt come yet. anyone know how to fix this? 02:07:59: SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty failed (122) (required size=560)

Update error: ?
attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value
stack traceback:
?: in upvalue '?'
?: in function <?:3743>
02:07:59: Update failed, simulator paused. im not sure what variable i have to fix theres no name mentioned plus i dont think i have a linecode 3743.. using pulp so I'm not to codey
So line 3743 refers to probably main.lua
When you download a PDX it actually converts the pulp JSON into a lua game. So you can go into the folder and open the main.lua or whatever else in a text editor to find the reference
i opened the main.pdz but tis just weird letters.. is this the same as main.lua? where can i find that thanks! Dropbox - main.pdz - Simplify your life
ah sorry. i forget that pulp has the main and other files converted to pdz. i was thinking of when i ran things through pulpmill and got a lua project. this won't be readable i believe. one other thing to check is to make sure the pdxinfo (which you can open in a text editor) has a proper pdxversion attached. i've had that issue throw a wrench in things. not sure if it's related here.
ok i checked that version=1.0
buildNumber=1
imagePath=card
pdxversion=11000
buildtime=747098836 ...versions build 1 is correct its version 1 which it says in actual pdxinfo. whats weird is it runs fine in the browser, but in simulator there's an error but im not sure how to get to the main.lua to even know what to fix. it seems to happen on cranking/a button...
If it launches fine then crashes on pressing a specific button or cranking, can you share the code for that event? Either confirm for the A button, cancel for the B button, or crank for the crank. Maybe there is something in the pulpscript we can spot 
rooms are numbered room1 room2 etc i took out confirm code and cancel code (which just plays a song) so it happens on crank. ok here's crank code:
on crank do
// crankTotal += event.ra
crankTotal += event.ra
roomnb = crankTotal
roomnb /= 180
// roomb =>5
roomnb = floor roomnb
room = "room{roomnb}"
goto 11,10 in "{room}"
end ...it works 100 percent in the online browser...
Not sure if that's the issue, but unless you have a "room-1" you should probably check for the roomnb to be >= 0 (or 1 if you don't have a "room0" either).
If we add some logging we should be able to see exactly what line it errors on and why:
on crank do
log "crankTotal: {crankTotal}"
log "event.ra: {event.ra}"
crankTotal += event.ra
log "crankTotal: {crankTotal}"
log "roomnb: {roomnb}"
roomnb = crankTotal
log "roomnb: {roomnb}"
roomnb /= 180
log "roomnb: {roomnb}"
roomnb = floor roomnb
log "roomnb: {roomnb}"
room = "room{roomnb}"
log "room: {room}"
goto 11,10 in "{room}"
end
Try that and share the simulator error again
ok i added a room0 and the log here is what it shows: 09:47:41: Loading: OK

Ok great, so we can see that the code in the crank event is running fine from the logs. I suspect it's actually something in an enter event when entering room3, start by checking the enter event in the room3 script if you have one!
Try to pinpoint where the error is by taking out the enter events as you did with the confirm and cancel events and by adding logging between each line so you can see exactly which line causes the error.
yes! Thank you! Somehow the picture showing is causin the error! Im going to rework the 2 levels and release this game! Anyone that already commented here message me and ill send you the game ok thanks all!!!!!
