Description
Using latest beta5 and playing _german_ version of the "The Dig" using a PSP 1.0, I have a blue-screen crash at the beginning of the game where "Commander Low" and two other crew members first go down into the asteriod and detect the alien metal plates.
I get this info:
Execption: Bus error (data) EPC: 08B9987C Cause: 1C Status: 20008603 BadVAddr 0000000
Thanks for a fix.

Load the provided savegame and continue with gameplay by clicking on the "stones" and the "metal plate" to trigger the next dialog sequence. Game crashes at end of this sequence with indicated error.
__BUT__: It's not 100% reproduceable (sorry!). I tried this multiple times, and crash happens only sometimes - perhaps when some sound "artifacts" are audible.

Sorry, never tried ScummVM on native windows to verify this crash. Should I?

Sorry, but I cannot load my PSP savegame from PSP beta5 into the windows binary of ScummVM version 0.7.1...
But the crash in the PSP version is still there: Using the provided savegame, just try to examine the "metal plate" and al things around again and again (mutiple times). In this situation, I get this blue-screen crash.
From my windows programming experience: Isn't there any stack frame (debug version?) for further inspection?

I don't own a large enough memory stick to run The Dig at the moment so I haven't tried reproducing it with my english version yet.
The PSP version is based on current 0.8.0CVS source, so the savegame won't work with 0.7.1. You can, however, download a CVS build for windows from the downloads page that should load the PSP savegames just fine.
Note that you should always verify bugs against the CVS version of ScummVM. The reason I want you to do this is to find out if it's my responsibility or that of the SCUMM engine maintainer(s).
Btw, I did play around with a demo version of The Dig but couldn't get that one to crash.

Issue was not reproducable on win32 verson.
Anyways, this seems to be related to audio issues. For example, if frame rate drops, audio begins to stutter. Then, chances are high that one of the two cases happen: (1) I get the mentioned blue-screen crash (2) Game hangs (new observation)
Especially case (2) reminds me to a programming issues where audio buffers run dry and get not refilled in time, becasue of lost/missing timing/interrupts etc. pp.
But this stuttering is still in the game.
Sorry, for not getting more details about this.

Interesting...
Can you please try this unstripped build, and give me the details from the exception screen when it crashes? http://0x.7fc1.org/psp/scummvm/EBOOT.PBP

Ok, after discussion, I'm lowering priority for it. Problem is that joostp doesn't have the game so that can't be fixed in nearest future.

Closing due to a lack of response of the submitter and the inability for me to reproduce it here with the English version and latest ScummVM source, that old 'beta5' version was flawed in many ways.
If the bug still exists we can always re-open it.
I haven't played The Dig much, please provide some more details on reproducing and possibly a savegame.
Also, have you verified it doesn't happen with a daily snapshot build on windows / your OS of choice?
