Well, I've got it working, and it seems it was the PACKET area, though I
changed both the allocation of the memory method and what I was passing to
the function, so I can't be certain, but I think I was passing the wrong
pointer (thisGame.gpuPacket instead of thisGame.gpuPacket[0]). I also
changed the memory allocation to:

thisGame.gpuPacket[0] = (PACKET *)malloc(sizeof(PACKET)*maxPackets);
thisGame.gpuPacket[1] = (PACKET *)malloc(sizeof(PACKET)*maxPackets);

And inside the struct:

typedef struct
{
        ...
        PACKET *gpuPacket[2];
        ...
} rpGAMEINFO;

Anyway, I've got that working, so now I can start working on other stuff,
such as sound.

Thanks
Rikki
