All Games Show Only Purple Screen

[Burningocean2012]

I have tried changing all graphics options to no avail,all gamecube and wii games show only a purple screen when started.It all started with a build released just a few days ago,forget the build number since I assumed it'd work again when I updated later.

If you place a text file named "portable" (so portable.txt) next to Dolphin's exe, and then run a game, do you still get the purple screen issue?

Already using portable.txt because it fixed my saving issue I once had

...ok, well, please rename the user folder to something else and then try again please.

Now it works alright,what do I do now?What about all the stuff I have in the user folder?Will game saves stil work?

That confirms there is a problem with your configuration. If you don't mind a settings reset, you can copy your saves to the new user folder by copying the GC and Wii folders. That would probably be easier than hunting down the precise setting that was causing this.

But if you do want to find out what happened, you could turn on one by one each changed setting you have in the screenshots, and see if any of the specific settings result in the issue.

Well for now I'll just accept a settings reset.But I think I'll keep a copy of the folder and find out what caused it another time.Thank you for your help.

I suggest to create a backup and then deleting the GFX.ini in the Config folder. There's at least one graphics option that you can get somehow, that is not changeable through the GUI:
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10917

If enabling "Immediately Present XFB" or "Enable Progressive Scan" fixes the problem, your problem might be exactly the problem from the report.

If you don't care about 100% accurate graphics emulation, i recommend enabling "Immediately Present XFB" anyways, since it might display things earlier. And for performance, i recommend setting the texture cache to fast. If a game requires a slower texture cache setting, Dolphin should overwrite your setting automatically.
