For a while Dolphin would work just fine. Load any game, any way, from any drive. The games ran flawlessly. It was fantastic.
At some point, after I had messed with the settings a little, Dolphin would no longer load Wii games. The first time it did this was when I changed the DSP plugin from HLE to LLE. I changed it back, but that didn't fix anything. I can still load up and play GameCube games, as far as I am aware, but Wii games, any Wii game with any settings, will not boot. The whole scenario is very unnerving. I have done my best to reset every setting back to its original place without any results.
I am on Arch Linux, so I clone and built the latest git version just about every day through the Arch User Repositor. In Arch's official community repository there is a much older version of Dolphin 3.5 (I think it's 3.5-6, but it could be wrong and I could be wrong, I haven't really checked. The AUR version is listed wrong, although it clones from git, so it's always the latest.) When I replace my latest install with the older version in Arch's official repos, Wii games start to work again. I wouldn't mind using this older version, and I accept that it's older and some issues don't exist anymore, but it lacks many features and I like some of those new bells and whistles.
When I use the older version of Dolphin, an error window show: "iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile." I've looked up this error, and I don't think it's a problem with Dolphin itself, but I think it could be indicative of an issue I created. I think there is something wrong with my settings file, but my issue is that I'm not totally sure where it is. I thought I found it and deleted it, but all of the settings stayed the same, so then I deleted everything and that both solved and changed nothing. I might be right, but I'm probably totally wrong.
I am using Arch Linux x86_64 and I'll list my specs (if they're needed):
Core i5 750
Nvidia GTX 460
Corsair DDR3 RAM, 4GB
My OS itself has no version number, in case anyone asks. Arch Linux is a rolling release platform, which means it is always up-to-date, in the same way Dolphin is developed (except it's an OS and not an emulator.)
