On the 5.0-17269 beta, I did a clean install of everything because I hadn't used Dolphin since updating my computer a year or so ago. Upon launching the emulator for the first time everything seemed fine until I tried to launch Mario Kart Wii where the emulator would freeze after a second and crash. Upon trying to reopen Dolphin after this, Dolphin also immediately crashes and wont let me do anything until I completely delete all files located in the Dolphin Emulator folder in Documents. After deleting all these files I would be able to properly launch Dolphin but was still unable to launch MKWii or any other Wii games.
As a last resort I tried redownloading and installing the "64-bit Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2022" which let me get a lot further and actually let me launch the game but after downloading a friends controller binds for Xbox and trying to put them in the right folder for Dolphin to read and restarting the emulator it immediately started acting up again and crashing.
At this point I'm at a complete loss as to what is wrong and would appreciate any help.
