Dolphin Crashing

08-13-2015, 07:11 AM #1

I downloaded Dolphin not too long ago so I would be able to play Paper Mario TTYD on my laptop. Dolphin downloaded fine and starts up fine but it crashes with the "Dolphin.exe stopped working" and forces me to close it. It happens randomly about every 2-30 minutes and the game doesn't have to be running for dolphin to crash. It crashes whether the game is running or not. The only game I tried is TTYD. The game itself seems to runs fine. I looked at other threads that had similar issues and I tried switching from XAudio2 to OpenAl and the graphics backend is OpenGl but it doesn't make a difference. I also tried downloading the older stable version of dolphin and it still crashes. I've tried to change most of the config settings that people say makes it stop crashing and it doesn't work. I saw a suggestion to go back to Windows 7 or 8 for it to work but I don't want to do that unless its certain that I have to. I tried to upload a dump file but it said it was too big to attach... I'm not sure what to do.

CPU: Intel i7-4510U @ 2.0 GHz

Downloading games is against the forums rules. Its probably a bad dump anyways. The only way to get a good dump legally is to rip from your own disk

I found the wording a bit weird, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and left it alone. Either way, this topic might get closed so try the absolute latest version of Dolphin, verify your game dump, and upgrade your graphics card drivers. (Intel's drivers are a bit iffy with Windows 10 right now... You may want to revert back to your previous OS.)

The OP was probably talking about downloading Dolphin, not the game. Although the sentence is confusing since the nearest antecedent of "it" would be PM:TTYD. But sounds like a bad dump. An MD5 hash of the game will help verify that.

Edited for clarity.
The game starts and runs well but Dolphin itself keeps closing randomly. I'll try the newest version of Dolphin, but so far the versions don't make a difference, so maybe I will revert back to Windows 8 if that doesn't work.
