Dolphin Not Responding Upon Opening

[colingleason805]

Hey all,

I'm having trouble running Dolphin. Until today, Dolphin opened and ran SSBM without any issues. However, it has stopped working entirely. When I click the application icon, the menu bar at the top of the screen appears. The OSX loading icon(spinning color ball) appears whenever the bar is hovered on. In Activity Monitor, the RAM usage steadily increases every 5 seconds. It does not appear to stop independently. I will Force Quit the application to stop the increased RAM usage.

I have tried re-downloading multiple different builds all with the same results. All other applications on my computer seem to be operating normally.

I'm running the latest version of El Cap. I also recently installed jackoalan's .kext file to allow my GameCube adapter to work (https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/attachment.php?aid=13485).

Any help would be appreciated, even if it is to tell me I've f*cked my OS up haha.

Thanks,
Colin

Not an OS X user so I don't know anything about it… but, did it work before you installed the kernel extension? In other words, did it break after installing the kext?
