Hi there. I've been using dolphin since about 2005, but the past 5 years or so I've not really been able to use any version past 3.0-420-gbea635d
I get an instant crash whenever I boot.
If I boot, escape, boot, escape, boot escape 100s of times eventually I will be able to get it to stay up for 10 seconds and if I can do that I can quickly boot a game and then it won't crash. But I'm talking.. it literally takes 5 minutes of booting hundreds of times to not crash long enough to load a game.
Particularly, now that FM and Slippi have branched off a faulty verison, no mod of Dolphin will work for me at all, nor will the main version.
Sometimes it's StackHash_ded1
c0000374 (offset 00000000000bffc2)
When I debug in VS I get Unhandled Exception 0x76fcffc2 in Dolphin.exe 0xC0000374: A heap has been corrupted.
In the call stack ntdll.dll is throwing the error. (I don't know assembly and I think this is useless to you but it's 0000000076FCFFC2 jmp 0000000076FCFFC4)
I also get c0000005.
I have put this off for years because I've been googling, literally once every couple months for the past 5 years and I always land on "It's probably a faulty hardware configuration". It really isn't. Old builds were stable. I've been running this rig for 9 years. At this point I have completely swapped out the RAM, I've swapped out the GPU.
So the only possibility is that, i2500k, one of the most profilic CPUs of the early 2010s is incompatible with new dolphin, or I have some kind of software driver hell issue (I have reinstalled all my redistributables many times. In the past I realised at some point dolphin was hooking onto the wrong version of ntdll, one from program files from the Skype folder?!?! at this point I've wiped all versions of it that aren't in system32, syswow64 or winsxs. Maybe it's grabbing some broken one from my old winsxs amd folders or something?
I don't understand what on earth could be causing this issue. My CPU is extremely stable, I've not had BSOD in years, maybe 3 times ever in the past decade. And likewise, old dolphin works fine. But for netplay I need to use the ones that branch off new dolphin.
Is there any salvation?
