Emulating action replay

Apologies for posting so much, but now I'm having an issue emulating action replay. First, it was just freezing after bios ended. If I set it to skip bios, dolphin would instantly crash. I changed some options under core in gameconfig, and I now get the error "FIFO is overflowed by GatherPipe! CPU thread is too fast!"

The fix for this was something about watermark tightness, but I can not find this option. (EDIT: apparently this option was made obsolete some time ago)

If I disable dual core, I get this followed by this. Action replay then boots normally, but then freezes here

Since I said I edited gameconfig settings, I figured I should show what settings I ended with

If I enable software rendering, I get the error "GFX: Unknown Opcode (0x1)" but without any of the "this means one of the following" text I got with the other two graphics rendering methods. Action replay also seems to work, but it also runs at like 20% speed.

Change all of the settings in this screen back to how they were by default:

Next, in the Dolphin options, change this setting:

Options > GameCube > Slot B > Memory Card

You should get the Action Replay menu after that.

I deleted the ini file for action replay in \Documents\Dolphin Emulator\GameSettings\, which set everything undetermined. I'm not sure if there are specific settings you want me to use that I may have changed in dolphin itself, but I think they're all default.

I've had a memory card in slot B since the start.

I get a buzzing sound in bios, which I believe is caused by the HLE emulation, and then dolphin hangs at the end of bios. Disabling bios causes dolphin to crash as soon as I try to launch action replay.

While Dolphin is hanging after the BIOS animation, change the Slot B device to "<Nothing>" and then back to "Memory Card".

Nothing. I tried it with and without a memory card in slot A as well. I also tried it with no memory cards whatsoever and then adding a memory card in B while it was hanging.

Also tried it while it was hanging after action replay had launched.
