Game just suddenly stops progressing

10-23-2017, 11:15 AM #1

I was playing a Gamecube game, and then the game simply stopped progressing. The game didn't freeze, stop or crash. A character just finished his line of dialogue and then nothing happened. The sprites kept moving, everything looked normal. I waited for 15 minutes to no avail. Is this a usual problem? Is this a problem with the game (and thus I should take my question elsewhere)? I just don't know what to do.

Also, if I broke any rules by making this post, please tell me so I can correct myself. And thank you.

What game where you playing? Have you tried the latest development version of dolphin?

I was playing Paper Mario, Thousand Year Door. I'm using Dolphin 5.0. What confuses me most is that my friend that gave me the ROM was much farther into the game then me, he gave me the ROM via Flash Drive and then I try to play it. It's the same file, but I can't get 15 minutes into the game without Dr. Gooba (I think it's actually Dr. Woom or something) saying "I'll bet you didn't know this came off!" and then... he doesn't do anything. The board doesn't come off. Game over.

I've tried everything I could think of to make it work. I started the game over, I changed my controls, I made the game in a different save slot. Nothing worked, it just always stopped at that same dumb cutscene. Please help!
