Games which hang / freeze / crash / don't boot at all

[StripTheSoul]

fabry92 & jin12: Guys...please read what this thread is about...only games that don't work at all...where there's no graphics nor sounds from the beginning...
Those two games both don't fit these criteria...
If we list all games here that have a black or white screen at some time (especially if it can even be fixed by using the right settings) it'll break the purpose of this thread which is to eventually find some kind of connection between these games and thus figure out how to fix 'em

Everywhere I read "using the right settings", but what are the right ones?
Does a list exist or is it posted somewhere (if yes, then where?)?

Also, this is not the kind of black screen status that this thread is about. sound playing means the game is running, just not showing. This thread is about not running at all (or only with software renderer or LLE plugin which can not be called playable)

I simply looked for "black screen".
But how should I get it working.
Like I wrote before, I'm still using standard settings.
Any idea (or knowing a setting-list for that game)?

second edit:
The only thing that doesn't fit to my problem is that I have around 60 FPS (but only black screen)

Toshinden does seem to work: http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/thread-5820.html
So I'll remove it from the list.

@ raptorxp: Hm, I checked it and you're right; Sonic Unleashed is absolutely black...strange and rather new issue...
There is, however, still a big difference to those games I'm collecting here: It's running...there's sound and actually things happening (also shown by the FPS)...in these other games, there's NOTHING.

Unfortunately there isn't just a place to look up all the settings for all the games...there are, however, threads for almost every game out there...a lot of them you can find through the "Game Index- Reborn"-thread...for others, use advanced search, click "search titles only" and search for your game...there you'll see if any good settings for the game are known or if it doesn't work at all...

Madagascar Kartz works with Software Renderer only

[Concerto]

mmmh nosound are u sure?
I was playing Madagascar Kartz with OGL and D3D in some recent dolphin build (clear, without hacks). If now isn't working again, I don't know, now I can't prove (i'm not at home).

Thanks, found the reason why it didn't work on my PC:
Like shown in this thread it didn't work for me, but after changing the "Projection Hack..." -setting under Properties of the listed Game in Dolphin (and not in the config of the Program), it runs normal.

[StripTheSoul]

ah yeah, it needed the Zelda Bloom hack, alright...
In the OpenGL plugin you can change it directly, in DX9 plugin you gotta go per game properties

I hope those game have a "connected" problem,
maybe fixing it will fix most of the games that having that black screen problem.

[StripTheSoul]

that's the idea

I also vote for this to get stickied, at least for awhile until it becomes obsolete.
