it's working!

so all I have to do after all, is delete the corrupted raw file, and replace it with the fixed .gci file.

thanks guys!

Another issue is the menu window glitch. This happened after I finished zone 2. whenever I go to the menu screen to check my items, letters, equipments etc. a warning prompts showing error codes after menu is closed to resume the game, codes such as:

Invalid read from 0x3edc688c, PC = 0x8001e054
Invalid read from 0x3edc688e, PC = 0x8001dfdc
Invalid read from 0x3edc6892, PC = 0x8001dfdc
Invalid read from 0x3edc689a, PC = 0x8001e010
Invalid read from 0x3edc688c, PC = 0x8001e038
Invalid read from 0x3edc689a, PC = 0x8001e054
Invalid read from 0x3edc6892, PC = 0x8001e054

after i press "Ok" to these warnings, the game doesn't crash, but whenever a menu window is opened, this always happens when I return to the game. sure I can still play the game since it doesn't crash, but seeing these error codes everytime is very frustrating.

please help, to those who encountered these problems and found a solution to it.

This is one of the most common unsolved issues I've seen for Crystal Chronicles. It also happens when you talk to certain NPCs in Alfitaria. Has anyone found a solution to this yet? I have something really special planned for this game, but I can't go through with it since this crash happens so frequently it's nigh-impossible to play :C

What happens if you turn off panic handlers? It doesn't sound like fatal issues.

Well, I did as you said and promptly talked to every shopkeep and NPC in the town this bug happened in. It seems to have worked! Thank you so very much! I'm still doing a very thorough playthrough because I act on my plans, so i'll be returning here if anything goes awry!

I can't reproduce those panic handler dialogs here. I've talked to every NPC in Alfitaria and saw no panic dialog─I'm using the PAL version of the game though.
Have you verified your ISO isn't corrupt?

There's a bad dump of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles floating around the net; maybe that's the issue? Maybe the disc is really sensitive to issues/scratches while dumping as well. I know certain games I dump will have difficulty getting dumped properly; where as other games can be scuffed all to hell and still work.

Hey guys I was curious if anyone has ever gotten this game to work over netplay?

Back again with another error, and I can't tell if it's the game or Dolphin itself!

So after clearing a few dungeons, I decided to save. But the data I was going to save for didn't show up! I decided it was no big deal and just saved in the first slot. Dolphin told me the data had saved and everything, but when I started up the emulator today the only file I could access was the data that was supposedly gone!

I know I can probably make due with save states, but I'd like to know if this is a problem that can be fixed!

Try swapping to another memory card: some games refuse to save if you have a save from the "future" aka, mixing savestates + memcards can cause that.

the game does not refuse to save, it just saves to a different file (with a different header). I posted a way to fix those corrupted save files with a hex editor a few pages ago, but unfortunately I don't know how to avoid the glitch in the first place (except not going to the dungeons that cause it).
I tested it quite a bit some time ago, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with savestates. It also only happens after certain dungeons (Goblin Cave most commonly, sometims also Selepation).
