Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (NTSC)

Gamespot
* Tried-and-true gameplay is a great blend of strategy and role-playing
* Riveting, richly woven storyline will hook you and keep you immersed
* Lengthy journey spans 30 hours or more--multiple difficulty settings, too
* Beautiful soundtrack hits all the right notes.

Problems with Game
Videos fail to run in OpenGl. They do run in DirectX plugin but the direct x crashes alot once you get into battle. There are also reports that the game has alot of freezes once you get around Chapters 11-the end. I cannot verify this yet but this has been posted in the forum 3 times where dolphin locks and crashes at random spots in that area of chapters. I personally have gone to chapter 13 without error thus far. Music sometimes goes out but comes back on after a fight scene. Reports stated in forum can be found at

Dx plugin works better on newest svns such as 4700 series. Still some random crashes but overall runs well. The chapter 21-26 error did not happen either. Dx plugin plays in game videos work fullspeed as well.

Am playing this game now. On r5081 it was flawless until chapter 13, problems other people already described all around forum(like freezing). Unchecking "Idle skipping" made that chapter sometimes works, random.
With r5135 I was able to continue without problem although it still corrupt save if saved in battle(its ok in management screen). I will update this as I play, if r5135 helped hopefully I'll be able to complete it. Btw yes r4586 worked too.

EDIT: Indeed, infamous chapter 17. Even r5135 still freeze it, back to r4586.

EDIT2: So I started play with r4586 again today(from ch 17) and.. this time management window didn't appeared. Restarted and
again nothing. Restarted once more and... ....it worked.
Ok so I fired r5135 and guess what, it worked! It seems as if you would have to
restart(stop/start from emulator) game few times before it work properly. It also seems
that it isn't revision specific, maybe in r4586 its just less chance to trigger bad.

EDIT3: Just finished game on r5135. Somewhere around ch 20 I couldn't load savegame even into management screen, display stayed black however fps didn't dropped to 0. U used save states since then. So... thats it.

Save file corruption.
Game freezing up in certain conversations.
Game freezing up after Chapter 24 when trying to level up during base management

Used Dolphin 2.0, has any of these problems been fixed in any recent SVN?

I've had constant crashing as well starting Chapter 13. I've gone through multiple revisions, trying to get it to work. Going from default settings for graphics, is there anything I could change that would fix this?

My computer specs are Intel Core 2 Quad Cpu 2.40Ghz with 3.00 GB of ram, 32 bit OS Windows 7, and a NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GTX.

Is this game truly "Perfect"?
It seems the farther you proceed into the game, more and more it begins to break.
Such as random crashing while using base management or when trying to trade items during combat.

Excellent game, my first Fire Emblem. Put a lot of hours in it and it's pretty addictive. Like the sequal a lot, even if it doesn't have Mii-support.
