Oddity with Mario Kart and my headset

So I nabbed myself a more recent build of dolphin and decided that I wanted to play some freakin Mario Kart

Alrighty, put my disc into the Wii and dump it to the attached HDD and off I run to my PC to enjoy it in HD. Dolphin, however, had other ideas. It thought I'd gain more enjoyment by repetitively toggling my headset's surround sound mode on/off until I kill it via Task Manager

Thinking it was a bad rip, I tried again and got the same result. Thinking it was my disc, I went and borrowed my friend's (promptly returned it afterward) and still got the same thing.. At this point I'm thinking something weird is going on with Dolphin itself and I'm not going insane

I've even tried switching between HLE and LLE, both have the same thing happen upon running MK

My headset is a Plantronics GameCom 780, for reference

EDIT: Also the issue occurs if I have "continuous scanning" on and am looking at the Wiimote settings

Does the game slows down while playing?

I wouldn't know, the game refuses to actually boot up. I'm stuck staring at a black screen as my headset toggles indefinitely

Right, this time I ran it with the logger open and it spat this at me

Spoiler: (Show Spoiler)

Is this bad or just some ignorable crud (it's also weird considering I'm using LLE because HLE is having some serious crackling issues for me on 2135)? This is what I'm getting for the MD5 for the rip, btw: bb7f2c926cbcdee65e2a48b7002a52ea.. forgot to mention that just in case my rips are at fault

It´s actually a bad dump. Try redumping the game from disc again. Then try the new dump and tell what happens.

Alright, apologies for the long pause.. I had some other things to take care of (as well as transferring to a different city).

So my MK disk works just fine on the Wii, just had to make sure of that.

I've tried this fresh dump in both wbfs format and ISO format, MD5s being a5ffefa4c7a286df1e4229c68caf3e90 and 730348bb76a9ec47f7bf4e5e16fe30cb respectively (with none of those having any search results on google..) and neither of them work.

I've also just now tried on build 2233, issue still persists

I don't think it's my Wii or external HDD I use with it (but could very well be).. I've recently dumped Kirby Air Ride, Chibi Robo, and Xenoblade and they work fine

EDIT: I also got Dolphin to quit messing with my headset's stuff by disabling Continuous Scanning

EDIT 2: alright, literally no copy of MK I can get my hands on works. What the hell is this..?

Alright, this can be closed now..

Apparently having "Enable Cheats" checked was preventing the game from booting for some odd reason

Were you trying to use gekko codes? (I assume you were trying MK: DD)

**JMC47** · 07-23-2014, 04:26 AM #9

Gecko Codes are very iffy right now. Would not recommend using them.

TehGuy · 07-23-2014, 06:29 AM **#10**

No codes were being used at all; I made sure of that beforehand

This was Mario Kart Wii
