Pokemon: Gale of Darkness randomly freezing

[AssumingUnicorn]

Hi! I've only started to use Dolphin for 2 days now and it's pretty fun! All the nostalgic games I had from my Gamecube are back to life! Anywho, I got a problem!

I recently got Pokemon: Gale of Darkness and I've played the game for a few days now, but the problem hasn't really bugged me until now when I was trying to capture a shadow Pokemon and it froze. I tried to Google the code that is presented in the error, but I haven't had any good results with that either.

Attached are 3 files; "error 1" is the first of the two messages I get when my game goes haywire on me and "error 2" being the second. "Error 3" is just the settings I used but I just wanted it to go along with the theme of errors.

The error pops up after every few hours I start Dolphin.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with a AMD Phenom II X4 965 Quad Core Processor at about 3.4GHz with 8GB of RAM and a AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series graphics card.
If there's any more info needed I'll be happy to add them.

Next time try to post into the official game thread http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-gc-pok%C3%A9mon-xd-gale-of-darkness--26142 .

For your issue try to do what's suggested in the first error message: try to disable Dual Core

3.5-367 is not the latest revision, you got Dolphin from the wrong website. This is the right website: http://dolphin-emu.org/download/

I just tried it on the stable 3.5 Dolphin and it still gave me problems. After that, I tried it on the dev version 3.5-518 and the problem occurs as well.

3 things you can try:
- disable Panic Handlers
- use Dolphin 3.0
- redump your game

Maybe try the FIFO-BP branch build:

http://dl.dolphin-emu.org/builds/dolphin-FIFO-BP-3.5-522-x64.7z
http://dl.dolphin-emu.org/builds/dolphin-FIFO-BP-3.5-522-x86.7z

Would you please zip and attach your memory card with instructions on how to reproduce the error? I'd like to see the error on my pc.

[AssumingUnicorn]

Are there simple instructions on how to redump somewhere?

@skid , I'll be testing out the FIFO-BP build.

Attached are the 2 memory cards but the one my save file gets saved to is USA.

Also, the error comes up randomly. I first encountered it when my speed dropped down to 70% and it was sitting there for a while because of the area I was in. The next time it happened was during the screen shot I provided where my speed was 100% for a while during the battle and it was 100% when I received the error. At times I walk around the error occurs so there's no possible way to "conjure" this error that I know of.

If you still get the error in the FIFO-BP build, you might try right clicking the game in the game list and going to the properties and checking "Synchronise GPU".

I'll give your save game a try later.

dump = a copy of your disc

Is "Synchronize GPU" a specific option to FIFO-BP builds? I couldn't see it even in very latest builds
