EDIT: nvm, your video wasn't working for me at first. I see your settings now.

Haven't gotten around to getting PM:TTYD on Dolphin yet, but do have a look at the Dolphin Wiki entry for this game. See if any of that info is useful to you. You might want to redump your game as well, just to be sure it's not a problem with your ISO. I think a lot of people have reported this game crashing randomly, not certain there's an exact fix for it though.

What are your Dolphin settings? Click on the Config button and look at the General tab. Also, click on the Graphics tab and look at the General, Enhancements, and Hacks tabs. Be sure to give your exact PC specs too (for example, look at my signature).

In my video you can actually see all of my settings. I have gone through the wiki and have not found something like my issue. Also redumping my game is kinda difficult as my Wii's disc drive doesnt work anymore.

Err... and how did you get the ISO of your game, when your Wii drive is broken?

I have old dumps of every gamecube game i've ever bought on an External hard drive.

Like I said in my edit, video wasn't working at first. Youtube has a thing for not wanting to work with HTML5 videos every now and then. :p Blame Google.

You might want to try saving using Dolphin's emulated memory card rather than using save states. Also, make sure it isn't something to do with having cheats enabled. I think a lot of people have reported this game crashing randomly, not certain there's an exact fix for it though.

Oh google you so silly.
Do i have to start all over again or can i just switch to emulated memory card?
Also there are no cheats added for any of my games except for soul calibur so it shouldnt affect anything but i can turn it off.
Should i try another version of dolphin? I just want to finish my game :*(

If you have another earlier save state, you can revert to that and just save like you would on a normal GC. If that's your only save state then you might be short on luck. You can find plenty of memory card saves online though. It might not have the same stats and items, but you could find one that's relatively close to where you are in the game now. Note, I'm not saying that using an emulated memory card would solve the crashing issue, just saying it's something to try.

Also, I don't think you can try another version of Dolphin, like 3.0. The save states are often incompatible between versions due to how Dolphin changes.

Try using the official release Dolphin 3.0, I can confirm that completing the Rawk Hawk battle does not crash on this release.
Head over to my thread (link in sig) and configure Dolphin like I have and you should be fine.
Don't underestimate the power of the 3.0 release Smile
