I recently got dolphin and decided to play a game which I used to when I was younger "FFCC The Crystal Bearers"
I got to a part which was around 30 minutes in and all of a sudden I couldn't see anything!

What is wrong??

What version of Dolphin are you using? I recommend using the latest beta/development version of Dolphin. Download it from here.
Are you using NKit ISO format? If yes, then avoid using NKit ISO, and use either WBFS/ISO.
Also try changing your graphics backend to OpenGL or Direct3D or Vulkan.

If all this doesn’t help, then open Dolphin > Right click on the icon of the game in games list > Properties > Verify > Verify Integrity
And then post the screenshot of the result here.
It might be a bad dump.

This is what it looks like, i was originally using 5.0 I then updated to the latest beta and it didn't change apart from being substantially more laggy.

What is the extension of the game file? Is it NKit ISO or WIA or else?
Anyways, it’s definitely not ISO. Try using the proper 1:1 ISO format & see whether the problem is still there or not.

Its WFBS if I try ISO it just shows a black screen and never runs the game.
The game was running fine until that part.

The Dolphin wiki shows this game as “Playable” with no reported problems. Maybe something in the new versions of Dolphin has broken the game. I guess a developer or senior member might help you.

By the way, download this old version (5.0-10892) and use it to check whether the game used to run without problems in the older versions.
