Super Paper Mario Crashes and Freezes

[Spamzilla]

So I've been playing Super Paper Mario without any problem in 5.0-3177 until I got to Chapter 6-2.  After beating the boss Mimi, I went through a few rooms until I got to a character with a red helmet that talked and zoomed in on the sky. Then, Dolphin bugged out and I got some dialogs and/or crashes...  

I then downloaded version 5.0-3251 and it is exactly the same problem..

Which backend are you using? Does it also happen on D3D11?

[Spamzilla]

It happens exactly the same on OpenGL and D3D11

Make sure you have your latest GPU drivers installed.

[Spamzilla]

Yes, they are up to date

Ok... Do you change any settings -after- opening the game?

[Spamzilla]

I didn't change anything after opening the game

i had this issue happen to me too. i know the devs dont recommend old builds, but i was able to get by the crash by using 4.0.2 until i was able to save, then go back to using the build i was using before.

There's a Pull Request working around the issue, https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/4601

I tried development builds 5.0-3287 and 5.0-3301 and they both froze and needed to be Ctrl+Alt+Del 'ed to escape to the desktop
