Hey guys, new to Dolphin. I have not tried any other games yet, and that will be the first thing I try so I can get more specific details about the cause of this error.

With that being said, Dolphin right now eats up all of my available ram (somewhere around 6.5 gigabytes) within 10 seconds of launching SSBM and then my entire computer freezes. I have tried this 4 times all with trying various settings tutorials off of youtube with the same results every time.

Has anyone ever run into this issue before?

Try deleting the shadercache in case it got messed up.

SSBM eating up 6GB of RAM? When was the last time you updated Dolphin?

Using the most up to date one at the moment. The game never loads. The emulator hits a black screen then eats up all my ram and freezes my comp

A few days ago when I started getting it all set up. I feel like my issue is a setting somewhere. I am running an AMD processor. Is that anything worth noting for setting up?

AMD processors do not work well with emulating, and Dolphin is no exception. See this handy benchmark to see how different processors work with Dolphin. The emulator only operates on two cores, so more cores does not necessarily mean better performance. For maximal Dolphin performance, Intel is the way to go. So having an AMD processor would make you have bad FPS, but idk about just a black screen. Does it even start the game or is it just totally nothing? If it's just nothing, I've had a problem similar to that which was fixed by updating Dolphin.

No, using an AMD processor won't affect RAM usage. A leak like this is probably a bug.

AMD CPUs can play Smash just fine. Actually, there are probably toasters powerful enough to play smash. It's not a very intensive game.
