Quote:Using saves states pretty much sums up your issue.Idk where you've been, but save states haven't caused crashes like this since mid 3.0 revisions. Occasionally they will still randomly crash on loading (<1% of the time), but the problem is in loading. The save states are just fine, and restarting dolphin and loading it again will always work.
The real problem is that he's using a horribly old build, where this was true.
OP, using a less ancient version will fix the problem. You'll need to start over to do that though, unless you have saved using the in game save function.
