This game doesn't even boot, tested using D3D, openGL, with dual core and without. All I get is black screen, not even FPS on the top bar.

All default options, build 5.0 6094

Tested it again with build 4.0 8400 (random old one), and game boots and work perfectly.

It was broken somewhere between this build and 5.0 6094

so, if you're interested in reporting these issues, you can use my bisect tool to automate the process.

It's unlikely that anybody will look into issues that occur in games that nobody has, on top of no bisect being done.

Having a valid bisect boosts the possibility of somebody caring greatly.

Great tool, as a developer I love these kind of tools for helping with meta issues.

Ok, done, and turns out, my local Dolphin config was somehow corrupted after playing 300 different titles. Not even restoring all defaults could fix it.

Finally could boot the game with any build by deleting the dolphin config folder, very weird. Seems like there's some kind of bug, but I cannot dedicate more time to it.

Also, regarding what you said before,

Are my current reports useless ? Please clarify this point to me so I can take a decision with this project.

No, your reports are very good here on the forums. If you wanted to take this a step further and make it a valid, useful report on Dolphin's issue tracker, we need the issue tested against the latest stable and a bisect done (using my tool is fine for that)

Given the scope of your project and how many shovelware titles nobody has ever touched in Dolphin, nobody would blame you if you didn't want to do that for *every game that has issues*

So it's all up to you how much effort you want to put into this. Reports on the forum that you've been doing now is fine. They just won't get much attention.

Fair enough, I will try to supply more info using the bisect tool, which I already did, but unfortunately as I posted on support, I have to backup my config folder everytime because older builds crash with newer configs.

I will do this but probably only for titles that used to work before and regressed, for just general bugs, I will continue posting on each thread.

Also, if I don't post in a games thread, that means the title work perfectly for me, no need to bloat the forum
