Wiimms MKW-Fun 2015-12V1 ISSUE

[iZeusHD]

It works fine when I load it, but when I try to open a custom track, it gives me infinite INVALID READ. Fix?

Probably this from https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2016/09/06/booting-the-final-gc-game/
"Another welcome surprise is that a bunch of romhacks should run better in Dolphin. Wiimm's Mario Kart Wii More Fun romhacks will load their track selection screen properly! To a degree, at least.

This is very, very lucky to be working at all. Because the hack doesn't clear the icache and instead relies on the PowerPC processor to handle icache eviction and flushing, it was thought to be impossible to emulate on Dolphin without huge performance penalties. But now Dolphin clears the icache on BAT changes. Unfortunately, users will need to return to the main menu between races. If you want this fixed... don't bother reporting it here. While Dolphin will eventually emulate instruction and data cache emulation, both combined will raise requirements for CPU emulation by 14x! For hardcore users and those seeking accuracy, this needs to be emulated, but for everyone else you really don't want a game you like to require accurate cache emulation."

"return to the main menu between races"
I can't even get onto one, but if it is lucky to run like that, I guess I can't have custom tracks. Wine's CT pack, CTGP-R 1.02, MKW Adventures, and MKW Hack Pack all failed to load.

Make sure you are using the latest Dolphin development version! 5.0 stable doesn't have that.

I think the older Wiimms hacks stopped working for me (Not sure though ). This one works fine though: http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Wiimms_Mario_Kart_Fun_2016-10

Just make sure you're using the most recent version of the Dolphin development builds!

Wiimm's track hacks rely on the Wii's icache behavior. If the newer ones clear the icache properly, then they have the potential to work better.
