Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Rolling back over 1500 revisions is definitely going to deprecate save states made using one of the latest revisions. Plus, save states may break when saving/loading especially if unstable options such as "dual core" and "idle skipping" are used. Consider save states incompatible with (fairly) different revisions, and in some cases, unstable.

Do you still have the in-game saves? If so, you should copy those (not the save-states) into r6000 and try again. You'll have higher chances of success this way.
If that's a GameCube game, copy the User\GC folder (or just the MemoryCard?.???.raw files). If that's a Wii game, copy the User\Wii\title folder (or right-click the game from the game list and do "Open Wii save folder" so you have an idea of what folder to copy).

(Some commits introduce errors or typos that may cause regressions in Dolphin, which may end up being unreported until someone eventually finds that out and reports it on Dolphin's issue tracker... Finding out that a regression in a game occured is the easy part, but narrowing the "culprit" down to a few revisions is the "hard" part)

I had used the ingame saves, took me a few mins to find out where the save games actually were. I used them in the r6000 and it had the same issue. I don't know what to do, the in-game save was right as I was leaving one of the caves and it was bam, debt cleared and the game ending credits started rolling. But yeah, I give up on Pikmin 2, I've tried so many revisions, so many times, just.. T_T

Glad I've gotten further on Wind Waker though, gotta try that later on and see how far I can get. Just got to Wind Fall Island for the first time, but it was 2am and I was exhausted thanks to hot weather. But yeah, I appreciate the feedback but..It seems I found something that can't be fixed by anything on my end. I hope you guys can get some info out of this. Freezing seems to be common as I've noticed in Google search but..yeah... I'm grateful that Wind Waker worked, you helped me get that working, so I appreciate the help of the forums.

I played through it looooooong ago, maybe r2000-3000, didn't have the problem. If someone else can confirm having the issue, maybe it's an important bug:/
