Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

well, maybe there wasn't really a problem in r7185 but rather that it changed Dolphin's behaviour in some cases to something that was broken before but never got "used" by Dolphin up until that revision? If you get what I'm saying, dunno how else to describe it xD

No deal.

NeoBrain made a commit ( http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/sou...921e8cc02a ) which - as he says - MIGHT resolve the random crashes issue. If you wanna test it a bit, you can get a build here: http://www.emucr.com/2011/10/dolphin-cp-...0-159.html

I have tested two very crash-prone games so far. One (Exerbeat ) didn't crash on me on first test runs. Another (Wii Party) unfortunately did crash...however, I think that game even had crashing issues before the random crashing began, so let's not count that one...*continue testing when I have the time*

Just had another crash in Wii Play Motion. I guess the fix didn't touch the random crashes
However, it's good people are having a look at the code of that time, there must be sommmmmething there

again, it only fixes crashes introduced in r7185, so... you should prolly mention if it was actually broken by that commit.

Wii Party has always had crashes from the time being so it doesn't count for this issue

well, yeah, I'm not sure about Wii Play Motion, I THINK it started with r7185 there, but that's the shitty thing with random crashes, they don't just come along when you want them to

Ok, I guess we should only check the games we really know got random crashes with r7185. It's just that I know almost no wii games which had random crashing issues before r7185.

Well. That's what people said all the time though, that the crashes started with r7185.
Reliable testing reports are hard to get these days, in particular with this kind of issue :/

This is going to sound silly, but I don't think Dolphin is the issue. I posted my story and how I got rid of my crashes (haven't had one in over 6 hours of gameplay with different games: Used to happen at least once every half hour or so)...here:

I reinstalled My OS without updating from MS and flawless performance. Once again, details in my post linked above. It may be worth looking into (or maybe not) but it solved my crashes!

Im playing ToS GC at the moment and release 3.0 and later is crashing all the time. In other games, too.
Thanks to this thread I installed 7170 and its much much better.
There must be a big bug in the later releases.,
