Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hello capable members,

I thought I fixed my issue, but it appears to keep rearing it's ugly head. I get random crashes in Dolphin, regardless of game or system (GC/Wii). There is no error message, just the Windows 7 message saying Dolphin must close. Is there a central error log that I can post here so you knowledgeable folks can decipher it for me? The only thing I can find is exceptioninfo.txt and it was not something I understood. Its contents were:

Can anyone help me with these crashes? It happens with Twilight Princes (GC), Dragon Quest Swords (Wii) and Resident Evil 4 (GC). The settings change from game to game per the recommended official guides in this forum, so i doubt it is a settings issue. Any help is appreciated.

What Dolphin version/revision are you using?

As you said these are "random crashes" so nothing can be done. I've played RE4 a few weeks ago and I remember getting some random crashes too (three or four times but never the same place). Annoying of course but that didn't keep me from beating the game though

We are asking for people to test this possible fix to the random crashing issue. Read this. http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=19425

Sorry 3.0 (original build)

For some reason it wouldn't let me edit my above post, so...

Still, got random crash using that build. I thought it was my hardware, but I can emulate other systems without issue (such as the PS2) and I KNOW that is hardware intensive so I am hesitent to blame it. Plus all of my stability testing shows it is fine. For some reason games shown as running "perfectly" are randomly crashing. Usually less than a half hour into playing. Will keep testing. Anyone have any other ideas of info I can post to help solve the issue? Once again, I am unsure of what error information would be helpful, but I am more than happy to post it if I am told what to look for.
