Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I've used Fire Blast with my Vulpix before...at least I think thats what the move was. I run on Single Core though, could you try and see if that affects the outcome?
Also, please verify that your dump is good using the MD5 sum in the game properties and a site like ReDump.

I've been playing through this game in single core. I highly recommend people just use single core if they can. Do not rely on Dolphin's dualcore. You'll thank yourself later.

Changing from Double Core to Single really helped, there are no more Fire Blast Crashes. Thanks.

I've been trying to find the solution to my problem but I just can't seem to find my specific case anywhere else. What's happening for me is whenever I mess with the graphical settings, the game's text is messed up. It's almost as if the text is lagging behind, so it appears mixed up or scrambled. This isn't even when I change any settings, even if I just hit the graphic settings button it messes up the text. When I close the game and load it back up it goes back to normal, but if I try to change the settings again it breaks.

Opening the graphics menu overrides the game-specific settings and applies the settings from the graphics menu to the game. Stop opening the graphics menu during gameplay, or change the settings in the graphics menu to match those of the game ini file for the game. You're probably either enabling EFB to Texture or changing the texture cache accuracy setting by opening the graphics menu, which then breaks the game.

Okay, just a follow up question while you're here, it should be the last one I have. The reason I keep opening up the graphics menu is because doing that while running the game makes my framerate much more stable in all the games I've played so far. In terms of what's happening with Gale of Darkness, is there a workaround to somehow getting that stable framerate a different way? Or would I just have to go into the ini file and make sure everything matches up.

Opening the graphics menu speeds up the game by applying the inaccurate settings that also break the graphics. You can't have speed and proper emulation unless you buy a faster computer. If only certain parts of the game are slow, though, you can set a hotkey to switch between EFB to RAM and EFB to Texture at will, so you can toggle to fast mode with broken graphics during the slow parts and switch back to correct graphics during the parts that run better. If you always get low FPS, then you'll have to either live with low FPS, live with broken graphics, buy a faster computer, or play a less demanding game.

[attachment=16040][attachment=16041]  The message I get when I try to withdraw items from my PC. I used AR to put the items in here. 999 of master balls and rare candies does not work. I tried 1 each still crashes. Please help me.

Does it crash when you're not using cheats? If not, then that's your solution. Dolphin isn't responsible for problems caused by cheats.

I had the foretold problem of read/write errors and even crashes caused by using savestates (the problems starts even after rebooting Dolphin and not using any savestate). The Bingo battles trigger those errors.

I looks like the use of savestates partially corrupted my save. I think this is a important bug and It should be mentioned in the wiki and even update de this game's ini file to disable savestates (although I think the INIs don't offer that option)
