Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi! I've only started to use Dolphin for 2 days now and it's pretty fun! All the nostalgic games I had from my Gamecube are back to life! Anywho, I got a problem!

I recently got Pokemon: Gale of Darkness and I've played the game for a few days now, but the problem hasn't really bugged me until now when I was trying to capture a shadow Pokemon and it froze. I tried to Google the code that is presented in the error, but I haven't had any good results with that either.

Attached are 3 files; "error 1" is the first of the two messages I get when my game goes haywire on me and "error 2" being the second. "Error 3" is just the settings I used but I just wanted it to go along with the theme of errors.

The error pops up after every few hours I start Dolphin.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with a AMD Phenom II X4 965 Quad Core Processor at about 3.4GHz with 8GB of RAM and a AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series graphics card.
If there's any more info needed I'll be happy to add them.

Next time try to post into the official game thread http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-gc-...ess--26142 .

For your issue try to do what's suggested in the first error message: try to disable Dual Core

3.5-367 is not the latest revision, you got Dolphin from the wrong website. This is the right website: http://dolphin-emu.org/download/

I just tried it on the stable 3.5 Dolphin and it still gave me problems. After that, I tried it on the dev version 3.5-518 and the problem occurs as well.

3 things you can try:
- disable Panic Handlers
- use Dolphin 3.0
- redump your game

Maybe try the FIFO-BP branch build:

http://dl.dolphin-emu.org/builds/dolphin...522-x64.7z
http://dl.dolphin-emu.org/builds/dolphin...522-x86.7z

Would you please zip and attach your memory card with instructions on how to reproduce the error? I'd like to see the error on my pc.

Are there simple instructions on how to redump somewhere?

@skid , I'll be testing out the FIFO-BP build.

Attached are the 2 memory cards but the one my save file gets saved to is USA.

Also, the error comes up randomly. I first encountered it when my speed dropped down to 70% and it was sitting there for a while because of the area I was in. The next time it happened was during the screen shot I provided where my speed was 100% for a while during the battle and it was 100% when I received the error. At times I walk around the error occurs so there's no possible way to "conjure" this error that I know of.

If you still get the error in the FIFO-BP build, you might try right clicking the game in the game list and going to the properties and checking "Synchronise GPU".

I'll give your save game a try later.

dump = a copy of your disc

Is "Synchronize GPU" a specific option to FIFO-BP builds? I couldn't see it even in very latest builds
