Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Game shows "The game disc could not be read", then after a couple of seconds, a black screen and after closing the game, Dolphin will be unstable.

Build 5.0 6194, D3D, all default options.

Dumped US and EUR versions.

Retro test it to 5.0, 4.0, 3.5 and 3.0 .. all of them show the same behaviour, looks like this title never worked in Dolphin

Check the partition integrity by going to Game properties > Filesystem. Right click Partition 1 (or Partition 0 if there is no Partition 1) and select "Check Partition Integrity".

Fair enough, my European dump errors, but USA one (with 2 partitions) finishes both checks OK.

Only Partition 0 in my RX4E4Z copy. It completes an integrity check without error.

I can confirm what Kolano says, there are two RX4E4Z versions of this title for some reason, one with 1 partition and the other with 2 partitions, both check ok for me, and show the "disc cannot be read" screen.

There are no official Wii releases with 1 partition. If you have a dump with one partition, it's because the update partition has been removed by the dumping program (or by a dedicated scrubbing program). Anyway, removing the update partition shouldn't affect how the game runs.

Ok good info, yeah I scrub all of my dumps. So anyways, having the 2 partitions still trigger that screen, so you're correct, scrubbed or not doesn't affect the emulation

Workaround - https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/6417

I tried 6414, adding the settings ini from that commit to my own gamesettings, and still getting the same error.

What could be wrong ?
