Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I have 2 computers, both core i7's, one is a laptop and one a desktop. I've been trying to play Ocarina of Time in Master Quest for GC. Dolphin seems to consistently crash whenever I leave the towns. The graphics card on my desktop is an AMD 6850 and my laptop a Nvidia 620m. Both the desktop and laptop use hybrid graphics. Dolphin is set to use the higher performance graphics for both machine and confirmed it is using them when comparing frame rates between the integrated graphics. I've tried the stable 3.5 builds as well as the other branches such as the OpenGL and the Intel optimized ones with the same result.

I've tried all video backends, using LLE for audio with the same result. I've literally experimented with every combination of the 'hack' settings with the same results. I don't use the game save state function at all, only the built in saving to memory card. I use the 2x native resolution

Dolphin will crash with no error messages sometimes. Sometimes give a read-only message. Other times would give error about being in a section it shouldn't be.

Is there anything I can do to provide information to the devs to help out with this bug? Are there state dumps or logs I should capture?

Thanks!

Try using the very latest revisions (3.5-1348 as of this writing). You can download it from here: http://dolphin-emu.org/download/

Given the sheer amount of all possible combinations, every time anyone says that, it's an exaggeration At any rate, post your Dolphin settings, preferably as screenshots. Additionally, post screenshots of the actual error messages you're getting (when you get them of course).

Alternatively, there is a way to extract the N64 ROM from the GC disc image, so it's entirely possible to play this on an N64 emulator.

Here are the screenshots of the settings. It froze about twice already, both times no errors. First time it crashed with the windows attempting to find solution window and the second time Dolpin is running but the emulation stopped with 0 FPS but speed at 100%. I'm finding that using Direct3D11, although faster, seems to produce no errors when crashing but Direct3D9 happens to show some information when crashing.

Here's one in Direct3D9

What happens when you disable Dual Core? Additionally, have you tried using the latest revision yet. The FIFO-BP merge fixed a lot of crashes and freezes (not sure if it affected this game in particular, but you may as well find out).

Using the latest dev build 1348, managed to make it crash with no messages this time.
Here's the event log


Let me know how else I can help.

Edit:

Here's another one, this time switched to Direct3D11

I was also capturing logs to file with verbosity set to Error when this happened

Would you please attach a zipped version of your memory card so that I can try it? Also post instructions on how to make it crash after loading from the memory card.

I've attached the game save. In terms of what you have to do to cause a crash, its quite random. Most recently happened when attempting to beat the boss of the saved level after throwing a bomb into the beasts mouth.

Edit:
Here's some logs I captured from the last crash as I entered a new room
