Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

The game disc image that you are using might be a bit corrupt. Have you checked its MD5 checksum against gametdb or redump.org?

No, I haven't. I'm not sure how I'd do that, either.
It seems to be happening with all the games I've tried - Gotcha Force, SSBB, SSBM.

Have you checked out this thread? Your dump obviously reveals a different error, but the symptoms sound very similar.

Have you checked your RAM for errors with memtest?

Yeah, I've seen that thread.
Memtest is Ok.

Bump

Bump again.

Anyone? :L

I'd love to hear an answer to this too, because I'm having the same problem. Goes for both Wii and GC games. Not sure what is causing it to always shut down after only several minutes of game play. I also wanted to make sure it wasn't certain stages of games, so I saved and started up from the save location again and was able to play for 10-15 minutes and then again a crash.

No system slow down or other problems until it just shuts down.

Still looking for some help.

I may have just overlooked it but what specific build are you using of Dolphin and is it x86 or x64?

Looks like you have Dolphin in your My Docs folder which should be OK, but just in case, assign yourself as the Owner and give yourself full rights to the folder/files.

Also temporarily (as a test) disable your antivirus/anti-malware software to see if the issue persists. Often Antivirus software manipulates the way applications work behind the scenes and it can cause issues (such as McAfee's replacing the cscript.exe with its own which causes all kinds of hell if McAfee is uninstalled). If that turns out not to be it, run a full scan for viruses, malware and rootkits to ensure you do not have anything borking up the system.

You say you cant run as Admin because the GPad doesnt work. Give us more info on this. I have never heard of that.

Also what about your WiiMote if you run as Admin? If that works. Test as Admin with the WiiMote.

Also ensure you have the latest GPU and system drivers. Bad drivers might be something to look into. Also look at the GPU temps as you play by using GPU-Z. I know you said your CPU temps are OK but a poorly seated GPU heatsink can cause hard lockups.

I am sure this isnt it, but how often do you reboot your PC? If it has been awhile, things like this can creep in.

I see you have dropbox as well. Perhaps Dropbox is trying to backup Dolphin files as they are being used and the OS doesnt like it. I know its a long shot but disable DropBox temporarily and see if that helps.

Please dont discount any of these just because other applications work. This issue is a strange one so please try all of the above and report the results back
