Hi all, just want to say that I only recently discovered Dolphin but I'm an old salt to emulation, going on 11 years now, so I wanted to say great work with everything that works so well!
Anyways on to my issue. I noticed it was reported in another thread, but the thread it was reported in was actually started for another issue.
I was unable to find a place to properly report bugs, some sort of issue tracker, but if I just overlooked it, please send me a PM with a link to it and feel free to lock/delete this thread.
The issue is regarding Pikmin 1 GC with SVN r4361 x64 without JITL, and the issue is 3 fold, and they all seem to go hand in hand.
The first and more major part of the issue is that save games (to the memory card) will work for a time, and then just stop working. Restarting the emulator makes it work again, but eventually, it stops working again. To clarify, I can tell the game to save at the end of whatever day, and the overlay info telling me what memory card file it was written to will not appear, so when I try to load a game, it shows the last time it -actually- saved.
I was able to get to Day 6, before saves stopped working. Then the sound stopped when I loaded up Day 7 which is the second issue. I figured it was due to not finished LLE of the DSP, so I kept playing. I hadn't realized that save games had stopped working and played all the way to day 12.
Then the third issue came about, which is that I went to start day 12, the ship on the area select screen landed in the area I picked, then the emulation window went black (with just the FPS overlay there) and the day never loaded. I had to restart the emulator which is how I discovered that the first issue was present.
Needless to say, I was ticked, but anyways there is more. After I restarted the emulator, I loaded up Day 6 again since that was the last time it actually saved, played through that, saved before going into Day 7, played through that, saved before going into Day 8, and the sound cut out again. So this time I restarted the emulator right away. When I got back to the load screen, it was on Day 7, so I had to play through Day 7 again.
To make this long story end quicker, I'm essentially having to restart the entire emulator after each save, each Day to make sure it saves, and make sure I don't get the black screen or sound cut out issues.
One other note is that if I just let the game sit there, so it goes into the demo, the sound never cuts out.
