I've been using Dolphin for a while, but never had a problem like this. I recently got The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Soul Calibur II, both for the Gamecube, and ran their ISOs on Dolphin like the rest of my games. I played one session each, and then changed their names so they would be better formatted in my ISO folder. Then, next time I tried to boot them up, my Dolphin immediately crashed. I figured there was a problem with recognising the names, so I reverted the ISO names to their original name. Unfortunately, it still crashes! So I decide to delete the files and put them back on my computer. But no, it still crashes my Dolphin if I try to run one.
Now here's where things get interesting. I actually have 3 versions of Dolphin downloaded, and they all react differently. I've been using Dolphin 5.0-4703 for my personal games, but my friend and I downloaded Dolphin 5.0-8752 for Netplay testing, and I still have my old Dolphin 5.0-1828, because there was some sort of controller issue sometimes with the one I was using. So I tested the new downloads on each of the versions. 4703 is the one that causes the crashes, but 1828 doesn't even recognise the ISOs. If I open them manually, not using the default ISO selection thing, it works, but even if I refresh the ISOs they don't show up. For 8752, everything works fine, but since I downloaded that for Netplay I'm not sure I want to use that for my personal save files. The really odd thing is that, despite creating a save for the games, transferring my memory card doesn't also transfer the saves for these two games.
Because it works differently for my different versions, it's not exactly a critical problem. I can just download a new Dolphin version and transfer all my settings or whatever, replay the one session I had with each game. But I don't really understand how something like this could have happened.
