Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hello everyone:

Longtime lurker, first-time poster.

I've begun launching my retro-gaming experiences directly out of Steam, using the Steam ROM Manager. I'd previously avoided using Dolphin in steam due to annoyances in how it worked with my Steam Link, but this seemed to be a good solution. To note: All Steam ROM Manager does is load banners and create shortcuts in Steam - it does not download anything illegal.

I ran the Steam ROM Manager for my older games (NES / SNES / etc), and they all work fine.
However, when trying to launch Dolphin, the games intialize, and then the emulator crashes.

I'm using the following CLI argument to launch the application - In this case, the game is Metroid Prime.

• "C:\Users\asmod\Documents\Emulators\Dolphin-x64\Dolphin.exe" -b -e "T:\ROM Database\Gamecube\Metroid Prime.iso"
  

The fact that the emulator starts, and initially loads tells me this argument is correct.
To make this more confusing, when I load Dolphin directly (outside of Steam), everything works fine.

Retroarch isn't affected by this, only Dolphin appears to be.

I've attached a verbose Logfile to this thread - I'm aware there's a ton of background calls for the Wiimote, as I have it on continuous scan, but unless you guys think that's the cause, that can probably safely be ignored.


In short: Why am I seeing these crashes?

My attachment doesn't appear to have survived the approval process, at least not in any capacity that I can see.

Here's the verbose logging:

There's nothing in the log that suggests anything went wrong. You may need to attach a debugger and get a stack trace.

I'm attaching two more Debug files in the 'Debug Logs.zip' file attached to this reply- this time captured from Debug View. I hope this is more sufficient, but when I reviewed it myself (albeit with limited debug experience), I didn't see anything that looked terribly differently from what Dolphin captured. 

You seem to have a more trained eye, so I'll trust your judgement. 

• Steam - Metroid Prime:  Game launched in Dolphin via Steam. 
  
• Dolphin - Metroid Prime: Game launched directly from within Dolphin's GUI. I closed emulation via 'Esc' button termination command, as emulation was functioning. 
  

Again, thank you for your help.

Upon further review, I think I found the problem. You'll have to review the logs (well, you don't HAVE to, but I'd appreciate it).

• C:\Users\asmod\Documents\Emulators\Dolphin-x64\Shader@0x0000015B398FA040(37,2-28): warning X3557: loop only executes for 1 iteration(s), forcing loop to unroll
  

To my untrained eye, this appears to be a shader / GPU issue. Any ideas?

that sounds like the system just warning you that you're using a loop for something that only iterates once? i'm guessing that is not the problem.

Update on this:

So, I've narrowed the issue down, although I'm stumped as how to capture it.

Anyone who uses Steam knows about the information overlap that pops-up in the bottom-right corner. I've narrowed my issues down to this - every time that pop-up loads, or tries to load, Dolphin crashes.
I restarted Steam several times, and it resulted in - for reasons of which I'm unaware - for that pop-up to load correctly, and the games loaded and worked fine.

At this point, I can no longer say this is explicitly a Dolphin issue. Dolphin is certainly interacting with a rendering call from Steam improperly, but I'm not sure where the fault lies at this point.
I'll continue investigating on my end, and will update this thread if I have a solution.

I've disabled the Overlay in Steam, and I am still seeing these issues.
I've tried pre-loading shaders, and if I load a game for the first time, it's still crashing.

The only commonality I'm seeing is when it starts to load assets from the ISO, it crashes.

Does any here know of any more in-depth debuggers I can use to capture information?

At this point, the only consistency I can see in the failure is in regards to loading assets. I've captured dozens of logs at this point, and they are all failing upon the loading of assets. I'm snipped an example below.

NOTE: The end of this log is where my emulator is crashing:

Final Note:

I've now tried just loading the Application itself, and it doesn't seems to affect it.
Dolphin itself is crashing, regardless of a game loading, if opened through Steam. I'm at an absolute loss at this point, and I appreciate the time from everyone who assisted.

The simple act of opening the GUI is causing it to crash. There has to be interference on my system causing this at this point. I will leave this up for reference, but I will no longer be updating the thread.

Thank you.

One more updates, just to get a chuckle out of someone:

This issue is so endemic on my system now, that if I create a shortcut in Steam that open CMD Prompt in Windows, then uses that to open a .bat file that then opens Dolphin, it is STILL crashing.

It's too bad there's no resolution to this issue.
I'd prefer to launch RetroArch as a non-steam game via steam link on my phone, however it always crashes when I launch games with the Dolphin core.

NES, SNES, N64 and Genesis cores all work flawlessly, which is great, but it would be much nicer if Dolphin didn't crash when loaded from steam link.

=== EDIT ===
If anyone has issues launching Dolphin games via Steam Link, I was able to get it to work by launching Steam Link into desktop mode instead of Big Picture. In desktop mode, use the mouse/trackpad option to launch RetroArch directly (not from Steam). From there, my GameCube games started and we're playable without the crash on launch issue I previously had.
