Memory leak - ooidort - 05-02-2009
Hello.
I'm having huge problems running this emulator.
When I launch a game, Dolphin starts to gradually chew more and more ram until it crashes. It takes about 15mins to reach the point of the program crashing.
I'm using a 64bit vista, and when Dolphin crashes, it has taken 99% of my 5gigs of ram into use.
With 32bit build of Dolphin, it crashes somewhere near 3gigs of allocated ram.
I haven't seen anyone else to have this problem, and trust me, I've googled a lot.
I've tested various builds, SVN and user compiled, and they all suffer from the same problem.
Only game I've tried is Super Smash Bros Melee. Is this problem related to this game only?
ps. Sorry for my English, I'm Finnish.

Check if you have everything installed

No, you must be using new Catalyst drivers 9.4 or 9.5.
Rollback to 9.3.

I almost went on rampage trying to figure this out.
I'm glad that reverting back to 9.3 helped.
Thanks for your help.
