[Win7] Dolphin Crashing in [Pal] Xenoblade - DMJohn0X - 03-29-2012
Okay, so I'm trying to run Xenoblade Chronicles [PAL] with Dolphin 3.0 r591
I have tried practically every setting there is. Then I updated my vid-card drivers.
I've tried at least 6 other old revisions of dolphin including r7676 and r7714.
I've gone through more forum threads than I ever wanted two in the last 48 hours.
I have tried SLI on and SLI off with and without dedicated PhysX.
I am stuck!
Here is my rig:
[u]Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Core2Duo E8400 3.0ghz OC'd @ 3.83ghz
SLI Dual Geforce 8800GT's w/ 1.5gb RAM
6GB Kingston DDR3 1333mhz RAM[/u]
Here is my problem:
The game loads up great. Everything works no matter what settings I pick. (Some crash sooner) But I always get the game loaded, then Im selecting a new game and in the Opening Video the emulator always crashes! Sometimes it freezes on me (rare) and I alt+control+del it. But most of the time I get an error saying that Dolphin.exe has quit working.
I know my machine is fast enough because its running the cutscene flawlessly at 50vps 25fps (Normal Pal FPS). I've seen a couple other people talk about freezes and some about crashes (usually pertaining to overheating) but none really that covers my problem.
I ran it again just to get the crash info again:

Any help at all would be amazing as I REALLY want to play this game. <3

Try to redump your game (if you haven't done it yet)

Done and done twice. Still no go.
Anyone else had similar problems or ideas as to what may fix this issue?
I could try a 32bit version of the emulator, I guess. Im running outta options and ideas here.
After I try that, I'll try running another game and make sure it is or isnt exclusive to Xenoblade.

Try the official Dolphin 3.0 release.
RE: [Win7] Dolphin Crashing in [Pal] Xenoblade - DMJohn0X - 03-30-2012
I fixed the crashing. Turns out that my processor wasn't OC'd stable at 3.83ghz. Got it stabilized at 3.62ghz.
Now Im able to play which is great. Game is beautiful, btw. Running at 2x Internal Res and 4x Anti-Alias.
New issue has risen. The game is randomly freezing. Sometimes 4mins in. Sometimes a couple hours.
This a known issue?
Current 3.0 settings are:
Enabled Dual Core
Enabled Idle Skipping
JIT Recompiler
Locked To Threads
Audio:
Enabled DTK
XAudio2 @ 4400mhz
Scaled EFB Enabled
Ignore Format Changes
EFB Copies [Texture]
External Frame Buffer Disabled
and only Disable Pixel Per Depth

It is but should be solved in latest builds
RE: [Win7] Dolphin Crashing in [Pal] Xenoblade - DMJohn0X - 03-30-2012
Well I am actually using a 3.0 build I downloaded from the main site Monday.
So I'm not sure. Also, there is a minor bug with the music getting stuttery randomly but it normally fixes itself.
Otherwise, the game is still totally playable and for that Im greatful.
