Invalid read to / Invalid write to error - ilikedolphinemu - 01-24-2016
when i play a particular game for about an hour or so, the emulation always freezes and I get a small pop-up error message that reads "Invalid read to (numbers)" and when I close out the pop up another box comes up and says "Invalid write to (numbers)". Usually after I click off the popup ten times or so, the game presumes until I press a button on my controller, the process then repeats.
Is this a common issue and/or is there a fix?
Also, will using the "stop" button on the emulator hibernate/close the game an allow me to pick up where I left off? If so, I will try this for a fix.

Please update to the newest development version and see if it happens there. If it does, I suggest checking the MD5 of the game.

Ok, Ill try that, but what about the "stop" button? Not wanting to lose my progress.
Does the "stop" button suspend the game?

The Stop button is like removing power to the console. It will immediately stop the game without saving any progress.
