lr-dolphin keeps randomly crashing Gamecube games - is there a solution for this?
-
I know the "solution" most people will say is "use the standalone version" but I've found lr-dolphin to work quite well... when it works.
The biggest issue I seem to have with it is it will randomly crash a Gamecube game usually within the first 60 second of a game loading, if it is going to crash.
For example, I can load up 1080 Snowboarding or 18 Wheeler about twenty times each, and probably half of those times it will crash within the first 60 seconds of the game loading.
and when it doesn't crash, I can play for a good 15-20 minutes with no issues at all.
Is there any setting in the core, or anything you can think of that would be making the emulator core crash or is it just that unstable?
and I'm talking a hard crash, like it completely locks up the Pi and you have to shut it down.
I have tried things like underclocking the console in the dolphin settings with minimal success but nothing that seems to keep it from not crashing at all.

I had the same issues with the lr-dolphin. The emulator hasn't received an important update in the last 2 years. Did you try using Vulkan, just in case that works better?
-
@sugarfree I am using Vulkan. Getting the same results with either Vulkan or gl.

@sugarfree Also, were you using ,ciso files or .rvz files?
-
@TPR I am using
.rvz -
@sugarfree Ok nevermind. At first maybe I thought it was an rvz vs ciso thing, but I just loaded the .ciso 1080 Avalanche 5 times and on the 5th time it crashed. So I don't think the file type has anything to do with the random crashes.
