Emulator Issues #10044
closedReturning to the System Menu from HBC is broken
0%
Description
Game Name?
The Homebrew Channel (open source version)
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
The HBC has an option to return to the system menu. On older versions, it works just fine. But now it just hangs on a black screen; enabling panic handlers reveals that there are invalid reads in a loop.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Install the HBC and a System Menu (tested it with 4.1 personally).
- Launch the HBC.
- Press HOME on the Wii remote, then select Exit to System Menu.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work?

It seems like this only happens when launching HBC directly, not when launching it through the system menu. (But I haven't been able to confirm it, because Dolphin crashes when I directly boot the WAD in a recent Dolphin version.) My guess is that the commit affected the handling of unknown regions in some way that HBC doesn't like, because the open source version of HBC uses the game ID OHBC, and C isn't a region we recognize.
Decreasing the priority to Normal because launching the open source version of HBC directly from a WAD isn't all that important.
