What's the problem?
Every Zelda ucode game will randomly hang at startup on Windows when using the LLE recompiler DSP emulation option.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Select the LLE recompiler DSP emulation engine and boot any Zelda ucode game. After a few tries the game will eventually hang on startup. (It seems to be random) This bug seemingly only occurs on Windows.

Is there any other relevant information?
This bug occurs specifically on Windows with the DSP LLE audio emulation option and only affects Zelda ucode games.

Edit: I made a simple program to reproduce this bug. To use it set no prompt on close and have the title selected in the game list.

I'll pass on running that dubious executable.
Are you using a DSP ROM dumped from a console, or the included developer-created DSP ROM?
Updated by Techjar over 6 years ago
Ok, yeah, something is definitely screwy on Windows. I reproduced it with both dumped and included DSP ROMs. Dual Core makes no difference. Was not able to reproduce it on Linux.

Forgot to add: only occurs with LLE Recompiler. LLE Interpreter works fine.

I couldn't reproduce this issue on the latest master with W10 2004 and dumped DSP, tried about 20 times with Sunshine.

Try this on Wind Waker, I was definitely having it happen last time I checked this.

I can still reproduce this issue in latest master of this post. Was testing Super Mario Sunshine.

Just for reference, since https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/10762 (5.0-16788), Super Mario Sunshine softlocks on every boot with "DSP LLE Interpreter" for me in both Linux and Windows.
Even if I entirely disable threaded DSP in code, current master (2503-156) still softlocks.
I realize this issue is older than that PR, but it seems to have affected the situation. I'll try to investigate more.
There's some relevant conversation here: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/11319

I remembered looking into this a while back, and found an old branch, which I've opened https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/13463 for. I haven't done any retesting though, and don't remember too many details of what I'm doing there. The commit "Fix the bug" is probably the most relevant one... at least hopefully.
