What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
When I disabled Dual core mode, the Emulator told me this in a pop up then promptly closed when I tried to open Super Monkey Ball:
GFX FIFO: Unknown Opcode (0xff @ 00000285B6BD0000, preprocess=false)
This means one of the following:
*the emulated GPU got desynced, disabling dual core can help
- Command stream corrupted by some spurious memory bug
*this really is an unknown opcode (unlikely) - Some other sort of bug
Further errors will be sent to the Video Backend log and
Dolphin will now likely crash or hang, Enjoy.
it works fine when I turned dual core mode back on.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- go to config,
- uncheck the box next to "Enable Dual Core (speedup)", the box should be empty.
- close it
- attempt to launch Super Monkey ball via the Rom list
- Bug does its thing
Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
Yes, I could do it with the latest version, 5.0-9115
Is the issue present in the latest stable version?
Nope, it starts up fine with 5.0
If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)
the earliest build I've tested is 5.0-7999, the issue may exist before that.
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
My Computer consists of:
OS- Windows 10 Home
CPU- Intel i3-4170 @ 3.70GHz
GPU- NVIDIA GeForce GT 730
8 GB Ram
Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

If you click OK on the error, does the game start as normal?

sorry about the late reply, it was like 2:00 when I posted

I would also like to note that the message wouldn't go away without using Task Manager, and the buttons are inrespondive. it crashes about 5-8 minutes later, after the message appears.

that's a new behavior in Windows itself... I've noticed it after the last few Windows updates...
Anyway, this is a GPU timing issue as a top secret slow GPU timing branch makes this work. It's kinda the opposite of that issue where I stick all the dualcore issues.

Just finished bisecting this issue, look like it first occurred in 5.0-681, here's a link to the PR. https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/3490
My PC Specs are
OS- Arch Linux 5.1.0-arch1-1
CPU - R7 2700X
GPU - Vega 56 (OpenGL renderer string: Radeon RX Vega (VEGA10, DRM 3.30.0, 5.1.0-arch1-1-ARCH, LLVM 9.0.0)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 19.1.0-devel (git-2d2927938f)
It sounds like OP is unable to progress after the error but I am able to press okay and the game starts up and then runs correctly. The first warning screen shows a different Opcode than OP -- 0xff @ 0x7fa478abd000, preprocess=false and here is the second screen -- https://pastebin.com/1uyPTdKa

I tested this on 5.0-9115 and 5.0-12369. In both cases I get the single core GFX FIFO error but emulation proceeds afterwards.
