Emulator

oops forgot:

Audio:

Everything:ON
Resident Evil Fix: OFF
Dsound.

If you prefer a save state just before beating the crap out of bowser (or about to)
just ask.

Also, Quite important. I've seen others who have beaten the game with dolphin,
however they use 64 bits, while I use 32 bits.

can u upload ur saved game to the forums and link it here?

ok here it is:

Btw, does scrubbing ISOs make them lose information? I had to scrub the SMG ISO to
pass it from my shitbox to my good computer, so I don't know if that caused problems.

Just verifying that this is still active, as of SVN 4389. A black screen of nothing
appears after the ending cinematic.

Just for record, IIRC I was able to circumvent this problem by turning of dual-core.

Just beat the game with dual core turned off. It still hung before the credits.

i kinda agree with the sound format theory because with nullsound, the credits
actually starts and you're able to save at the end. to those who want to finish the
game and be able to save, just set sound to nullsound.

This is still an issue in recent revisions (5091)... Can't finish the game that way.
With the NullSound backend it works, but that isn't part of newer builds anymore, so
one has to re-import it again.

Issue 2241 has been merged into this issue.

So as it's been said, this is caused by some bug in the ucode emulation, either try
to use DSP-LLE or disable "Enable HLE sound" in DSP-HLE plugin which will have the
same effect as using Nullsound

I get the black screen randomly while playing some mission. I also get it when
fighting boswer boss and pirhana baby. Only with D3D.

Me too! Just happen to me and I had to come here to check the reports. I'm stuck on
the octopus in the 3rd galaxy. Screen just goes black during one of his animations.

can be merged with Issue 1703 - seems to be the same problem

not related :) "Video: Open GL"

Issue 1615 has been merged into this issue.

Try using "No audio output" in the DSP HLE plugin and see if that gets past the hang. If that works, it means there is a DSP timing issue causing this.

IIRC that didn't work for me last time I tried..

Why was this merged with HLE No to Bad output? Seems a bit silly. HLE has always had problems, but never does it stop the game, as it does in SMG. This seems much too unique to be merged with 4450.

HLE causes bad audio AND hangs. That's just how it is. It's a rubbish plugin with a ton of issues that all belong together, in case one day someone wants a challenge, instead of working on parts of the emulator that actually need work (aspects that don't work for anyone's hardware). Some things I guess can be fixed up to get HLE working a lot better, but it'll never be as good as LLE from what I hear. I still would rather these devs not spend a single second of their free time looking at that and investing in other parts of the emu.

The audio and DSP stability is perfect if you use the LLE with a Sandy - spend a couple hundred dollars investing into your PC to get what you want - don't waste devs time having them work on an obselete plugin. Take it upon yourself to do something. Go mow some lawns if you want correct audio in Dolphin, it's as simple as that. Otherwise, please let the devs work on things they SHOULD be working on. Until you're willing to do that, you'll have to put up with some dsp bugs...such as this. That's life. You control your destiny. :)

I have the same problem but AFTER the credits

please help me :(

It's clearly a HLE issue

Same hang problem with 7 x64 in HLE, but changed to LLE and 1x in previous checksave and the game didn't hang

The "No audio ouput" option in HLE didn't work, BTW
