What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
When any minigame loads in Mario Party 8, Dolphin will crash with a message "Invalid read from 0x9f0a7c41, PC = 0x8002a2bc" and infinite more when the 16:9 (US) widescreen code from the wiki is enabled, and only if this code is enabled. Does not crash when entering any minigame from the free play menu.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Load the included savestate, wait for the game to pick the minigame "Mean, Lean Ravine", then it will crash.
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, 5.0-11863
Is the issue present in the latest stable version?
Can't test as I can't find a way to add a gecko code in 5.0-stable
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.)
This has not happened before, and neither did I do a Dolphin update between when it was working before and when it's not (~1 month). The only thing I recall changing lately was updating my graphic card driver.
Doesn't work on 5.0-11329 either, an old version that I also had lying around.
If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

I actually wanted to know what is presented in the problems section, not the hashes.

Oh my bad, I didn't notice the screenshot. Well the problem probably isn't related to the disc image, but I'll test the game here to be sure.

I can confirm it crashes with the provided savestate, so it's definitely not related to the dump. However, since this is a crash that only occurs with a gecko code, I'm not sure there's really anything for us to do about it.

Since it's from the wiki (https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Mario_Party_8#16:9_Aspect_Ratio_Fix), and no author is provided there, I assumed to report this here. If this is out of scope, I guess feel free to close.

There was an update to the gecko codes for Mario Party 8 recently, can you verify if 5.0-13971 fixes your issue?

- Status changed from New to Won't fix
Not all Gecko codes are guaranteed to work with Dolphin. The fact it crashes may just be how it is. For me to want to accept an issue like this, we'd have to prove Dolphin is doing something demonstrably wrong.
