Description

Game Name?

Super Mario Sunshine

Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Info tab)

Cant get id (game cannot be found in the selection, let alone game list)

MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Verify tab, Verify Integrity button)

Cant get MD5 Hash (game cannot be found in the selection, let alone game list)

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When launching the game, the emulator will only show a black screen, and will give me the error: "Failed to init core"

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Launching the game

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 (Vanguard-504-2-dirty)

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

Yes (Vanguard-504-2-dirty)

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.)

Unknown

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

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

Windows 10, Processor AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor, 3400 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s), System Type x64-based PC

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

No

Without the MD5 hash, we can't rule out the possibility that the game file is not in a valid format. Please use some program other than Dolphin to calculate the MD5 of your ISO file.

I also have no idea what "Vanguard-504-2-dirty" is. This issue tracker is only for the official version of Dolphin.

Dolphin came with this when i installed it with RTC (real time corruptor).
I dont know if this version of dolphin is a developer version, an unintentional version, or something.
I may have stumbled upon an unreleased version.
I didnt have this version before.
If you can, ask the creator of dolphin if he/she knows anything about "Vanguard-504-2-dirty". This may be of interest to him/her.

The Real-Time Corruptor comes with custom versions of emulators that have been modified by someone other than us. If you're using such a version, I'll be closing this issue. The official versions are available at https://dolphin-emu.org/download/.

In case you have panic handlers turned off in Dolphin's settings, try turning them on. If the problem indeed is the file format, then Dolphin will tell you so if panic handlers are enabled.

Where can you toggle the panic handlers?
