What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

An unknown opcode error appears sometimes when the game is reset. On single core mode it seems to almost always happen on the first reset but it also happens on dual core seemingly at random.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Turn off dual core mode (optional but makes reproduction easier)

  2. Start OoT

  3. Reset. I don't think it matters when but I only did it on the title screen and file select. Using Dolphin or the home menu to reset does not make a difference

  4. If no unknown opcode error appears, close the game and try again. Alternatively, you might get an error if you keep resetting but it's pretty unreliable.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

5.0-14019

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

I'm not sure. I don't think resetting works on 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.)

5.0-10179 While bisecting I only tested for the one that shows up reliably on single core. Btw, the forum thread is right. Bisecting by hand is not fun. Will the tool be fixed in the future?

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

N/A

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

I tested this on my laptop a Lenovo Legion 5 15ARH05
CPU: Ryzen 5 4600h
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650/ AMD Radeon Graphics
OS: Windows 10 Home

This also happens on my desktop. I will provide its specs if I need to.

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

20:17:711 Common\MsgHandler.cpp:133 E[MASTER]: Ερώτηση: GFX FIFO: Unknown Opcode (0xff @ 0x2b7ff58e6a8, 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.

Yeah, this happens. If you really want to avoid it the popup, just turn off panic handlers. The unknown opcode is harmless in this case. Likely the initialization issue that hits a few other games.

Your bisect doesn't make sense. Can you double check?

Actions #3

Updated by Nickps over 3 years ago

I tried again. I got an unknown opcode first try on 179 and I can't get one on 177. So, even if it can happen on 177 I have to conclude 179 makes it more likely.

  • Priority changed from Normal to High

Yeah, my sincere apologies, I misread the build you bisected to because today has been one of those days. That's definitely a valid bisect now that I looked at it again.

Regression -> https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/commit/e66d25312ea1b0c09140fce8d29fe1744ba71ce4

Simple change, but it also affects other things.

Apology accepted. Don't beat yourself up about it. To be honest I wasn't paying much attention while bisecting so double checking didn't hurt.

Actions #7

Updated by JMC4789 over 3 years ago

The problem is figuring out how to fix these issues without causing more regressions. This is essentially the least damaging of 3 separate behaviors.
