What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
There's two problems, at the very least. Probably a lot more.
- The test always reports the disc drive as being inoperative. This seems to be harmless.
- The first test crashes dolphin. It used to just hang on older versions. On newer versions it complains about an unknown pointer and as soon as you exit the dialog it shuts down. The values of the pointer, the program counter and LR (link register?) (0x03358f20, 0x80018800 and 0x80018c0c; respectively) seem to be consistent. A fourth value, r-time, provided by the test and printed below version date; also seems to consistently be 624 microseconds.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Boot the game up, wait until the ARAM test is done (about 8s if running full speed) and press B. No other input seems to have any effect at this stage. The test suite later lists its button mappings, but it doesn't seem to respond to them before the crash happens.
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, 5.0-14988.
Is the issue present in the latest stable version?
Most likely. However, the test might not even boot 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.)
It's probably been broken from the very beginning, in some form or another.
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)

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
As a side note, the aging test started booting before 5.0-756. I can't go back any further than that without deleting my settings which I don't wanna bother with. It might have actually started booting before 540 though, since the wiki is already wrong about memcards having anything to do with the program's behavior (did the exact same thing both with and without memcards and always got the same results).
The only reason I decided to test this was to see if the recent DSP fixes did anything, which does not seem to be the case (sadly, the service disc's DSP tests don't seem to be affected either). Anyway, I'll bisect the hang's behavior change later.
