Emulator

I just noticed that it doesn't crash after only 5 or so seconds of running the game.
It almost always happens after a normal play session of at least 10 minutes.

I get such crashes randomly after stopping a game.
It either:

• crashes when I close Dolphin (might be some sort of dtor bailing out)
• crashes when starting another/the same game after this (only sometimes, with no
  appearent reason/indications)
• crashes when I change windows, to for example the Webbrowser, and switch back to
  Dolphin after some time (that might be wx related, since it shouldn't be doing
  anything but drawing the GUI by that time).

for me it crashes all the time when stopping in single core mode. Dual core mode seems
fine.

really ? i thought i fixed the single core crashes :/
I'm also using WinXP x86 and stopping seems fine most of the time, however i
sometimes get an odd wxwidget crash when i stop a game :
It'll take like 2 or 3 seconds to stop the game instead of being almost instantaneous
and it'll crash as soon as I try to resize or move the window around, though i'm able
to double click the gamelist to start another game just fine if i don't try to move
or resize the window...

In dual core mode crashes too.

It's happend to me too. But if I save game and press ESC button after that, I can
close to the render window :D

Issue 1343 has been merged into this issue.

Issue 1336 has been merged into this issue.

For me, it seem to happen only with the OPENGL plugin.
When I use direct3d, I have'nt encounter this stop crash yet.

i don't r3emember in what revision... but the problem was gone... but in the latest
revision the problem was reappeared

Possible fix for the OpenGL crash:
http://pastie.org/740223
I'm not exactly sure if we should keep it like that, or remove the overall "if
(s_PluginInitialized)"-Check altogether and just let it happen. Shutdown should take
care of the rest, shouldn't it?

The seemingly randomness of that one was due to the check performed, and possibly a
context switch right afterwards.
The DX9 Plugin should not have this issue, since the same piece of code is commented
out there, with a comment that it appearently works without YieldCPU.

Video_AccessEFB might show the same issue with a bit of timing.

I'm not exactly sure how/when Common::AtomicLoadAcquire works or not, but since
Shutdown also sets the two flags that are waited on...why does it still block?

Issue 1796 has been merged into this issue.

Now DX9 shutdown should be clean (as far as I've tested), but OpenGL shutdown is not.
I've got one clue is that if you pause the game first, before stopping the game, then
OpenGL shutdown is clean.

I'm afraid it isnt. DebugFast x64 r4758 on Win7 x64, ATI Radeon HD5770, JIT, DC on.

• DX9, Render-to-main false, Close render-window with "X": Main window responsive, no
  Gamelist, Rendering window hangs (and the only way is to kill Dolphin).
• DX9, RTM false, Click "Stop" in main window: Works fine.
• DX9, RTM true, Click "Stop" in main window: CPU wait returned: WAIT_OBJECT_0, 5
  seconds "hang", Emu wait returned: WAIT_TIMEOUT. Other than that, works fine.
• OGL, RTM false, Close render-window with "X": Main window responsive, no Gamelist,
  Rendering window hangs (same as DX9).
• OGL, RTM false, Click "Stop" in main window: Sometimes works fine, in random cases
  Emu wait returned: WAIT_TIMEOUT. Render window hangs, no Gamelist, etc. Mainly
  happens when starting the game and quickly clicking Stop (which is rather unlikely
  when using Dolphin as intended?)
• OGL, RTM true, Click "Stop" in main window: Emu wait returned: WAIT_TIMEOUT. Partly
  responsive, but hangs soon after that.

The cases with RTM false and closing the render window, leaving it hanging while the
main window responds is usually accompanied by an access violation on the CPU/Main
Thread (inside JITted code).

I also noticed that DX9 RTM keeps the aspect ratio, while OGL does not. In a small
window, where the bottom part is the Log window, DX9 shows a correctly ratio'd game
(at very small size), while OGL fills the whole remaining space (ignoring aspect
ratio, stretching the image).

I had the same problem to stop my games
I try to find it
http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/source/diff?spec=svn4803&r=4803&format=side&path=/trunk/Source/Core/Core/Src/Core.cpp
taken over the old code.
stop my game works has the normal
sorry for tradition

r4860 might have fixed this, someone please verify it.

OPENGL still crashes on any stop function.(Although I only have OPENGL 1.2 card) As
of r4861 it no longer crashes in full screen pressing ESC in DX. May be related to
Issue 1961(my issue) ESC has the same function as pressing stop. The new issue since
it doesn't crash is that the question box now appears behind the full screen. So you
can press ESC as much as you want and have a 100, do you want to stop emulation
question boxes. Only way to exit out is alt tab then press yes.

DX9 still crashes on stop or ESC in JIT32Bit

Issue 2017 has been merged into this issue.

Issue 2073 has been merged into this issue.

In dolphin.log, it seems like the sound causes the crashes.

This line can be seen plus a few extra after it closes correctly.

This is what shows up when it doesn't. The video shut down is the normal line above
the stopping audio logging/already stopped. When it fails it stops at Video shutdown
followed by a cannot find file(although im not sure if this part is caused by the
shutdown or restart, if its the shutdown then video could be the issue but the log
stats that the video is shutdown... and I think those are times on the left side)

I didn't get a crash in a while now.
Anyone is against closing this bug?

some random crash on stop still happeens even in r5000

I wonder why WxUtils::Explore is called when you press stop button.

Since this is a very generic report, please make other more specific crash on exit
bugs as blocking rather than merging them in.
When you merge in a bug people don't look at the information provided in the original
bug report, which just make all the crash bugs into white noise we will never figure.
