Description

Game Name?

Before testing, all games listed below were advertised as redumps and were CRC verified as redumps:

  1. Dragon Drive, 2. Generation of Chaos Exceed, 3. Kidou Senshi Gundam - Senshitachi no Kiseki, 4. Mutsu to Nohohon and 5. Gakuen Toshi Vara Noir Roses cannot be extracted and repacked into a new GCM. Regardless of whether files are unadulterated or not, the issue persists upon loading it in Dolphin. Trying to play the game or go into a new game will hardlock. The error is in the following format, but between games, the filestart and line numbers are different:

DVDPrepareStreamAsync(): Specified start address (filestart(0xabcdefg) + offset(0x0)) is not 32KB aligned in "dvdfs.c" on line xxxx

Because Japanese Gamecube games are not well documented, there is a high probability that other games not listed above also suffer from the same issue.

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

  1. GD5JB2
  2. GIFJDQ
  3. GGAJB2
  4. GTMJDA
  5. GVWJDQ

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

[Put MD5 Hash here]

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

[Attach any fifologs if possible, write a description of fifologs and screenshots here to assist people unfamiliar with the game.]
