What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

I'm the author of iplboot. Dolphin can be helpful to test, and I tried throwing my full ROM build at it, but I was surprised to see that it just crashed when the standalone DOL works just fine.

It turns out that if I pad the file to 2MiB, it boots just fine. You can grab one of the *.gcb files from releases to test with, just rename it to IPL.bin and put it in the usual location. The files are small because they're intended to be flashed on modchips, so it's not necessary to pad them out to the full size.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  • "Install" a homebrew IPL ROM in Dolphin's data directory
  • Tools > Load GameCube Main Menu > <region>

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

Haven't tried.

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

I'm testing with 5.0.r20347 (the latest in Arch as of this writing).

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.)

[First broken version number here (if applicable)]

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.]

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

Arch Linux, i5 8250U with integrated graphics.

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