GameCube IPL always reports incorrect hash
0%
Description
Game Name?
GameCube Main Menu
MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Verify tab, Verify Integrity button)
FAE2B558FFC344467170520D62177E5C
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
Dolphin always displays the message, "The IPL file is not a known good dump." Checking my file, it exactly matches the hash that it tells me it should be.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
I don't know why my instance does this, I need help finding that out. From my perspective, all I do is load the IPL using the menu bar.
Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
5.0-21606
Is the issue present in the latest stable version?
Yes, I tried on the last beta, 5.0-21460
(Unless I really am I supposed to download the legacy "stable" version? I'm new here, sorry.)
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
Windows 10, Version 22H2
Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
I'll prove I'm not just an idiot, I suppose. I have Dolphin running under the directory "Z:\Emulator Stuff\Dolphin-x64". I use portable.txt to keep all the files portable. I have the IPL placed under Dolphin's directory as "User\GC\USA\IPL.bin".

That message is reporting that the current crc32 hash of your IPL is 6d740ae7 (so, it makes sense that you get the same hash when you compute it that way). That's not one of the correct hashes, which Dolphin lists here, and come from Redump's GameCube BIOS Datfile available at http://redump.org/downloads/.

Oh, alright. (I guess I turned out to be the idiot, anyway.) It's rather confusing that they give you a hash like that after talking about needing a good dump. For so long, that implied to me that it was trying to tell me what it wanted. Thank you for your response, and I hope someone can consider clarifying that message.
