closed"Use PAL60 Mode (EuRGB60)" setting becomes disabled when playing an NTSC game for a few minutes
0%
Description
Game Name?
All American games.
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
#9825 strikes back (sorta).
When playing an NTSC game for a few minutes, the "Use PAL60 Mode (EuRGB60)" setting becomes disabled.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Have the "Use PAL60 Mode (EuRGB60)" setting enabled.
- Launch NTSC game.
- Keep it open for a few minutes.
- Close the game.
- Close Dolphin.
- Before closing Dolphin, the setting is still enabled.
- If you open a PAL game before closing Dolphin, then the issue doesn't happen. (On the other hand, opening an NTSC game makes no difference, even if you close it immediately.)
- Open Dolphin.
- The setting is now disabled.

If the issue isn't present in the latest release, 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.)
Didn't bisect.
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
I'm running Linux, but I saw someone on Discord running into this issue on Windows too.

Yeah this has been an issue for years, but I haven't been able to figure out why it happens.

Fixed by https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/12959.
(Note that the reproduction steps above aren't entirely accurate: for instance, an easier to reproduce it was to open, close, then open again an NTSC game.)

Probably this is related and still happens on latest dev build
