Description

Game Name?

New Super Mario Bros. But I assume this happens with other games.

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

SMNE01

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

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When Retroachievements are on and you activate a JSON file mod from the menu, Riivolution mods will crash and if you click okay, It will freeze the window and refuse to close, rendering accessing desktop impossible unless you restart. Clicking ignore for this session will just result in a black screen, and you can quit out.

However, the bug DOES NOT OCCUR if you play the unmodded game first. Very strange.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Activate retro achievements
Play a mod preset Json file WITHOUT playing the unmodded version first during your play session.
I assume small controller mods don't count. I've encountered this bug with Newer Super Mario Bros. And Mario's Last Adventure Wii riivolution mods

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

Yes. Dolphin 2509-200

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

Unknown

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.)

Unknown

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

N/A

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

Ryzen 7950x3d
4080 Super
Win 11

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