Emulator Issues #3467
closed
Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess freezes picture (but not music)
0%
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.In the lakebed temple, I just defeat the dungeon boss (the huge eel-ish thing) and the cutscene directly after that when the water level starts dropping the picture freezes but the music keeps on going.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Well, it's expected that the cutscene, and the game for that matter, will simply continue on. Instead I see a frozen picture and music that mocks me by continuing on.
Dolphin version with the problem? Other Dolphin version without the
problem?
Dolphin-r6294_x86_L5
Dolphin x64 SVN Revision 6331
These are both user created builds (obviously) but there were supposed to be specifically FOR LoZ TP so I don't know why they wouldn't work.
The latest untouched (as in not built upon) developer created version (Dolphin 2.0, 64bit) doesn't work either.
32-bit or 64-bit and any other build parameters?
That's all above... I think. (x86 = 32-bit but you probably already knew that.)
OS version and versions of tools/libraries used?
I'm running windows 7 64-bit. Not sure what you're wanting when you say versions of tools/libraries... um, I'm using the latest version of DirectX at least...
Please provide any additional information below.
I'm not sure why this is happening, obviously. I've tried changing my settings (hundreds upon thousands of times) That also includes all the built in CPU emulator engines and the graphics plugins Direct 3D 9 & 11, OpenGL and Software Renderer. I've also tried three different downloads of LoZ TP just to see if maybe the download itself was corrupted but that also doesn't seem to be the case. I guess it has something to do with my computer but I sure as heck don't know what.
I've seen some other issues similar to this (though the freezing doesn't happen in the same place) but seeing as how nobody ever actually solved the problem I figured I'd try my luck as well. Advice and help please! I want to finish this game dang it...

this error isnt caused be the video plugin. it works fine if you use JIT instead of JITIL.

Does this happen for the GC or WII version of the game?

You should start by using a version of Dolphin that isn't over three years old. Try a current development build. (If you're worried about speed, well, Dolphin is actually getting faster nowadays.) https://dolphin-emu.org/download/
You also might have a bad dump of the game if it's failing consistently in one spot, in which case you'll want to get the MD5 hash of your copy (on current Dolphin, you can just right-click > Properties > Info > "Calculate MD5" or whatever it is) and compare it to the one on redump.org or gametdb.com for your version of the game. If they don't match, redump the game from the original disc.
Anyway, whatever your problem is, this isn't the place for it - go ask on the forums if you need any further assistance: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/
