Emulator

Which rev did these crashes start happening? What game are you trying?

I dont exactly know, I was using r7191 just fine... I already saw some people in the dolphin forums with the same problem with the latest revs.

Also, its not when starting a game, but when starting the program itself :P

That shouldnt make it invalid I suppose. We are using different Windows/computers, so the other people with the same problem must have something in common with me specs-wise or driver-wise.

Also, its strange since it didnt happent back in r7191, I know that's about 100 revs back...but still.

You haven't given us enough information to even begin to resolve this issue. For all we know, it might be a problem on your local machine (as it does not occur for everybody). Your report sounds more like a support ticket/helpdesk call and you should add to the thread that you read in the forum. The issue tracker is for logging verified bugs inside Dolphin.

Have you tried installing Dolphin into a new directory?

..."Enough information"... I pasted what the log said, gave my specs, explained the problem. I believe that was enough information. Im aware that this is an issue tracker, and that's why I reported the issue, I dont pretend to start a conversation here.

And yes, I ALWAYS extract new revs into different folders. I just extracted the current rev, tried to run the dolphin.exe and it crashes with the common "Has stopped working" message.

I dont really think that could be a local problem (As I said, I can run previous revs just fine), but I believe that may be something that SOME users may be missing (or that they have, for example X driver version for X thing).

I have the latest drivers for...everything I have, so that would be kinda rare.

Which rev did these crashes start happening? If we don't know this, it's a needle in a haystack situation.

A friend had same issue and asked my help.

I found this thread wich is not helping :p

So finally i figured out a way to prevent that crash, start dolphin.exe with compatibility mode for windws nt 4, only that method works.

Anyway, try running (a build of) r7220 and (a build of) r7245, then tell us whether there's a crash that occurs during start-up or not.

The x86 builds of both revisions on the official website don't seem to be borked, by the way... (not talking about this issue but about another one)

Tried r7220, I asume that r7245 will give the same result:

Crashed, the exceptioninfo.txt gives:

Unhandled Exception
Code: 0xC0000005
Call stack info:
0x03C01001 : ?

Also, the crash says that Dolphin stopped working with this additional info (Sorry about the spanish stuff):

I'll try previous revisions, I'll post my results in a while.

r7212, crashed too.

I cant seem to find a compiled r7211 or r7210, but r7209 gives the same result.

r7199...crashed! Well, at least we got it on the r7191-r7199 range.

r7195 works just fine. Cant seem to find a download for r7196,r7197 or r7198 though.

I deleted the files in the User/Config (As I said, I extract every revision to different folders so I can keep the revs separate) and it gives me the same crash.

About the SDL*.dll, well...there is SDL.dll and SDL.1.3.dll in the Dolphin root folder, but if Im not wrong, older revision also had the same dll's. And If Im not wrong, dolphin will not start if these arent present.

Try temporarily moving the SDL dll's somewhere else (Dolphin uses DirectInput now and not SDL). The SDL dll's shouldn't be needed anymore. Let us know if that fixes the issue.

It says: "The program cant start because its missing SDL.dll in this system. Try to reinstall blah blah blah."

I think that Dolphin is still depending on these DLL.

Also if this helps, I followed the thing that Guile93 said: "So finally i figured out a way to prevent that crash, start dolphin.exe with compatibility mode for windws nt 4, only that method works."

And yes. Strangely it works that way... But, you know, the issue still remains without that. And it kinda worries me :P

Please fix this problem!

Do you have any gamepads in the Game Controllers control panel? If so, would you please try removing the gamepads and retrying?

Could you please give this build of r7198M (http://www.mediafire.com/?1k9g3uwd0yfmffs) a try? I have joined a .pdb file along with the executable. Hopefully it is enough for the back trace to be descriptive...

My local modifications shouldn't be relevant to this issue (which occurs during start-up).

To be clear, run this build and tell if it crashes on start-up. If it did, open the "exceptioninfo.txt" file and copy-paste its content here.

I wonder if adding that .pdb file next to the executable will/would do anything good... :P crossing fingers

Anybody can help me?
This is a huge problem every time the press on a game and then I wait a bit so it happens suddenly stops Dolphin emulator by itself.
Every so kind and try as best you can and can fix this problem I'm not the only one with this problem. This happened with Dolphin r7281.

Specifications:
Processor: Intel Core i5 760 Quad-Core 2.80Ghz 8MB Cache memory.
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB
DirectX 11, OpenCL, DirectCompute, OpenGL 4.0
Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz.
Operating Systems: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

Can you test something for me? Get a revision before 7198 and open the log window. Then check the "Word Wrap" option. Let me know if that crashes the application. If it does then 7198 is definitely the problem, and I have a fix. If not then the fix I have may still work. I will commit it soon, so test that for me too. I will let you know which revision it is.

Skidau: Yes, I do have a gamepad. Let me try without it... Nope, same thing.

Dimitri: I ran your build... Crashed and gave me:

Unhandled Exception
Code: 0xC0000005
Call stack info:
0x07251001 : ?

glennricster: Oh! Yes, that crashed a previous revision, I tried with r7191 and got an instant-crash when trying to check word wrap in the log.

Ok. I will commit a fix that will prevent the crash at start up. It won't fix the crash if you check the word wrap though. So don't do that.

Don't tell me that word-wrap was checked by default in the latest revs and it was crashing the thing :P

Hahah. That's kinda lol. I'll gladly wait for the fix :) and we'll see if that works, at least I hope so.

Fixed by r7283, Please close the issue :)

alforata: No, word wrap was not checked by default. It isn't the word wrap capability itself that was causing the issue. It is the way that the word wrap property is changed that is causing the issue. With the way it is set up now, if you have the word wrap property set it should not cause a crash. But if you change the word wrap property afterward it will still crash.

The reason I did not close the issue is because it technically is not fixed. It is just worked around. But since no devs can reproduce the issue it may as well be closed.

Issue 4202 has been merged into this issue.

well i have this problem with APP CRASH and BEX can anybody help me i want to play my emulator T ^ T

I was getting this same error, and then I saw that the game was NTSC. I unchecked the Use EuRGB60 Mode (PAL60) in the Wii tab of Dolphin Configuration and the game started.

I had this problem on x64 version, then I downloaded the x86 and that's OK!
