This seems to be a duplicate of issue 3027.

But is issue 3027 exactly the same issue as issue 2498?

This needs sorted.

Yes, it is a dup of Issue 3027, but NOT of 2498 (which is a completely different platform and issue).

CC'ing skid, he should know why he merged issue 3027 into issue 2498 ;)

Several people on the forums are still reporting this on latest revisions. Many have stated that switching to JITIL resolves the issue. Can we confirm that? Then adjust the bug title to reflect that.

Posting an NTSC memory card save near the area would be very helpful.

Still need that memory card save if possible.

the JITIL Fix's the problem, and also, it works faster :)

Updated by wespipes69 over 11 years ago

I don't know if it's faster anymore and I think the JIT is just more stable and actively being worked on. I never see anything about the JITIL anymore. Eihter way, that's just a workaround, not a fix.

If it wasn't obvious enough yet, post the memory card save if you've got it.

All I can offer are these complete save files: http://www.wiisave.com/index.php?cid=118

From our wiki:
In version 3.0, the game consistently freezes when your character walks to the right button switch in the puzzle soon after the first mini-boss. This hang only affects the JIT recompiler engine, so two options are available: (1) switch to the JITIL recompiler for this one part, or (2) get Ashley to step on the plate instead.

Ah yes, I get this too. When i read the title "Castle Puzzle" I thought we were talking about the puzzle where you have to move the several tiles/squares around till you get the picture right. You also have to add your own small square to complete the puzzle.

This is the issue we're talking about: http://i.imgur.com/rsl3T.jpg

Touching/walking on the right yellow trigger causes the crash. I would post the save myself, but I've already passed that part and triggered the platforms.

For what it's worth, this is an issue as far back as r5000.

So is this fixed then? I saw another bug that looked identical and it was resolved as fixed.

i agree this is boring and i simply dont know how to use the "JITIL recompiler" to avoid the freeze :-(

Actions #18

Updated by comexk over 10 years ago

It's right there under Config.

However, if you get me a save state from right before the crash, I'll fix it on JIT.

i found it ! :)

"However, if you get me a save state from right before the crash"

@comexk, I have a save state but it's over 20 MB, even as a ZIP file. Please suggest a way for me to send it to you.

Thanks to everybody for your work on this emulator.

Can you post here when a new Dolphin fixing this problem will be released?

(a direct link for download would be nice too)

Thanks for your efforts

@comexk, here's the link to the saved state, I hope 4shared is ok for you. Sorry this took so long.

@comexk, have you had a chance to look at this?

Also a more general question: has anyone tried stepping on the LEFT yellow switch, leaving Ashley there, then go step on the right switch afterward? I admit I normally always did it the other way around.

I found more reports of this, definitely a very annoying glitch. Is that savestate for the GCN version?

Actions #27

Updated by mcamisk almost 10 years ago

@mperry5 yes I have tried placing Ashley on the left switch first 5 times just to make sure and it still crashes when Leon nears the right switch.

Actions #28

Updated by abdwadams almost 10 years ago

@JMC4789 Yes that savestate is from the European version on Gamecube.

Updated by JMC4789 almost 10 years ago

Bleh, I'll have to get there myself; NTSC here.
