SSBB crashes when "Insert SD card" is ticked
0%
Description
When loading Super Smash Bros Brawl with an SD card inserted (as an SD.raw file in /User/Wii/), the game crashes in the following scenarios:
-At the end of a versus match: if one of the players has chosen the character Snake, exactly when the match ends, Dolphin crashes (freeze, no error message).
-At the beginning of a versus match: if one of the players has chosen the character Olimar; as soon as the relevant apparition animation starts (which is during the loading, before anything appears on screen, if Player 1 is human and using Olimar), Dolphin crashes, with the error message:
"ERROR: Compiling at 0. LR=8077c3a8 CTR=00000000".
I am somewhat uncertain of the exact reproducibility conditions. It happens 100% of the time if it's the first match after launching the game. In later matches, it doesn't necessarily crash.
Switching "Insert SD card" off fixes the issue, and switching it back on leads to crashes again, even if the SD card is empty.
Changing other settings does not seem to have any effect (for instance, this happens both with and without Gecko codes activated).
This happens on all versions of Dolphin I've tried (3.0 onwards, 32 and 64bit, up to and including 3.0-589).
Note: this also seems tied to being able to save. Indeed, from Dolphin 3.0-460 onwards (see revision 6fe495e1aa77730b7d26ee64a89c6ecb2ec20449), if launching Brawl through Gecko OS (which is not what I was describing above), the game is unable to create a save file (complaining "There is not enough available space in Wii system memory." [...]) and in this case the crashes do not occur. Using versions prior to 3.0-460 (including 3.0-459), the savefile can be created, and the crashes happen again (even if no savefile exists and you refuse to create one at launch).

Sorry, I should point out this is the NTSC version, ie RSBE01.
It seems the same issue happens in PAL version, RSBP01, using different characters:
-Zelda/Sheik, Ness, Lucas at startup.
-Game & Watch, King Dedede and Lucas at end of match.
Switching "Insert SD card" off fixes the problem.

Are you compiling yourself? I think I will need to get SSBB :(

No, I'm not compiling myself. Anything I can do to help?

Actually if you know how to add arguments to the shortcut or run it from command line with /D ?
Then log all fileio operations :D

OK, I compiled a DebugFast version of Dolphin and recorded all FileIO and SD operations. I attached the corresponding log.
Updated by Anonymous over 12 years ago
OK, I've attached another log. These are the file IO and file monitor operations that happen at the end of a match. This is what happens at the end of a match, when there is no crash. When there is a crash, Dolphin logs the first two lines of the attached log, and then stops and crashes.

Just curious, has anyone found a fix for this yet? The problem still exists as of 3.0-878.

I found the revision when this bug appeared if it helps. The bug showed up between Dolphin-win-x64-r4801 and Dolphin-win-x64-r4812 (Sorry It wont let link to the specific files, but they're both on SS's skydrive https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=F76F2C2B2...35891B!105).
The thing is, there was no sd card option in 4801, but there was in 4812. What I think this means is that the original sd card code had the bug or it showed up between 4801 and 4812.

Opps, that link is bad, use this:

Problem CONTINUES to exist in version 3.5 stable release. Until the issue is resolved, I'm having to tell people to not use Olimar or Snake for their battles. Major loss, considering Snake is such a fun player.
Is there no way to correct the issue at hand? What on earth is causing it?
Updated by Amigarafault over 11 years ago
Something I noticed: when using a virtual SD card loaded with Project M 2.5b (http://projectm.dantarion.com), the same crash after a fight that occurs for Snake and Olimar now happens when using Charizard and Ivysaur, which isn't something that happened before using that mod. From a quick search it seems that others are having the same issues. Beats me.
Updated by DangeresqueVI over 11 years ago
@Amigaraf: Yeah I had the same experience with 2.5b, I would go and fix it but I can only write java :(
This bug probably wont get fixed anytime soon (I inquired about it on the forums a few months ago).

I still experience this issue in ra279001472265689f1a9959f60f6b3643893e6ee.
- Enable "Insert SD Card" before launching the game.
- Launch NTSC Brawl.
- Start a game with Olimar.

Should be fixed by r4add0f55e046c4fd2943e96da127b4940543ac84.

Can anyone confirm this as being finally fixed?
Updated by Anonymous about 11 years ago
I've tried the NTSC version, and it works fine with SD card inserted, no crashes. Thanks comex.
Updated by JMC4789 about 11 years ago
Also can confirm it's no longer crashing. Going to try out Project M in dolphin.
Updated by DangeresqueVI about 11 years ago
Dude you're the best. I would make a post on smashboards if they weren't still being ddos'd :(
Updated by celeste about 11 years ago
Confirmed fixed, BUT the fix opened up a different can of worms: Loading Gecko OS with these new builds results in a BLACK SCREEN.
Gecko OS is required for running Project M, or utilizing your own character mods through the sd.raw (via Gecko codes, as many already know here).
Any reasoning for this? Can anyone successfully load Gecko OS on these latest builds?
Updated by JMC4789 about 11 years ago
It's a separate issue that's already been reported. It wasn't caused by this fix to my knowledge.
