Emulator

C'mon! Be a little more descriptive!

What game, pc specs, etc.

sorry...
I was playing Paper Mario:TTYD on a 2.76 GHz Intel Qual core with 3 GB of RAM
running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2.
Dolphin r2183 was in DC mode and I was experimenting with njoy v0.4 using a ppjoy
virtual joystick which was being fed input by glovepie v0.3 from a Wiimote with a
classic controller attached to the bottom expansion port. I had just finished
talking to professor frankly (though this has nothing to do with the fence problem)
and was walking around in his house. After the error occured, I clicked [yes] to
contine and everything continued to work fine.

Tell me if I left anything out.

Some how I think DC mode is tossing wrong values to that function that dont effect
the game play. Multi other games do this including MP1 and RE2. I added those values
I was getting to the case and no longer have an issue. Not sure of the root cause
tho.

ok. Hope I helped.

this problem also occur in mario and sonic at the olympic games (Wii), halfway
through either one of the sports event you will get unknown pointer address report
this to the devs 00000047 Continue?
[yes] [no]"

My PC specs: Pentium D 950 3.4ghz, 4gig ram, winxp pro sp3 32bit, nvidia 7900gtx
512mb, playing using wiimote. dolpin svn 2217, DC, QO,pal60,progressive,JIT enabled

also it will crash after that error

I got 00000067 on Paper Mario once.

thanks, the latest svn 2251 fixed the unknown pointer address for me in the mario and
sonic at the olympic games

No, I'm still getting an error on True Crime: Streets of LA in r2255. This happens in
both DolphinWx and WxIL, and happens whether or not dual core is enabled. The address
given is 0000003E. It seems to have something to do with cars, especially when you
try to drive one. Using OpenGL, DSP-HLE, and nJoy 0.3.

I also got the 00000047 while playing Paper Mario (NGC) on r2276. WinXP 32bit, Intel
Q6600 2GB Nvidia gt8600. Used njoy 0.3.

This patch solves this issue:

http://paste2.org/p/147311

Thanks for this! It fixes super monkey ball (1) which would get infinite messages
(many different values).

Thanks. I've discovered there's no need of that Panic message. Also, lately it was
hanging the emu when I was playing Pokemon Colosseum, so... I just disabled it and
woalá. No more panic message and the game is fully playable again.

It's NOT a solution. We'll just have to handle case 0x47

No, I'm not saying it's a solution, but it's a temporal fix, since its disabling
doesn't cause any other issue.

marc... Please post the infinite values here. It might either be a random thingie or
something we are not handling. Post at least 8 pointer addresses. Try r2342, it
should disclose more info.

mario and sonic at the oylimpic games
unknown pointer address prefix 20, report this to the devs:0x20000000
continue?

also the latest svn 2342 runs very slow. fps drops quite alot....

Got prefix 76 0x76BF85BD on Metroid Prime, OGL plugin JIT32IL build r2343.

Also 0x497FD0BD

This hapenns almost always when swapping in and out of the scan visor.

0x7F00000

0x051D9BFF

ok, I'll test mb1 in a couple days (no access to computer right now, commenting from my
wii ^_^).

Probably a good idea to disable the message in this week's (and subsequent) weekly svn
build(s), as it most likely won't be fixed for a while, and the message is of no use to
the average user.

p.s. @ federelli: go easy on the comments, you're clogging my inbox ;).

The other problem is, when this message pops up, it hangs the emulator, and badly.
So that's the other reason I've disabled it temporarily until you guys find a
solution.

I don't know whether these are random or not, but if it runs when we ignore them I
guess I could just make it a log function instead of a panic alert.

yes, log function would be much better. As soon as you implement it, I'll test mkb1
and tell you the values. What are these pointer addresses anyway?

Some are random and some are deliberate addresses which we probably don't know what
they do.

I think mkb1 is fixed now. It no longer gives errors, but this might just be because
of them being disabled (have not been able to keep tabs on svn lately, so I wouldn't
know).

Got a lot of this errors in Metroid 1 here's one of them
Unknown pointer addres prefix 07 peport this to devs: 0x07830000

Please can we change this to a log function?

Abot MP1
to get this errors try to switthing over all visors

This happens with True Crime: Streets of LA on r2536 x86 and r2559 x64. This game is
fully playable with TLB hack, I beat the entire game before the revision came out
that implemented these errors. Since then the only way to play the game is to hold
the enter key down because the alert boxes pop up almost infinitely (especially when
driving), and this greatly reduces emu speed.
It's always the same; "Unknown pointer address 3E, report this to the devs: 0x3EXXXXXX"

I would say, yes, make this a log function instead of a Warning box and try to make
sure there's no significant impact of logging these.

ok. I'll bring it up on irc and see what the guys see. We'll probably end up making
it an ErrorLog thing, as that will not slow down the release build.

nakee is finishing the logmanager, so it will be a day or two. He says that "then
I'll make panic alerts optional".

Issue 733 has been merged into this issue.

As of r2680, if you have show panic boxes disabled, instead of asking whether to
continue or not the emu just crashes now. If you have it enabled it works just like
before.

Try now

Yeah no problems anymore. This issue could probably be labeled as "fixed" or at least
workaround. Thanks for that, that improved playability of games that have that issue
since around r2200.

Fixed? Metroid Pime spams this every time you enter/leave the visor, or enter/leave
morph ball mode.

It sometimes enters an endless loop, hanging the game, it is the only thing
preventing the game from being fully playable.

r2728

… Did you turn off panic warnings in the settings dialog? recommend that be set to
off by default.

All that does is make the message not appear, it still sometimes enters an endless
loop resulting in staring at a white screen (massive ammount of light blue lines,
fill up the screen making it white) at <1 fps.

safe texture cache should fix this in metroid prime.

Doesn't at all, almost everytime u swap in or out of visor/morph ball, game either
hangs forever, or hangs for 20-30s.

What does the log say about it?

And when it hangs it's massive spams of unkown pointer adresses, over hundreds.

I mean when you start dolphin using the /d swith in the command line. It has a
window that shows messages about errors and information. What does that say when the
slowdown starts (that it doesn't normally say).

39:17:312 E: * Warning: Unknown pointer address prefix 0A, report this to the devs:

39:21:468 E: * Warning: Unknown pointer address prefix 0A, report this to the devs:
0x0A65B600
Continue?

Is almost always at the end before it crahses, of all pointer addresses that's the
one it almost always hangs on, or takes incredibly long to recover from.

a sample of those hundreds?

on pastebin, please.

Can't copy, emulator hangs and i can't move the mouse while it's happening.

It's written to a file...User/Logs/dolphin.log, I believe.

Enjoy the Spam.

ok, looks like your usual "not implemented yet" type of thing. When did this problem
start?

1500s maybe, can't remember properly, it didn't happen back then that's for sure.

ok, so this is nothing new.

If you can find the exact revision it started, chances are pretty good we can fix it.
I'm not asking you to, nor expecting you to, it's just that if you really want it
fixed, that's how you can help.

Won't be possible since previous revs are completely unstable on Metroid.

oh...well that won't work then...

Stuff in Metroid has been looked into eventually.

It went from Video issues, to menue issues, to DC issues, to STC issues, to the
issues it has now, someone will fix em :P.

Well i can't make it hang the emulator in r2316, i only got 1 pointer error in 10-20
minutes of swapping modes, whereas in more recent revs it hanged on the first minute
or sooner.

well that's a start.

ok, I'll look at it later, gtg now.

great job, btw!

In r2454 it hanged on the first swaps also, so around those revs i guess, good luck.

update: in r2343 not even 1 warning.
update: in 2390 shittons of warnings, can't seem to make it crash.

I hope i knocked off a few hundred revs for you to look at at least.

Use this memcard for easy testing, in newer revs just staring at that door and doing
swaps makes it hang. In previous revs to get warnings you might need to get your fps
to drop some, open the door for it.

You swap visors with the directional pad. And enter morph-ball with X.

Sorry, can't do any testing myself, don't have the game :p.

More info.

This happens more often using Copy EFB to RAM, which is needed for the thermal visor
to work. It also happens using the hack, but it's much less likely to hang.

i get the unknown pointer address prefix 41,devs: 0x4174EFC0 how do i fix it

You can go to settings and disable panic alerts...

the game still crashes afterwards i want to fix that its tales of symphonia 2

Unless you can point us to the exact revision that started it (or within less than
about 10), we really can't help help you. sorry.

Im a nube...so montecrudo...how do you patch the paste ont the game?

I got the issue while playing Z:WW in the God-Temple mid-game.
When using IL.exe I get 0C address prefix when returning with the second statue to
the central chamber by opening the door. This is reproducable and when i hit ENTER
continously, i see that the central chamber i am entering has missing geometry data.
When playing with the ordinary exe, i get a "BackPatch - failed to disassemble MOV
instruction" at emulated address cc0a5360 and it says "no support for operand size 8"

I'm using the newest public build 3972

Hey, sorry for bringing this thread back, but i have the same problem on PM:TTYD
my system specs: PEntium (R) Dual-Core T4200 @ 2.00Ghz 2.00Ghz, RAM 4.00GB, currently using Dolphin r7124.
i'm having the problem while going up a pipe in chapter one, before beating the golden fuzzy. It crashes.
Any advice?

i have the same problem with super smash bros brawl when i play with the pokemon trainer,snake and olimar and i get this avise
unknow pointer adress perfix c5 report to devs
continue yes no
and i put yes and it put the screen black

when i try to play monster hunter 3 in online mode that error appear why?

I am seeing a similar problem. When playing Super Mario Wii on Dolphin for OS X, I always, without fail, get "Unknown pointer 0xf737cede" when I complete level 4-3 Then the app crashes. I've saved a state there and tried continuing with different options disabled, but it always crashes.

If you'd like I can post the save state for the game.

im geting this prob too, how do you fix it?? it still gives a dont send error, that panic message thing dont work

Well Im Getting The Exact Same Thing While Loading up(Well It Says Clearing Code Cache) The Urbz:Sims In The City
Sooooo Annoying , Im Windows 7 , Intel Celeron T3300 Dual Core Processor 2GB/GH RAM I dont Know :/ And 400GB
