Emulator

My system specs:
i5 3570K @ 4.5ghz
nvidia gtx 670
16gb ram

I uploaded the save state here --> http://www.mediafire.com/?7d8r01prconxr4x

Would you please also upload your MemoryCardA.USA.raw file? Have you been using the normal in-game saves regularly?

Yes, here it is --> http://www.mediafire.com/?e6r2db3k6y5d5r9

I do indeed use normal in-game saves regularly. I only use save states occasionally.

Using your save state, I cannot return to the bridge either.

What are the steps we need to follow to reproduce this after loading from your memory card? Never got this far in this game, so you gotta give us a step by step guide.

Sure thing, here's what you do from the memory card save to get to the crash point:

1. Fly directly North for about 10-15 seconds. A cut scene will automatically take place, followed by the start of a ship battle.
2. During the first round, use a torpedo first and space it so that it hits on the "C!" column. Use "focus" on the other three turns.
3. During the second round, use the moonstone cannon during the second column to destroy the ship.
4. After the brief cut scene, you will be on the bridge of the ship. Exit the bridge, go down the stairs and attempt to enter the door behind the stairs. This is where Dolphin will always freeze or crash.

Okay, so I downloaded 3.5-1101, used the exact same settings that you listed to the letter, and I still get the same error.

The only thing I see is that the top of my screen says "JIT64 SC" and your screenshot shows "JIT64 DC". Could this have something to do with this? Or is there something else you can think of that would be causing this issue?

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate your looking into this. This is one of my all time favorite games.

"SC" means you're running the game in single-core mode. Check the "Enable Dual-core" box in the General config (or, if that's already checked, right-click the game, click "Properties", and either check or fill-in the "Enable Dual-core" box).

If all his settings + dual-core doesn't work, you may want to try redumping your game. (Since everyone asks what that means, it means to re-copy the game from its disc.)

I see now, I did have it on dual-core before but I unchecked it and idle skipping from the game properties after trying the settings above for one last shot try just in case, but still no luck.

I will try to redump the game. At this point, that's probably the issue if it worked for Skidau. Thanks

New iso creation worked. And my old one was the right size file and everything (1,425,760kb). Oh well, at least if anyone has a similar issue, you can point them to this. Thanks again.
