Your answers are there!
Game Name?
GameCube's BIOS (tested with PAL BIOS)
Game ID?
What went wrong?
Dolphin crashes when loading the GC BIOS, only in D3D.
What did you expect to happen instead?
Run GC BIOS normally, then load the game.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Don't assume we have played the game and know its level names. Be as
detailed as possible.]
- Start any GC game with D3D backend, BIOS included.
- Dolphin crashes right at the begining of BIOS animation.
- Enjoy the crash
Dolphin 3.5 and Dolphin 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs. Have you tested with the latest version from
http://dolphin-emu.org/download ?
It seems that this bug exists since a very long time. Although the BIOS video was buggy in D3D9, it was still working and not crashing. I've been down to 3.0 (final release), D3D11 always makes Dolphin crashes. It works fine with OpenGL.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
I can reproduce this bug since 3.0 final.
Which version of Dolphin used to work?
Has it ever worked with D3D11?
What are your PC specifications (example: Operating System, CPU and GPU)?
Win7 x64 SP1, Intel Core i7, AMD HD5850 GPU.
64 or 32 bit Operating System?
x64
64 or 32 bit Dolphin?
Both

I have no crash with D3D. Win7 x64, Intel core i5, GeForce GTX 660. Maybe it happens only with ATi GPUs i don't khow because i have no ATi GPU.

I have no idea, I don't have an nVidia GPU.

Pal bios needs real xfb to work properly, with real xfb it won't crash with d3d. Unfortunately bios is not a game to set it's gameconfig to real xfb...

My PAL BIOS work, as USA and JAP. Maybe yours (Paskal.j...@hotmail.fr) is corrupted.

I tested with yours: I have the same issue, as expected because it works just fine with OpenGL.
Kostamar... may have found the root cause of the issue...

Can you write settings of your dolphin in Graphics==>Hacks?
Mine:
off - Skip EFB Access from CPU
on - Ignore format change
EFB copies - Texture (sometimes changes to RAM)
Texture cache - Fast (mostly)
External Frame Buffer - Virtual
Other:
on -Fast Depth calculation, OpenMP decoder.
off - rest settings.

off - Skip EFB Access from CPU
off - Ignore format change
EFB copies - Texture
Texture cache - centered
External Frame Buffer - Disabled
Other:
on -Fast Depth calculation
off - rest settings.
Changing the External Frame Buffer to Virutal fixed the BIOS issue, BUT some games like F-ZERO GX are unplayable (game reboots very often, like 10-30 seconds).

Interresting: disabling External Frame Buffer with OpenGL makes Dolphin crashes too.

About rebooting: strange.
About EFB: i had the same with D3D and OGL untill i switched to virtual.

- Status changed from New to Questionable
Since it is a matter of proper settings i am changing it's status to questionable (xfb is needed).
