What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
I've been attempting to play this game for about 3 days now, and every time I start it on Dolphin it plays normally once. After I stop the emulation and go to start again regularly later Dolphin itself freezes up and crashes, this is then repeated any time I ever try to start the game.
What did you expect to happen instead?
Normal play and emulation of the game.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Download Rom for FE:PoR
2.Begin emulation/start game then press escape and stop emulation
3.Attempt emulation again
Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
I have attempted this and replicated the effect on Dolphin 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and 4.0-3691
Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work? Any other version of Dolphin I've used thus far(as listed above) solve the issue for one period of play until the emulation is stopped.
What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)
Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
I can repeat the bug and screencap it if need be. I haven't messed with configuration files much thus far other than setting some of them to the suggested from the performance guide. However the bug was present before I messed with the configuration files.

This is a driver bug that has something to do with Intel HDs. Because you didn't list your computer's specs, I can't really confirm anything, but I'm guessing that's the problem.
The game runs absolutely fine on repeated playthroughs for me. You can try using other video backends and seeing if that helps (D3D should?) If you're using Windows, after stopping the game after a successful run, you can go into My Documents/Dolphin Emulator and delete the ShaderCache folder and see if that allows you to run the game again.
If that fixes it, you don't need to report the issue again, as we already have a report open. Thank you for your report, and please update us on if this is the problem.
