This could be processor specific; that's my current worry.

Tested with Xenoblade, Paper Mario and Skies of Arcadia.

Skies crashed Dolphin the first time, the subsequent 4 times I tried it opened just fine.

I don't like that it crashed once out of 5. Can we get a core dump on those?

Just gotta tell me how to do that lol, coding related stuff and dumps are not my specialty by any means.

Also want to note that I tested 4828 because that's what I saw in the message body, not 4796 like the title says. Whoops.

Doesn't matter. Whenever Dolphin (master, any master build) crashes, core dumps are useful due to the symbol server. When it crashes, open task manager without closing the emulator (Dolphin Has Stopped Working window remaining up) and find Dolphin.exe in the crashed state. Right click it, and Create Dump File. Locate the dump file, make sure you note what version it was created on, compress it and upload it.

Gotcha, so it's too late for me to do it for that specific crash then.

Tried 10 more times with Skies with no issue. Tried the other 2 mentioned games that I have with no issue. Tried at least 7 other games with no issue.

First one might have been just a fluke.

For me using OpenGL with those games happens every time...here's a dump of 4.0-4833 https://www.dropbox.com/s/yx42qvvthvead6p/4.0-4833%20OGL%20crash.rar?dl=0

I forgot to mention that my Nvidia driver version is 347.09 (OpenGL 4.5)

Ok, now I've understood where's the problem: for those games I've set deterministic dual core to "fake completion" in game propreties to avoid dual core problems, so starting with 4.0-4796 with that option enabled they crash, otherwise they don't.
Title of the issue should be renamed after this discover...
