I don't have issues with Crash Bandicoot the Wrath of Cortex with dualcore.

Have created a PR to help with this error: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/1878
The External Frame Buffer setting must be enabled for this PR to work. Either Virtual or Real is fine. The setting can be found in Dolphin's graphics settings, under Hacks.
A Windows test build can be downloaded here: https://dl.dolphin-emu.org/prs/pr-1878-dolphin-latest-x64.7z

I'm currently using 5.0-rc-19 and I have this issue playing "Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance" so the issue is not fixed.

Sorry for not responding earlier. I opened this this issue. I still get those error messages but now there are much fewer of them.

Does the game actually crash or does it popup and then continue as if nothing happened? Also make sure it shows up in single core if possible.

I did some testing with v5.0-2577 and Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance. The error message pops up only if you have dual core option enabled. The error message dialog box has Yes and No button. If you click Yes, the game continues to run and nothing seems to be wrong but... I left the game running in background for a couple of hours and I got a bunch of error messages. First 2 were "FIFO is overflowed by gatherpipe!...".
3rd error message:
"GFX FIFO: Unknown Opcode (0x13 @ 0000000016CE680F, preprocess=false).
This means one of the following:
- The emulated GPU got desynced, disabling dual core can help
- Command stream corrupted by some spurious memory bug
- This really is an unknown opcode (unlikely)
- Some other sort of of bug" 4th error message: "Illegal command 13 CPBase: 0x007c0a00 CPEnd: 0x007d09e0 CPHiWatermark: 0x0000c000 CPLoWatermark: 0x00008000 CPReadWriteDistance: 0x00010020 CPWritePointer: 0x007c4bc0 CPReadPointer: 0x007c4ba0 CPBreakpoint: 0x00000000 bFF_GPReadEnable: true bFF_BPEnable: false bFF_BPInt: false bFF_Breakpoint: false bFF_GPLinkEnable: true bFF_HiWatermarkInt: false bFF_LoWatermarkInt: true" After I closed 4th error message the game seemed to be frozen and the screen was black.

Seems like the typical "dualcore is bad at everything" issue.
