Emulator

Game Name?

SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman

Game ID?

GSQE78

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.

The game always hangs on the first loading screen with the licensing/copyright info without Skip EFB Access from CPU. Enabling the hack somehow bypasses this screen and lets the game boot, but causes issues such as a black screen instead of a title menu.

What did you expect to happen instead?

Should boot properly without enabling a gross hack that causes graphical glitches.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start game without Skip EFB Access from CPU checked
2. Watch it drop to 1%/0FPS and hang on the Licensed by Nintendo screen

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?

4.0-4368, 4.0-5110, 4.0-5118

Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?

Does not work on any builds tested. The oldest test on the wiki is 4.0.2 which does not mention having to use Skip EFB Access, though it does list crashing as an issue.
