What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
The emulator hardlocks with error message "Unknown Pointer 0x19cda9e4 PC 0x800cec24 LR 0x800f5700" (program counter and link register can be different values) after revision ac54c6a4e2f6790f628f8a8112ff1940732f5068 by magumagu "Make address translation respect the CPU translation mode" when the second place car reaches the second checkpoint of "Airport Terminal 1 & 2" on "Rain" conditions.
What did you expect to happen instead?
I expected dolphin not to throw errors and have to be closed with system monitor.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
These are the steps I used during bisect
- Select single race, choose Supercar w/ automatic transmission
- Choose stage "Airport Terminal 1 & 2" and set conditions to "Rain"
- Play to the second checkpoint. I always hit the second checkpoint with boost and in first place.
- When the person in second place reaches the second checkpoint, the emulator throws infinite error messages and hardlocks.
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?

From a comment on the PR, magumagu mentions that Toy Story 3 was trying to read from address 0x801fb6d4 which is very similar to, if not the exact same address I've seen before during the error while I was bisecting it. Not sure if this is particularly relevant but I thought it should be mentioned.

Some observations I've made:
- Any car with any transmission works.
- The same problem occurs on reverse, but at a different point on the track.
- The problem occurs when you reach a certain point on the track, not just when 2nd place reaches the 2nd checkpoint. In forward, it is almost exactly where the starting point for the Crash junction "Out of Control Tower" is. In reverse, it is at the end of the first bend.
- Happens with both Night and Rain.

Yes, as far as I've seen that's always what it is. I just tried it again on Night conditions with a completely different car and got the same error with the same unknown pointer.

I'll take a look at this, thanks for the information.

I can't reproduce the issue. Do you have any cheat codes enabled?
Updated by guitaristocrat3 over 9 years ago
I just compiled latest (4.0-6436) again and tried it. The only setting I had that wasn't default was 2x native res, but I just changed it back to native and used the same steps listed in issue report and it happened again, same hardlock and message.
Updated by Anonymous over 9 years ago
To clarify, this only happens when panic handlers are enabled.

Got it. Not a crash or hardlock, just dumb way of handling panic handlers. Now to figure out why it's happening.
Updated by phire over 9 years ago
Reproduced.
The offending getPointer is here:
https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/69963dc4b0383732b0c55787845c958033242d25/Source/Core/VideoCommon/VertexLoaderManager.cpp#L236
I suspect this game has always had a bug and provided a invalid pointer to a vertex buffer in the display list, but before that commit dolphin just ignored it.
