SpongeBob SquarePants: ROTFD freezes when trying to start a new game on Debug Dolphin
0%
Description
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 freezes when trying to start a new game, or when trying to enter any area through the hidden level select. The game consistently freezes when using Debug Dolphin and consistently doesn't when using regular Dolphin. This is the only game that behaves differently depending on whether or not Debug Dolphin is being used, and I can't even begin to imagine why.
The Memory Watch, breakpoints and cheats have all been disabled/cleared, but the freeze still occurs. Every time the freeze happens, emulation always drops to the same 4FPS - 5VPS - 8%.
What did you expect to happen instead?
Expected the game not to freeze.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Don't assume we have ever played the game and know any level names. Be as
specific as possible.]
- Proceed to the main menu hub area (the Krusty Krab's kitchen.)
- Walk over to the New Game option (the red shape.)
- If using Debug Dolphin, the game should freeze. If using regular Dolphin, you will start a new game as normal and the intro cutscene will play.
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?
4.0-7202
4.0-7195
4.0-7167

The freeze also occurs when loading an existing save game.

This is an IN-GAME freeze, by the way. The actual game freezes, not Dolphin.

Deleting Documents/Dolphin Emulator does not solve the issue.

Interestingly, this error shows up when doing the same thing under Cached Interpreter:

The game still freezes the same way, except the FPS stops at 11 instead of 4.

There's another problem to add to this - when loading a savestate in this game (and this game only!) from regular Dolphin under debug Dolphin, the audio is of a much higher pitch than it should be. Can anyone reproduce this?

I don't exactly know how to attack this kind of bug...
i wonder if it's a compiler issue.

I turned logging on, and I got a massive, unending spam of the following under JIT:
HLE\HLE_OS.cpp:57 N[OSREPORT]: 81300000->81300000| H
But whenever I run under Cached Interpreter, this is what is posted in the log before the game hangs:

Hopefully this helps.

No idea how or when, but this seems to have been fixed, and the game no longer crashes in debug Dolphin.
