Description

Game Name? Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door

Game ID? G8ME01

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

Try to talk to a guy that shows you where to go, game crashes with error message "Warning: Memory stride is too small"

Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work?

4.0-7670

What are your PC specifications?

AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor @ 4.0GHz
GK104 [GeForce GTX 680]
8GBs of RAM

Is there any other relevant information?

At request of IRC, I tried with dual-core turned off, but that did not help. I have cheats enabled and all of the ones available turned on.

I can only upload 5MBs for some reason, but here is a link to the save state

Error message was added in 4.0-7630, Happens when the game tries to do a copy with a stride smaller that the width of the texture.
Actually there is a slight bug, so the stride has to be 32 times smaller than the width to trigger this assert.

The correct behavior for a copy where the stride is less than the width of the texture is unknown, do we pad the stride up, truncate the width or is the game expecting a corrupted texture?

So, the game is trying to do a 1024x1024 efb copy, with a stride of 1 cacheline (32 bytes)
Which is kind of invalid.

Note: 1024x1024 is the size you get when you write 0xffffffff (or -1) to the efb copy size register.

It would be helpful if I could also get the memory card gci from the save point just to the right of that location as it would be more portable across versions.

I would make it myself, but the game isn't letting me without the original memory card.

Helios747 said that my memory card file would be fine to give you. This is the save point just right of the location like you asked.

I have downloaded this, and it wasn't fixed.
It no longer says "Memory stride is too small", but instead just crashes.
