Emulator

I believe this is a problem with certain Wii games. I get a lot of game crashes if I savestate, load the game, reopen the game and then load state immediately.

GameCube games I don't seem to have this issue with.

Or is this just a bug loading the game without loading a savestate? I'm unable to cause a crash using the methods you said without then loading the savestate after I reload the game.

You only get the crash after you load the savestate on your second game run?

For me Dolphin gets totally unstable even after a simple savestate on the first game run. Sometimes just by exiting the game I get a crash dialog, or when closing the Dolphin program.

Either way, if you are getting crashes related to savestates I would consider them the same bug. Sometimes it doesn't crash, or not the same way, so the randomness of it is something to take into account.

If I'm not wrong I was also getting crashes on GC games. Let me do some exhaustive testings tomorrow.

Just in case, I'm still using nvidia driver v.353.30, if that helps.

Yeah, generally savestates are pretty stable for me as long as they were created in the same build of Dolphin. I wonder if your computer is, for some reason, hyper sensitive to dualcore even more than most users. I was reading through some of the issues you were having after last night and in most of those games I have no noticeable issues. So, I'm going to ask this: does the same instability pass to single core? Are you even using dualcore? It's just one of those things where I'm starting to get concerned that there's more going on here.

I'm using single core since 2 weeks or more ago.
I also cleaned cached shaders, and no cross savestates...

Anyway tomorrow will test with a blank slate, last version, etc.
If you don't get the issues it smells as something external; driver, libraries, programs...
But I don't run anything out of the normal... and keep background process to a "minimum", so who knows.
Will report tomorrow.

I can't reproduce any random crashing, and I've since played through Mario Galaxy 1/2

It's more likely that something else is interfering with Dolphin here. I just have no answer for you, and I wish I did.
