Emulator

This isn't a new regression/report; people have said this happens for a long time. Unless you can find a specific build or a reproduceable test case, there's nothing we can do about it except hope a future change fixes it in whatever setup you're using.

Oh, OK. I searched the issue tracker and didn't find anything. It was fixed on this machine for a while, or it at least wasn't as bad as it is now, although it's still not that bad on DX11. For some reason it was really bad when I tried DX12.

Could you try using single core, and if that doesn't help, try using the following build:

https://dl.dolphin-emu.org/prs/pr-3601-dolphin-latest-x64.7z

Single Core: Better. I also disabled Idle Skipping, and I could usually make it around a corner, although it still dropped drifts mid-corner sometimes.
The build linked: Even better. It only dropped drifts about 5 times in a race, and that was with me drifting as much as possible, and in the grass to go slower while drifting.

I also tried the build you linked with Dual Core and Idle Skipping off, and it seemed slightly better than with those on, although it still dropped drifts a few times.

I also noticed that with Idle Skipping and Dual Core off, my PC can't maintain 60FPS on Double Dash.

I really don't understand how some people can run into this issue so much. What kind of controller are you using? Maybe it's something to do with the R/L analog on emulated controllers.

I'm using the Mayflash GC adapter for Wii U in Wii U mode,so no issues there. And it was really only a major issue with Dual Core and Idle Skipping on, with those off the issue was very infrequent, I had to try to trigger it, with it also being like this on the build you posted.

It could be, I pretty much always have cheats enabled because of SSBM and SSBB. I can test with cheats disabled once I'm back at my desktop.

It seems like cheats being enabled definitely has something to do with it. With cheats disabled, I completed a full Grand Prix without noticing the issue once, with cheats enabled it happened a couple times randomly.

This is on the same i5 3570K, GTX 960 system running Windows 10 and using Dolphin 5.0-5077.
Dual Core was enabled for both tests, and both were done with DSP HLE and the DX11 Graphics backend with Hybrid Ubershaders, though earlier tests with ubershaders off showed that the issue isn't triggered by shader compilation stutters.

What Cheats are enabled and are they action replay or gecko.

By cheats enabled, I mean I have the 'Cheats Enabled' box checked. I don't actually use any Gecko or AR codes in Double Dash.

I can't reproduce it on the latest dev build.

Is this fixed? I haven't heard anyone mention this previously-common problem in some time.
