Description
Game Name?
Army Men; Sarges War - GAME5H
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
The game hangs on the first level as of the Core Timing Changes. It also has weird freezes throughout it (akin to how Other M used to act at loading screens while bugged.)
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Boot up the game and compare the hitches to how it played before. Load the first level of single player and it just freezes forever.
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?
5.0-422, 4.0-9154, 4.0-9148. 4.0-9148 is the last build working.
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
Intel Core i5-3570K, GTX 1070, Windows 10
Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
Sorry I missed this. Only bought the game after I saw someone report on the wiki that it regressed.

log removed for being long. DSP is probably to blame is the short version.

Setting the Emulated CPU Clock to 109% or higher will fix the issue.

I looked over the logs some more. Looks like it's encountering a fifo breakpoint a few frames in and getting stuck, never clearing it.

I can continue testing various things if you want. I haven't actually tested dualcore, but, the original report was from a non-me user, so I'm guessing they were using dualcore.

- Status changed from New to Fixed
Fixed by the removal of the aram-dma timing hack.

- Fixed in set to 5.0-560
In other words, fixed by 5.0-560 (d951f9e765b81772a464bd663926e05c98b00201). Because of the order things were merged in, 5.0-560 doesn't compile. 5.0-562 fixes that.
