What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
Loading homebrew app Aspirin (http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Aspirin) will cause Dolphin to become unresponsive with a black screen on startup and no useful information displayed in the log. Dolphin must then be force closed. This app works fine on a real Wii.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Load Aspirin in Dolphin

- Subject changed from Aspirin homebrew app causes Dolphin to become unresponsive on startup to Some Wii homebrew are launched under GameCube mode
- Status changed from New to Accepted
This is because the heuristic Dolphin uses for detecting whether a DOL/ELF is a Wii homebrew is not perfect. Can't reproduce the "Dolphin must be force closed" part, though.

Thanks for the clarification. In Dolphin 5.0-6026, Dolphin no longer needs to be force closed but the game will not boot.
