Freezing in main menu
To prevent crashes, use or enable EFB Scaled Copy and disable blooming before entering in game (Config => Graphics => D3D9 => Enable Hotkeys, after one can use 7 to enable/disable blooming)

Black Player Textures
Player skin textures go black once exiting the village (armor displays just fine). Fix this by using a blend build of Dolphin to disable blooming before leaving the village. Remember to Enable Hotkeys (Config => Graphics => D3D9 => Enable Hotkeys). Then one can use 7 to enable/disable blooming.

Another way to eliminate this problem is to change EFB copy settings during the game. The steps are :
 * 1) Run Dolphin.exe
 * 2) Press Config -> Plugins -> Change the graphics to D3D9
 * 3) Enter the graphics settings
 * 4) Go to advance and choose EFB copy to RAM
 * 5) Play the game
 * 6) Inside the game (at village) press ALT+TAB to bring up the main Dolphin
 * 7) Change the settings to EFB copy to TEXTURE
 * 8) Continue the game

In some cases errors may occur when using the ALT+TAB function. In such case play the game in windowed mode. For more details, see this video. One can download here: 32bit / 64bit
