Emulation Notes
Datel Disc Bootup
On top of being difficult to rip, Datel GameCube discs require the official GameCube BIOS in order to boot. DSP-LLE is also required for the games to boot properly. Without these requirements fulfilled, Dolphin will crash.
Problems
Incorrect BAT error
When exiting out of certain games, Dolphin will throw an error "Incorrect BAT. Dolphin will now close." and promptly crash. To avoid, do not exit the games using the built-in Z + Start option. See issue 9333.
FIFO Error
Generates a "FIFO is overflowed by GatherPipe ! CPU thread is too fast!" error at start-up. Pressing "Yes" on that dialog and "OK" on the next two will allow the game to start. Single Core doesn't seem to have this issue.

With "External Frame Buffer" set as "Virtual" a blank screen is shown at start up. It will start with XFB disabled, or set as "Real", though the later may be preferable as it corrects issues with the GameCube BIOS intro which is needed to start the game.
