Emulation Information

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

FIFO Error

Generates a "FIFO is overflowed by GatherPipe ! CPU thread is too fast!" error at start-up. With Dual Core mode pressing "Yes" on that dialog should allow the game to start. If using Single Core mode errors may repeat until an Unknown Opcode error are seen and the game hangs. Refer issue 8175.

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, now resolved.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
