== 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.

=== 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}}.

=== Crash ===
=== <s>Incorrect BAT error</s> ===
Maxplay Classic Games crashes when loading. For it to boot properly, it requires a dump of the GameCube BIOS, and "Skip Bios" to be disabled in the GameCube settings.
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.
 
=== No Graphics ===
With default settings, only a couple of colored boxes are shown and music plays. Turn on "Real External Frame Buffer" to fix it. Real XFB has distorted graphics with Direct3D backends so use the OpenGL graphics backend with it.


=== <s>Controls do not work</s> ===
}}}}
Controls do not work at all, regardless of settings. Fixed by {{revision|3.5-644}}.
