It looks like those are the things causing a crash. I hope this helps others that may have issues as well.Try changing the texture cache to slow, fast, and in the middle, and try checking/unchecking Scaled EFB Copy. There are some postings I have seen that mention this as well. It seems like for the Android Pie on the Shield TV that fastmem is having an effect on whether GameCube games can run. Repeated core save procedure as above and the GameCube games loaded and played.

Loaded another Wii game to access the quick settings again to turn off fastmem. Exited RA, reloaded RA and the Dolphin core. Turned fastmem back on, saved the core settings again in the override tab. All ran, very slowly and with garbled sound. Went into the quick menu options and disabled “fastmem.” Saved the core settings in the override settings. Enabled share context and disabled allow core to change video drivers in core settings. It extracted in a “user” folder in “saves.” To be safe, extracted the sys folder from dolphin-master and placed it into a folder “dolphin-emu” in the RA system folder. On a Shield TV, GameCube games would crash, but Wii games worked. I can not speak for a Mac, but I did find something interesting.

So, if some games are crashing on load, search in GameSettings folder some strings related to them. So the problem is definitely something inside Sys folder, i’ll try every file inside it to isolate the problem.ĮDIT: yeah ok i found out the problem in my case, it was a string inside GKB.ini (GameSettings folder) related to Baten Kaitos: CPUThread = 0 And if i add Sys folder content to User folder content, CRASH happens again.

Then i deleted that folder and now it loads without problems (User folder into saves is harmless instead, and will be reacreated, if you deleted it, everytime you load a rom). For example i was trying to run Baten Kaitos for GameCube, crash everytime. Sys folder placed into retroarch/system/dolphin-emu makes some roms crash instantly, just saying, maybe i can help with this (So Retroarch does recognise that path despite telling you that the folder is missing).
