Genesis Plux GX crashes when loading a game (Wii)

[Former user]

Hi, I'm having trouble with this emulator, it won't load games. I don't really know what to do, others emulators (Snes9x GX...) work fine, but Gen Plus GX keeps crashing.

What are the steps to reproduce the problem?

Load a rom from a SD card of a USB drive. Tried with different formats (.zip, .md, .bin)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The game should load a be playable. Its shows indeed a quick loading bar and then the screen becomes black with whites stripes and dots on it, and the console freezes. (see picture)

What version / port of the emulator are you using ?

Gen Plus GX For Wii version 1.7.5. The Wii is 4.3E PAL; The Homebrew Channel is ver 1.1.2 IOS58 v24.32

What emulator settings (system, video, audio,...) are you using ?

Default settings

Where did you get the emulator (.dol) from ? If not already the case, update to the latest build available here: https://github.com/ekeeke/Genesis-Plus-GX/blob/master/builds/genplus_wii.dol (rename genplus_wii.dol to boot.dol and update boot.dol on your sdcard with it).

Alternatively, try to delete your config.ini file in /genplus directory to see if that solves your issue or set video mode to INTERLACED instead of ORIGINAL before loading a game to correctly see the exception dump screen (it is incompatible with 240p output, hence the garbled screen) and post it again here.

There was indeed a problem with the latest genplus_wii.dol file uploaded in github repository. I recompiled it and uploaded it again which seems to fix the issue (see https://github.com/ekeeke/Genesis-Plus-GX/issues/218).

Bitbucked was also synced with githup repository since I forgot to commit the latest changes there.
