I am having severe issues with Dolphin emulator. I have tried everything I can to rectify the issue. I tried deleting everything related to Dolphin and deleting all of the registry entries that contain Dolphin in them. I have downloaded the so many different versions, beta versions, the stable 5.0 version (which is the only one that works but doesn't work with Action Replay), and developer versions. All apart from the 5.0 crash in a white screen when I try to run a game or when I just x out of the Dolphin emulator, it hangs for a while and crashes requiring me to force close it in task manager. Please help. The people at Dolphin forums ignored my question.

Of course, I ran the upgrade assistant Windows10Upgrade9252.exe. I tried:
sfc /scannow
and:
chkdsk /f/x/r.
The chkdsk doesn't find anything and the scannow finds no integrity violations. I also tried: DISM /Online/Cleanup-Image/RestoreHealth
It says it completed successfully.
while the dolphin dev team's goals are noble -
i have found that the best way to go is game by game basis most of the time - run dolphin instances as portable, that way you should be able to avoid registry corruptions -
as a brief example:
on a windows 10 machine i have access to - i use dolphin ishiiruka to run smash brothers infinite, and an older qt5 version of dolphin to run mario Kart fusion v.4

I have Ishiruka versions of Dolphin from the Henriko Magnifico Hires texture packs for games like Twilight Princess, Mario Sunshine, Pikmin 1 and 2, Luigi's Mansion, the Ishiruka versions work fine. But none of the other versions of Dolphin work, except 5.0, and that one doesn't work with Action Replay or Gecko cheat codes. I don't want to have to wipe my SSD and reinstall Windows 10. That's a very time consuming and costly process for me.
Guess what! I resolved the issue. I just found the solution by complete chance while reading "How to use the Official GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U in Dolphin" which you can find by doing a Google search, I can't upload the link on this forum.
I went to the Windows section of this page, and there were two download links for two older versions of Dolphin: 5.0-10617 and 5.0-2472. I downloaded both, but the older one which is version 5.0-10617, was the one that prompted me to do an update. I updated it and am now running the latest version which is 5.0-17995, and none of the games are white screening. Okay, now I'm running the latest version of Dolphin with no white screen issues, what does that mean? It means that all the development and beta versions on Dolphin's main download page (which I tried many of them) all result in white screen, whereas this older version which was hidden worked just fine. That means to me that Dolphin is not including something in their newer zipped folders which allows them to work as they should, unlike these older files that do work, but are hidden and difficult to find. Your suggestion of wiping my SSD and reinstalling Windows is very unnecessary and would've messed up my entire setup. Thank goodness I didn't listen, and I hope no one else has to do that now that I've found a solution for the white screening issue.

Looks like I was wrong, I didn't resolve the issue. After updating, the games are white screening again. If I stick to using 5.0-10617 it doesn't white screen, but if I update it, it does. My bad.
Guess what, I found the cause of the issue. It's the GameCube Adapter for Wii U. When I unplug it, the latest version of Dolphin which is 5.0-18498 doesn't white screen when I run a game. If I plug it back in as the game is running, it recognizes the adapter, but if I stop emulation then try and run the game again, it white screens and crashes Dolphin. For sure this problem is related to the adapter. What do I do to resolve this issue? Can someone please help me?

Actually, when I unplug the entire bus that the GameCube Wii U Adapter is plugged into, the games stop white screening. That bus shares several different video game controllers. It could be any one of them that is causing the white screen.

So here's the issue. I own 2 GameCube USB adapters. One is the Official Nintendo Switch to GameCube adapter, the other is a Raphnet GC USB adapter. They are conflicting with each other and causing Dolphin to white screen.
Post automatically merged:
The crash is controller related. When I unplug both adapters, I can select my N64 controller attached to a Raphnet adapter from the Standard Controller options and it doesn't white screen. But if I select from the Standard Controllers option my Keyboard and Mouse or my SNES controller attached to a Raphnet adapter that also white screens. If the GameCube to Wii U adapter is selected it causes a white screen, unless the game is already running and I plug it in. This is controller related.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with Dolphin emulator. Have you tried checking your computer's specifications and ensuring that they meet the minimum requirements for running Dolphin? If your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements, Dolphin may not function properly or at all.
Another thing you can try is updating your graphics card drivers. Outdated drivers can cause issues with Dolphin and other emulators. You can usually find the latest drivers on the website of your graphics card manufacturer.
If neither of these solutions works, you can try posting your issue on other forums, such as Reddit or the Dolphin subreddit. It's possible that someone there may be able to help you.
