Hacking Custom Theme Crashes After Health Screen

[Dermaeher88]

Hey all,

I'm having an issue in which my custom Wii theme crashes after proceeding past the health screen when emulating in Dolphin. I've spent the past couple days, off and on, trying to research potential causes and debug the theme, but I can't come to a solution. I've narrowed the crash down to the simg element that I'm using for the home screen background in ThemeMii. Without this element included in the mym/csm, the theme loads fine and emulator does not crash.

I've tried different resolutions for the background image, I've tried all 7 of the color palette formats (RGB5A3, RGBA8, RGB565, etc.), I've tried different image modes in Photoshop (RGB 8/16/32 bits per channel, indexed color, etc.), and all result in the same crash when adding the background to my mym/csm and attempting to progress past the health screen in Dolphin. I've even attempted to paste my background image on top of a background from another theme, that I KNOW works in Dolphin, in order to "convert" it to the format that the working image uses and that still results in a crash.

I've attached a log from Dolphin that includes the error(s) in case that helps any. Any suggestions on how to get this to work would be much appreciated. I'm out of ideas at this point and it's frustrating because this is literally the only thing keeping me from finishing this theme and installing it on an actual Wii.

Thanks

I know nothing about using Dolphin, but ...

I gather you've been slowly advancing towards completion (doing it bit-by-bit) ?
If it was working at the early stages, then perhaps backtrack a few steps that may have caused issues. Could very well be the last alteration/addition you made.
Hope you stumble on the culprit

Thanks, but I've already narrowed down the culprit

Perhaps adding it earlier, later or last could indicate better success.
The price we pay to get what we want & manage to keep sane

@diddy81 can probably help with this, if you ask in thread .

Figured it out.
