Wii64 Boxart Issues

[Dubya]

I've been trying Wii64 1.3-20211222 basic mode with boxart support.

Everything initially works fine, box art loads up and I can start a game. But once I exit a game and try to load another I always get a crash dump.

Is this a known issue?

Also, the boxart / games take quite a long time to load up every time ... is there a cache/prefetch fix for this?

Thanks

I should note that I also have a Wii U with the exact same setup using the WiiVC version and it works without issue.

Thanks for the reply.

Gave it a try with no luck.

Can you provide more info? What game, which settings, Rice or glN64, how long are you playing for, something I can use to re-create it would be helpful.

Sure.

I've been using both the Rice and GL versions of Wii64 1.3-20211222 ... everything is running off the SD card btw.

I was using a forwarding channel but have since been opening them straight from HBC to make sure that wasn't the issue.

I have not changed any settings, so they should be whatever default settings are.

This will happen with any game and any amount of time playing ... after launching Wii64 it will start in "basic" mode ... selecting "new rom" will take me to game selection with box-art (after taking a while to load) ... after selecting a game and playing without issue I will exit the game and be taken back to the "basic" mode screen ... at this point, if I click on "new rom" I will get a crash dump.

Again, it doesn't seem to matter which game or for how long.

The only thing I notice different from the original Wii64 files that are currently on my SD Card is a "RiceVideo.cfg" file in the "Wii64" folder ... that and I have "mupen64plus.v64", "wii64.z64" and "fcube.v64" in my "roms" folder

As I've mentioned, I have a Wii U with the same setup using the WiiVC version without this issue.

Thanks for the help.

Bit of an update on this random issue ...

Found out that this crash WILL NOT happen if I have a GameCube controller plugged in.

... so take that for what you will

Unrelated but, which one is the least worst of the N64 emulators on the wii?

Not64 runs Banjo-Kazooie at seemingly fullspeed but with the proper jiggie effect transition and the pause screen has a garbled background, oh, and after certain amount of time, the audio de-syncs up to 2 seconds.
