Is Paper Mario TTYD a possible emulation with the newest Dolphin Core?

[Juan Carlos Bodoque]

I give up.
I can't emulate this game.
It crashes everytime.
I have tried every possible configuration of settings, with every possible video backend possible.
I managed to get through the boat crash at the beginning, but the rest of the game doesn't work properly. I go down through a pipe, the game crashes, I sometimes get it stable with some config but after the second pipe it will crash. Blue buttons are a big no-no, they will always crash the game.
Has anyone had any success emulating The Thousand Year Door? I cannot comprehend how it would work without creating a huge headache.

Just use the standalone Dolphin program. It's much better tbh

b-but, retroarch convenience...

I don't think retroarch ranks that high on convenience points. It's nice to have everything in one place, but if you can't make it work, well, go with what does. Still, I remember I had trouble because of the graphic drivers, but it could be a totally different issue for you

How's it better? In my experience RA has been far better than any standalone (shaders and preconfiguration are huge selling points for me)
