Crash dump is in the recompiler, because the game has jumped to invalid EE code (pc 0x8800c500).

Do you mean this may be an internal bug in the game? but it worked fine on my another computer with 1.6.0 version 🤣

[stenzek]

"Working in 1.6" isn't very helpful, unless you can pinpoint which build regressed it. There's been thousands of changes since 1.6.

My guess would be a regression from the SIO/Pad rewrite. But it could be anything.

[KondeU]

all right, maybe I just can keep an eye on the new version, maybe other changes will fix it...

[Mrlinkwii]

can this be rechecked on latest nightly :)

[pv-oliveira]

Is there a solution? I'm facing the same issue

[lightningterror]

@KondeU Can this be re tested on latest Nightly, if the issue persists can you take a blockdump using 1.6 from starting the game till after pressing the start on the second joystick?

i think this may be a duplicate of #8197 not sure tho
