lr-dolphin keeps randomly crashing Gamecube games #332

I'm on a Pi 5 build of RetroPie and I've found lr-dolphin to work quite well... when it works.

The biggest issue I seem to have with it is it will randomly crash a Gamecube game usually within the first 60 second of a game loading, if it is going to crash.

For example, I can load up 1080 Snowboarding or 18 Wheeler about twenty times each, and probably half of those times it will crash within the first 60 seconds of the game loading.

and when it doesn't crash, I can play for a good 15-20 minutes with no issues at all.

Is there any setting in the core, or anything you can think of that would be making the emulator core crash or is it just that unstable?

and I'm talking a hard crash, like it completely locks up the Pi and you have to shut it down.

I have tried things like underclocking the console in the dolphin settings with minimal success but nothing that seems to keep it from not crashing at all.
