What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
These are two separate problems, but since they both affect the same screen of one game, I'll combine them.
-
The main menu of King Arthur goes crazy and automatically starts scrolling through all the options really quickly after pressing anything on the left analog stick. Strangely no other part of the game is affected, or any other games that I own for that matter. This is bisected below; the revision which broke it is 4.0-2912.
-
The main menu of King Arthur is supposed to let you hold X to bring up a little dialogue box of options, but it doesn't. After leaving the screen and coming back, say by selecting "Load Game" then quitting back to the main menu, instead you get the dialogue box up constantly with no way to cancel it; however, holding X as you quit back to the main menu instead makes it not show up and act normally. This problem goes all the way back to 4.0, the oldest revision I tested the game on.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Boot the game
- Press anything on the left analog stick and watch it go crazy
- Select anything, then quit back to the main menu
- See the whole screen darken and the information box with controls get stuck on screen
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work?

What are your PC specifications?
Intel Core i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650, Windows 10
Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
All settings are at default with OpenGl, using one wired Xbox 360 controller set as a "Standard Controller" for input.
Problem 1 did not occur for me on Linux on 4.0-5143 to my recollection, but I don't have a Linux installation right now to test it again, and it's broken on Windows 10.

I marked both problems as 1)... please ignore that. The note at the bottom is referring to the automatic scrolling issue.

The menu scrolling problem introduced in 4.0-2912 is not unique to King Arthur, I have found 3 other games which it affects. Interestingly it doesn't just affect up and down menus like King Arthur, it also affects side to side menus in the Tony Hawk games.
Super Smash Bros Melee (GALE01): the main menus are almost completely unusable; the game scrolls down through all the menu options infinitely as if I was holding down on the analog stick, speeding up to so fast that its impossible to choose what you want to select. This makes the game unplayable for me.
Tony Hawk's Underground (GTDE52): the main menu works, but selecting "Free Skate" bringing you to the menu to select your skater, the game scrolls through all the possible skaters as quickly as possible again. This is a side to side menu, and it scrolls to the left infinitely. No other menus are affected, just this one.
Tony Hawk's Underground 2 (G2TE52): same story as the first game. Select "Free Skate" from the main menu, and it will do the same thing, scrolling through all the skaters extremely quickly. Another side to side menu.
All of these are broken for me in master, 4.0-2912, and many revisions inbetween which I just checked as a sanity check, but work in 4.0-2910. My first conclusion was that it might be a problem with 360 controller support, so for the Melee tests in master, I unmapped every button and changed the input device to my keyboard, and the only button mapped was the start button to my right enter key. Same infinite scrolling happened with NO possible way to input directions. I even unplugged my controller entirely after that and tried again to the same effect. So, this isn't tied to my controller, but since melee is such a popular game and nobody's reported this yet, I'm willing to accept it may be a configuration problem, though I have no idea what that might be

I don't know what to say about this. I was having these controller problems for a solid 8 months straight and they drove me absolutely nuts, and then a few days ago after deleting my entire /Documents/Dolphin folder trying to fix a crash in another game, suddenly this issue vanished. I have no idea why that build that I bisected worked and later builds didn't, or what could have possibly happened in my saved settings to cause this, but the issue is gone now. Actually, both issues are gone, even the one that was specific to King Arthur where the instructions overlay got stuck. I'm very sorry for any potentially wasted time and I don't think I'll ever know why this happened.
