Dolphin crashes randomly + No saving?

[Plebeian]

Hi

I finally decided to give Project M a go. Following this tutorial - http://afriendlyfox.com/2013/07/22/project-m-super-smash-bros-brawl-mod-on-the-dolphin-wii-emulator/ - it worked playing for a random amount of time and then it randomly decided to crash every now and then and hasn't stopped to. I tried reinstalling everything because I had previous dolphin versions installed and so forth and figured maybe it messed everything up, but still not working. The flow of the crash is as follows, at first the sound goes off, but the game is playable for about 2-3 seconds, and then the game freezes and crashes.

also for some reason the game does no longer save my names and stuff ingame anymore (it used to before)...

Running Dolphin 4.0 on a Windows 7 64 bit.

Does regular Brawl work okay? If so, follow the instructions in this post to set up a standalone Project M ISO: http://www.reddit.com/r/SSBPM/comments/1t4iab/project_m_30_netplay_guide/

Note: If you want to play via Dolphin's (amazing) netplay, follow the guide exactly, and accept the fact that you still won't be able to save - trust me, it's worth it. If you don't want netplay, answer "1" to every option the ISO builder gives you, and copy the contents of

"C:\Users\[YOUR NAME]\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Wii\title\00010000\52534245\data"
to
"C:\Users\[YOUR NAME]\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Wii\"

in order to save properly.

This worked! Thank you so much!
