Pikmin 2 Glitches on Dolphin Emulator: A Solution for Glutton's Kitchen Freeze Issue

As a newcomer to the world of emulation, I've encountered an issue that has left me frustrated and searching for answers. In my attempt to defeat the giant breadbug in Pikmin 2 on Dolphin 5.0-11673, I've experienced random freezes that hinder my progress. In this article, we'll delve into the details of this issue and explore potential solutions.

The problem arises when trying to complete specific tasks in Glutton's Kitchen on Sublevel 6. These tasks include throwing Pikmin onto breadbugs, dragging Sweet Dreamers (and breadbugs) to research pods, and tossing yellow Pikmin onto electric barriers. The freeze occurs randomly, causing my entire computer to freeze for approximately 10 seconds before the audio unfreezes, leaving me unable to see what I'm doing.

To troubleshoot this issue, I've tried various settings, including slowing down the emulation's speed, playing in Native resolution (640x528), and enabling and disabling MMU. Surprisingly, enabling MMU fixed other freezing problems in Pikmin and Pikmin 2, but it didn't resolve this specific issue.

I'm reaching out to the community for assistance in resolving this problem. If you're familiar with similar issues or have experience with Pikmin 2 on Dolphin Emulator, I'd be grateful if you could share your insights or suggestions.
