    One of the games I want to play won't load in Dolphin and will crash immediately after trying to load it. I looked around for some answers and some people are suggesting to "redump" the game. What is "redumping" and how should I go about doing it?

    Simply put is that everyone who'd suggested to you to re-dump it yourself meant that; they told you to go buy a copy of the official/pirated game CD/VCD, load it on a computer, rip it/copy it to a folder in your computer by turning it into an ISO file using a ripping program. Then you compress the ISO file, upload it somewhere on the internet, share the download link generated by you, so that everyone then can download/grab a copy thanks to your effort, while at the same time you too get to play on the emulator using that ISO file you'd created from your own CD copy. If it fail to load after that, then blame it on yourself for miss ripping the CD. That's what they meant, which is really "interesting" suggestion they'd given you. :p
