Hello, I´m from Portugal and I´ve been using your emulator for almost a month and let me thank the creators for all the hard work, but what brings me here is that I´ve been around this forum for a while but still I can´t find a solution for some problems (maybe compatibility problems). But first, I tried many games and then decided to come around and write this thread asking for your help.
First of all, I´m using Dolphin on a Portable Computer, an HP Pavilion dv5 with Intel ® Core2 Duo CPU T6600 @ 2.20GHz, 4GB RAM memory and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 with 1024mb DDR3. I´ve bought the original Wiimote with motion plus, the nunchuk, a wireless sensor bar that works perfectly and the bluetooth is from Trust and also works fine.
So, my first question is: Is my computer good enough to run the Dolphin emulator? My experience tell me that for some games it is, for others it´s not... But still doesn´t make much sense because sometimes I can run a game with better graphics than one with worse graphics (hope you can understand me...) I´ve been taking a look at the FPS, and some games vary between 20 and 40... but some games have a 50 to 60 fps but still have some problems... Tried changing some of the settings trying to make the games faster but in some i got no effect and in others the game experience got worse... I´ll explain below... Oh and I´m using Dolphin r7716M...
So, hoping you can help me to understand where all these problems come, I´ll arrange the games and the problems in a list here hoping that you can help me:
1- Arcade Zone: Unknown pointer 0xffffff Continue? (this keeps showing during the game);
2-Bootcamp Academy: after 10 to 15min playing it says that the remote is not connected;
3-Calling: no problem whatsoever;
4-Crazy Machines: no problem whatsoever;
5-Deca Sports: no problem whatsoever;
6- Epic Mickey: game doesn´t run at all FPS:0 doesn´t change;
7- Donkey kong Country returns: game a bit slow... when disabling EFB copies, game gets faster but objects stop...;
8- Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo: It doesn´t connect the remote;
9-Family Party: no problem whatsoever;
10- Just Dance: The song, the movements of the character and what you have to repeat aren´t sincronized at all... FPS is 50...
11- Just Dance 2: Works perfectly, which makes Just Dance problem even more intriguing;
12- Just Dance 2 Extra songs: remote stops working during game... (!!!!)
