I only just recently jumped onto the emulation scene with Dolphin
emulator-- I have no prior experience with this emulator and any of its
past revisions.
I've been using Dolphin Emu stable 3.0 version, for 3-weeks now.
Since then, I've been playing several games, mainly LoZ: Wind Waker, extensively.
I had a major issue with the picto-box in, Wind Waker, and could not manage resolve the problem. (e.g. the game always freezes for roughly (3-to-5) seconds each time I take a single snapshot.)
- The images I take show just fine, and I can delete images just fine, but the freezing is absolutely unbearable.
1) Looked at the forums, and immediately saw that a new stable edition 3.5 is available (as of 2 days ago.)
- I downloaded the emulator- extracted, and I tried to copy the (2) GC memory A (raw file(s)) assuming they would work with 3.5.
- I launched Wind-Waker, and I can see my save files at File-Select screen, unfortunately the emulator freezes when I try to load the game.
2) I tried to mimic all settings I had set from Dolphin 3.0 to to 3.5 as closely as possible.
- However i noticed some (2) new things in Dolphin 3.5 that are not available in 3.0, (to be expected with an update of course, is this perhaps why my .RAW save files won't work?)
A) I always used DirectX9 Encode, with 0.75 native (480x396) on dolphin 3.0
- Dolphin 3.5 does not have such resolution as an option anymore for DirectX9 Encode.
B) Right-Clicking and checking properties of Wind-Waker, I see a new config "Enable Bounding Box Calculation" that's enabled on Dolphin 3.5.
- No such setting on Dolphin 3.0
Are these settings the reason dolphin 3.5 freezes when I attempt to use my old files?
Is it possible to ever copy GC .RAW files into new revisions?
Is it possible to even fix Picto-Box stutter-freeze (3-5sec) on Dolphin 3.0? (That way, i won't lose my 10+ hours of game progress, and forget upgrading to 3.5 until i finish the game at least...)
Thanks for reading guys...
