A bunch o' error messages upon starting the emulation: what's a noob to do?

[Shrewsbury]

I'm trying Dolphin on windows on my mac; apart from fixing an audio problem, windows works flawlessly.

I've started Dolphin, and all I'm getting from trying a game are error messages

and some of the messages that have popped up when trying different settings

I've tried all the graphics backends things, different versions, updating my computer, updating direct x, updating drivers and blah blah, but to no avail. I can give more info if needed, but I have no idea what to do anymore. Thanks for any help.

Install the NVIDIA driver and all your issues will go away.




No, don't install GPU drivers via Device Manager.

That flew right over my head, thankyou so much

Now, I don't suppose you have any suggestions on how to get dolphin to work it's best?

Try these:
1) Update drivers, Windows updates, DirectX Web installer, and latest version of Visual C++
2) Make sure under Power Management in Windows you're running in High Performance, and are plugged in to power. Also set a high performance profile under Nvidia Control panel
3) Use the OpenGL backend on one of the latest dev builds, as it is faster than D3D. The current dev build is 4.0-717

okay so i've tried the developer version, attempted the performance guide. Only a bit better, and the audio is choppy, any other suggestions? ^^"

Your computer isn't going to be fast enough for most games if it's a Core2duo (you didn't accurately list your processor, so I'm forced to guess based on what you wrote.)
