I'm thinking of upgrading my Windows 7 box to Windows 8.1

I'm just wondering if there any issues with Dolphin on this platform?

I'm half way through some games so i don't want it to break on me.

Thanks.

From my Dolphin experience in Win8, I haven´t got any issue yet.

So yes, you can use it safely in Windows 8.
Rig 1: Windows 10 Home | AMD A6-1450 @ 600/1000/1400 MHz | AMD Radeon HD Graphics 8250 | 4GB RAM | HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11.

Rig 2: Windows 10 Pro | Intel Core i7-2640M @ 800/2800/3500 MHz | Intel HD 3000 Mobile | 8GB RAM | Dell Latitude 6320.

I've been having issues getting Dolphin to run on my laptop. I should be able to run it with a AMD Radeon and 6 Gigs of RAM on windows 8.1, but it keps crashing after a couple of minutes of gameplay. I also tried running it in compatibility mode for windows 7 + Vista + XP and ran as admin. Any ideas what's up?

The only problem I've noticed in Windows 8.1 is that it will give black screen when you try to upgrade (/reinstall/downgrade) Nvidia drivers.

I've benchmarked between Windows 7 and 8.1 for Dolphin and doesn't see any differences.

ok. I'll try it with the duo core setting disabled since it mentions something about crashes caused by running it. Hopefully that will fix the issue. if so, I'll settle for slower speed over not being able to use it.

I meant to say black screen in Windows itself... I had to uninstall it through safe mode (then install like usual but never ever re-install/up/downgrade). Sorry for the confusion.

There is Nvidia drivers setup in Windows 8.1 update list and I happened to install what I just downloaded from the Nvidia website and it throw black screen on me. Be warned Tongue

No worries. The emulator worked until it crashed every time, so perhaps by removing that one feature it might fix the problem. I'll give it a go and post here with the results of the test once I am able to verify the results.
