Hi guys,
just wanted to bring something to your attention, which should be documented somewhere but isn't. Could be I was a "unique" case, but as there was no information anywhere to help me, and I had to do it myself I thought it best putting here should someone come across the same.
Ok so, attempting to get the best performance possible for Rogue Squadron 2 when using Dolphin version 40.7429 (as this was stated by another user to be an excellent build for this game), I then decided to try a more recent release "4.0-7723" to see if there was more improvements regard performance and wondering if the targeting computer was fixed when using dual core (wish someone would fix this
!).
So to be safe against conflicts etc, I deleted the main root folder of Dolphin on my C drive, as well as the folder created in documents under user where the GC memory cards are etc.
So my system should be free of everything Dolphin related yes? Like MAME or another emulator there's no installer so an uninstall is not needed etc.
So here's the question, why then when I try a new version if Dolphin (no matter the build) is the new raw memory card corrupt stating the card you have is formatted for use in a different region (I'm not using an old one and trying to reuse it, I deleted everything, haven't played anything enough to want to keep a save, and the region shouldn't be an issue as the rip of Rogue Squadron has never changed it's always been a Europe version), and the games running at double speed. The audio is running way too fast and the game's animations are on fast forward likewise.
The audio and animations basically are running as if frame cap is off without v sync and your frames are in the hundreds etc. No setting you do in Dolphin corrects this, and it's with every game.
After trying a few of the recent builds and then deleting them fully, I even went back to the initial build I was using by downloading it again (version 40.7429) and the memory card corruption (even though the emulator it's self just created this not me) and game at double speed issue persist no matter what setting.
I've had to go through the registry (after deleting everything Dolphin related) and cherry pick anything with dolphin in it's string.
Only after doing this and using version 40.7429 did the game speed go back to normal, but the corrupted memory card issue persist when starting the game.
TLDR if there's no installer, why am I having to go through my registry to clean up files from a previous version to stop errors guys? There's no heads up in any of your info or FAQ's this may be an issue or a factor and just what is Dolphin putting in the registry anyway???
These are direct exec files from a folder no? Once the folders relating to dolphin are removed that should be it, shouldn't it?
Some clarification on this would be great, as people not familiar with searching through a registry on their PC could get this issue with your emulator and not have a clue what's needed to resolve it.
It took me a few hours messing to finally think of purging my registry to solve this.
All downloads have come direct from yourselves I will also confirm: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/ and not from a third party.
Either I am the first to ever have this issue, or not many people are removing the Dolphin folder created in Windows user documents between trying builds, to come across this issue.
Not a very happy bunny!
