Dolphin starts always minimized!!!!!! :-(

hi

i have a problem with dolphin recently. after some time of use Dolphin starts always minimized, i can see the icon in the taskbar, but the main-window doesn't show when i click.

it happens when a game cant sync the fps and dolphin crahses, but often enough also when i close it normal without anything special. i wouldn't complain if this happend one time, but it happend over 40 times (no lie!).

it sucks because i have to download a new svn and unpack it in a clean folder.
i loose all the controller configurations (this is annoying as hell) and save files. i can't copy the user directory because then it wouldn't start anymore like i mentioned.

only one time there was a message that the config files are corrupted and have to be recreated.

btw: how do i use the gcpad export / import function? are there any perfect profiles for the X360 controller? would be nice if you could help me.

many thanks

That happens every now and then, there's plenty of posts on it. What happens is for some reason the window is displayed in a negative region (ie, off screen).

Delete your Dolphin.ini and it's fixed I believe.

Can you find out how you got it to store the minimized stuff?
Or rather, do you still have your Dolphin.ini before you deleted it?

This was fixed on rev 6286. Smile

From the thread, it sounds like his whole Dolphin window starts minimized - and that'd be a new one.
If not, nevermind.

I've had this problem as well. Every now and then for whatever reason when I click on the Dolphin icon the program just starts minimized at the bottom of the task bar. The only way to fix this is to delete the .ini and load Dolphin. Then obviously without the ini saved, you have to reconfigure the options again. Next time this happens I'll post more info.

This happens with my R6000 build, so it is nothing new that made this happen.
