i'm useing Dolphin_Win32_r4460 on Win XP
when i try to run it i get " Dolphin.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
( aka , windows default "Duck u , i'm gonna be a bass and throw an error at u" )

is something wrong with that version or what?

[edit] sry i just read the rules >.<

You only have 256MB of RAM? How can you even load the average website?? Big Grin

On a more serious note, a Pentium III will never run Dolphin at even "I can play if I don't mind slow games" speeds... And you can't expect to run Dolphin (or any 3D games) on an "S3" video card. (Yes, they still make cards; No, nobody has one of the "new" ones.)

All I can say is... Build a new machine. I've built 2 Quad-core rigs with Geforce 9800GT's in them for less than $600 each. And that's with extra hard drives.
