No matter what game I run, I always get this error message.
I have searched through this forum as well as googling this plenty of times, and tried lots of different "solutions" but none of them work.
-I have the newest version of the emulator
-I do NOT have Kaspersky
-I increased the Virtual Memory up to 6gb (just to be sure)
-I've tried disabling advanced text services
-I shut down every process on my computer that wasn't needed to keep the computer going.

Can anyone help me out?

My system:
Windows XP SP3
Pentium D 2.66Ghz
2 GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512

I can be not Kaspersky, but your firewall. Also make sure you're running games from Dolphin main screen (by setting paths to the ISOs in settings).

The windows firewall? I tried disabling that but that didn't do anything...

I already am running the games from the main screen.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't seem to have a file called "sd.raw" Sad

oh right ~_~, not sd.raw Tongue, the "SRAM.raw" in the "User\GC" for Gamecube games or the files that are in the "User\Cache" folder Smile

Just tried that, still no effect.
But thank you for the suggestions.

i have had that message (with the same setting, no kaspersky, and having the games on the list of Dolphin) and that would work for me Undecided

maybe there was something else i missed Tongue, well try deleting the SRAM.raw, the stuff in the "cache" folder and the stuff in the "maps" folder Smile (without regard for the game being GC or Wii Tongue)

Probably there are still some programs you have on that take a lot of RAM

Tried all that as well, still no luck :'(

Also, I have tried running it with every unneeded program shut down and it still would not start.
Even if I keep all my normal stuff open, I have 1500000K (1.5GB) of available memory so its not that I don't have enough, Dolphin just doesn't register me having enough.
