Hello everyone,
I recently downloaded the most recent recommended version of Dolphin (4.0.2, 64 bit).
I have had two separate, but equally annoying issues. The first is random crashes - the emulator will simply stop responding, and my OS will stop it. These are at seemingly random times, with no consistencies I have seen. I have crashed on Legend of Zelda- Twilight Princess (Gamecube version), Super Mario Sunshine, and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. As this is a hard crash, there is no save to backup to, and thus, results in me having to redo some portion of the game.
The other issue is an audio one - it appears the emulator stops updating the audio and simply plays the note that it was left off on. This persists through savestates, as well. I have encountered this in Pokemon XD and Super Mario Sunshine. I am aware there is a warning not to mess with config during emulation, as it might cause a problem, and that is not the case.
I have tried using an earlier version of the emulator (4.0) with the same issues. I have also searched for fixes to this problem and there have not been able to find any having the same issues with the same version, that I could find.
Are these problems with my build, or is it simply a problem with emulation in general?
My specs:
OS: Windows 7 Premium 64 bit
Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 955, 3.2 GHz
RAM: 8 GB GDDR3
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 550ti (1GB)
If I'm missing any information, please ask. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks
