Having trouble with dolphin Mac 10.

[appleson]

The emulator is not working on my computer. I am using version 3 revision 754. When I launch it, it decides to crash. I don't get any notification that it has crashed, but I do get an error report in the console. What can I do to make it work? I am using a base model Retina MacBook Pro with 10.8.

Have you tried other MAC builds by someone else?

[appleson]

Have you tried other MAC builds by someone else?

I have tried someone else's build. It would still crash though.

[Shonumi]

Whose builds did you try? You might want to look at DefenderX's builds, since he's got a MBR and compiles them himself. If his don't work, try the official Dolphin 3.0 (that's just 3.0, no numbers after it).

[DefenderX]

Welcome, and again a Macbook Pro Retina User Yep, check out my OS X build, I compile them on OS X Mountain Lion. Just click on the link in my signature.

[SpadeAX]

I have this issue, and all the latest versions crash on startup. (DefenderX's builds crash too).
V3.0 works, but cause of it's age, it's not exactly optimised and I need as much speed as possible.

[Shonumi]

As Dolphin tends to emulate games more accurately with each revision, it usually becomes more demanding on the hardware. Generally, 3.0 seems to run a bit faster than the latest Git releases (as observed by a number of users), but of course there are always exceptions. At any rate, it's still advised that the OP try 3.0; there's no harm in at least giving it a go.

@SpeedAX - I think recent Dolphin revisions, DefenderX's included, will only run if your version of OS X is recent (Lion and above?) as it seems Apple has broken compatibility somewhere down the line. You should probably use Wintermute's builds since I believe his have some sort of workaround. DefenderX's builds shouldn't work for you, but the OP should be fine running Mountain Lion (theoretically anyway).This site's buildbot is a bit broken atm, which might explain why the OP crashed even though the Dolphin revision is recent.

[delroth]

It looks like you're running Dolphin as root. Why are you trying that?

Running it as a normal user should fix your issue if my interpretation of that crash dump is right.

(BTW, OSX crash dumps are very useful for us devs, when you've got crashes on a Mac, please paste them in your message!)

[SpadeAX]

@Shonumi
If it's because support for 10.6.x is dropped, then I'm out of the running because I still use alot of PowerPC programs, which no longer function in 10.7.x onwards.

@delroth (Running it from the dmg because I can't be bothered to extract it if it doesn't even work, shouldn't change anything but the Path.)

[delroth]

@SpadeAX: that's a more common issue which is not related to the one in the OP. Without a Mac developer who can reproduce and debug this it's most likely not going to be fixed though.
