Use Dolphin 5.0 or the latest development build instead. Since Dolphin v4.0-5234 the texture format system changed (improved!). Most texture packs nowadays are made for the improved texture format system. A lot more improvement were made to custom textures of the course of time. Check out this thread: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-dolphin-custom-textures-info to learn has changed since in a quick summary.

I can not do that Dolphin 5.0 does not support Windows x86.

Then Google will be your only method of finding support, unfortunately.

As stated by the other members, we only provide support for the latest stable release (currently 5.0) or the latest development version. You're free to use whatever old version you want, but you're on your own. In this case particularly, most (if not all) texture packs were updated to the new format and as such they simply won't work on Dolphin 4.0 unless you manually convert every single texture file back to the old format (not even sure if that's possible).

Furthermore, "my OS is 32-bit" isn't really an excuse, any CPU newer than the Pentium 4 is 64-bit capable and your Windows license covers both editions, you can just reinstall a 64-bit edition and use newer Dolphin builds.
