without dynarec, you won't get past 1fps.

Do you know what might be causing the problem i cant seem to find any threads with info.Im going to try again ill reply if i find anything thank you for your help

dynarec = dynamic recompiler.

without that, you only use interpreter mode, which is always slow as hell.


in any case, it SHOULD run with dynarec, as some people actually played it : http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/thread-248.html


you could try another version of dolphin or try dolphinIL.

I Got it working guys thanks for the help i started geting the can not find one gb of contigious memory and followed instructions to fix it and now jit works thanks again for your help.

I can safely say that 3 GB is NOT enough memory. I'm running 4 GB (two of which is dedicated Radeon HD 3200 video memory) and a 2.1 Turion and I'm having similar problems, but Dynarec works on mine. Of course, I'm on Vista. I'd imagine the requirements are half of Vista's for XP, so you should be fine with 2 GB. What's your GPU? Is it an integrated one, or Expansion Card type? If it's an expansion card, it should be above a Radeon 700 or GeForce 6 series (though I'd recommend, as always, a Radeon HD above 2K series)


EDIT: Heh. I just noticed you fixed it already

3gb is more than enough... dont talk about stuff you have no idea about

[Iulius]

depends.

with ati cards i recommand unlimited memory because of the leaks.

just use 9.3 for that problem, its a lot cheaper than spending money on more ram and makes no sense not to

[Iulius]

not everone can use 9.3

my card (4870 1gb special design) seems to support only 9.4 upwards

when i install 9.3 or below, it tells me the driver does not work.


future ati cards will probably suffer from the same problem.
