Mac Dolphin Help

Grantacular · 06-14-2012, 07:27 AM #1

So, I need some major help here. Also, I have never used a forum before so please don't hate. I am currently using Dolphin 3.0 Mac version, and all the other versions crash. I have tried using Wintermute's versions, but for some reason the builds are non responsive. When I press a button, the game doesn't acknowledge it. I am stuck at the start up screen of all my games! I would like to play Harvest Moon AWL, and I need a current version of dolphin to play it because of the text issue. If some one could walk me through fixing the HM text glitch, or point me in the right direction of getting a current build of Dolphin that works for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

You say it won't recognize any button input? Check the controller settings, it's either GCPad or Wiimote (depending on Wii/Gamecube game). It's in the top right of the main screen.

If you're using a controller, you're going to need to change the dropdown menu under "Device" as well as set each button individually.

I tried that, still nothing. This occurs for me on all builds (Dolphin's official or any other) after 3.0

I'm not sure how to fix this problem, as I need a newer version of dolphin to run the game I want to play correctly. Harvest Moon has a text glitch.

Also, I am using snow leopard 10.6.8

This happens in all games, no button input? Do you have a USB game controller you could try using?

Try running dolphin as admin or moving the folder if its in a read-only folder cause it sounds to me like dolphin not being able to modify the config file, also try mapping the buttons while game is running.

Download from here http://www.dolphin-emu.org/download.html , it could also be a problem with the build you got

I tried, with no avail. Most of the versions after 3.0 crash upon opening for all mac users. However, version 3.458 works but the buttons do not respond during any and all games =(

are you sure? If yes, you could write an issue @ the googlecode page of Dolphin. http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/

on osx if you switch between 3.0 and newer versions you need to reset the controller settings in the configuration gamecube page, set port 1 to standard controller.

how would I do that, exactly? Maybe I am doing something wrong

open dolphin, Options Menu > Configure > Gamecube Tab - set "Port 1" to standard controller
