Pikmin and Dolphin problems.

09-07-2010, 04:05 AM #1

Hi there, I am new to using Dolphin (not new to emulators though) I downloaded Dolphin V2.0 and a PAL copy of Pikmin, I got to about half way on day 2 and then it said it had stopped responding (I use Vista). So I went abead and downloaded a NTSC version and with that I couldn't even pass the intro day. I really wanna play this, especially on an emulator for the AR codes. I don't really know what else to do =/

I know this is a very vague description, I remember being asked before to do some DOS command thing that got up the entire specs of my PC which would probably help out here but I don't remember how to do that. Tongue

Need any extra info, just ask =D

Hi buddy and welcome. The version that you use is a crap and quite old. Don't use that version of the emulator. Go here:
http://www.dolphin-emu.org/

And download the latest version of the emulator. There you have everyday the latest revision. Perhaps you will play without problems (at least I was playing a few days ago, only sound problems).

I hope my information was very useful for you.

Haha, thanks for the welcome. When I went to that page for the v2 download it seemed to be the newest one....guess I was wrong ^_^ I'll download the emu from the link you gave and hope it works out for me.

Thanks again. Big Grin
