r5755 - OS X [x86+x64] Dolphin Builds

[ceigered]

I honestly have no idea what any of that system feedback means, but for the sake of troubleshooting, was wxWidgets installed correctly? (referring to my post where I realised after a couple of attempts at running dolphin that I had been installing wxWidgets in the wrong location). (sorry if that's of no help, I barely know this sort of stuff )

Thanks for answering!

No, it's at the right place, if i try starting dolphin without the library files it wont start at all.

Im thinking it might be because im running Snow Leopard in 64-bit?

I'm using Snow Leopard and haven't found any problems, I did however have trouble getting it working because certain options were left blank when they should have had something there (e.g. no wiimote plugin selected, caused the emulator to crash even when loading GC games). My understanding is that Snow Leopard doesn't force programs into 64 bit mode, it just allows the use of 64 bit programs, which might rule out a 64 bit problem.

Looking at the info on the crash, there's a lot of references to the input device, perhaps there's an error with the way the plugin is set up? I'm using r5618 I believe anyway, and there doesn't seem to be a massive difference in the way r5755 works and r5618 work (to the end user ) so if r5755 keeps being a hassle perhaps use the earlier version (that said, Wind Waker has crashed my entire computer on that revision just 5 minutes ago when it went into the map menu in the great sea, so maybe there's a revision inbetween r5755 and r5618 that works better for both of us).

You are correct, but as standard Snow Leopard runs in 32-bit with 32-bit drivers but allows to execute 64-bit apps. I however run my kernel on 64-bit and use 64-bit drivers also, so it may be different though it shouldnt be.

Can you configure GC Pad when pressing the button? if i do that dolphin crashes in a similar way to when i launch a game. I have this problem on both builds (newest and oldest in the list).

I tried 5748 also, but get the same errors there.

Do we really just need to install the library files for wxWidget, what about the bin files??

What is compiling and what is it's uses?

Compiling? These are pre-built dolphin versions and that's the point.

Oh, that's interesting, I had no idea that was usable - I wouldn't have assumed that it would have been too bigger problem though (hopefully, Murphy's law clearly states I'm wrong though ).

Regarding the GC pad - I had to go into the actual configuration for that, and select the GC plugin first (otherwise it will be blank). Then, after the plugin is loaded in the configuration menu, the button should be usable without crashing. This essentially applied to every single plugin which has its own configuration button on the main menu bar - it took a bit of trial and error to see what would crash Dolphin, and what wouldn't, but it eventually worked out for me. Individual rom settings don't work for me though.

@ Shade3134:
Compiling is getting the code which the chaps work on, and turning it into a usable programme. Its use for non-compilers is mostly to either become a compiler for a certain platform (for example, Mac has just a little amount of public sharing compilers to my knowledge), to ensure you have the most up-to-date version of Dolphin possible, to customise some features of Dolphin before turning it into a programme for your personal use, or just to gain a new hobby.
And ideally it works in a programmers -> compilers -> testers cycle, with feedback going back and forth to make Dolphin get constantly improved.
(sorry if I hashed over stuff you might very well know, but just kept it informative incase you didn't)

Hello

I tried to install but Dolphin crashes only when I try to run a game.

During install I had an error with wxwigets.
When I ran (in terminal):
sudo cp -r REPLACE_WITH_PATH_2_WXW/lib /usr/local/lib
I got:
cp: REPLACE_WITH_PATH_2_WXW/lib: No such file or directory

so i just copied the files over manually to /usr/local/lib.

Any help would be appreciated. thanks!
