Zelda WW crashes

[mrlion]

This is something thats been driving me nuts and I really want to play Windwaker on my PC. So I get these pretty nasty crashes when the audio de-syncs especially on cutscenes. I found that the solution was to turn off audio throttle but I can't for the life of me find it on the DSP settings (this is Dolphin 3.0-552 but it also didn't work on a previous version I had I forgot which one but it was in the 3.0-4xx).

Unless I'm missing something, what is going on with these crashes? It just doesn't let me play the game...perhaps it hates me? I mean why should it?

Recent Dolphin builds keep audio throttling in the Frame Limit option when you click on the Config button. Set it to Audio and that should enable audio throttling. Any outstanding audio issues should be fixed with LLE audio, if you aren't already using it.

It crashes on both HLE and LLE so yeah it does fix a lot of games but for me not on this particular one...

Does the audio still de-sync and then crash when using LLE? Or does it just crash outright with no signs of trouble? Also it'd be helpful too if you posted your system specs and your complete Dolphin configuration.

Now that you mentioned that the Audio Throttle is actually on the Frameskip that might work...its set to Auto right now I can set it to 60 and see if that works.

Or you can use Dolphin 3.0 and disable Audio Throttle in DSP settings. Btw the official release is perfect for this game

Do you really need the widescreen hack? >.>

I don't know what you mean by "official release is perfect for this game" ....I could get Dolphin 3.0 but the thing is...I shouldn't...I don't want two versions one just for the use of one game, there has to be a solution to what is going on with the current version.

Widescreen hack isn't the problem...whether I use it or not it doesn't solve the audio de-sync.

With the "official release" he means the Dolphin 3.0 release.
