Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi everybody,

I have plugins problem and I cannot use Dolphin because of that. I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 64 bits, have a 2.1 Ghz Triple Core 64 bits and 3GB RAM.

When I start Dolphin, all is ok. When I try to open a game, the followings happen :
Error loading Plugins/libPlugin_DSP_HLE.so: can't find file
Can't init DSP Plugin
Couldn't init the core. Check your configuration.

When I go to Options > Configure..., the following message is shown :
Could not read ./User/Wii/shared2/sys/SYSCONF. Please recover the SYSCONF file to that location.
But the configuration pannel opens.

When I try to access a Settings pannel, it tells me one of these :
Can't find plugin Plugins/libPlugin_VideoOGL.so
Can't find plugin Plugins/libPlugin_DSP_HLE.so
Can't find plugin Plugins/libPlugin_PadSimple.so
Can't find plugin Plugins/libPlugin_Wiimote.so

I searched on many Dolphin forums and it seems those problems happen often on Windows. Dolphin users suggest to update DirectX. but on Linux, I don't think it's the solution...

I have Windows Vista 32 bits with the last version of Dolphin 32 bits too. There, it works.
My friend has Windows Vista 32 bits with the last version of Dolphin 32 bits, and he has the same problems I have on the 64 bits Linux version. (except it's DLL files for him, not SO files.)

We have all those plugin files, and we tried older versions of Dolphin. That doesn't work more.

Does someone can help me?

Seems like you're missing the required libraries for these plugins.
Following this tutorial will help:
http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/wiki/Linux_dependencies

You also need to have the proper driver activated, go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and select:
NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 180)
or if using ATI select the latest ATI driver in that list.
click Activate then restart Ubuntu.

I found much more success running Dolphin in Wine, you gain about a 20 fps boost, compared to running it in Windows. The Linux version on the other hand, is a little bit slower, and much more unstable

I followed the instructions. All seemed work but when I type the scons command in the terminal (I downloaded scons before), it tells me
tar: scons-1.1.0.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I tried to open both the 32 bits and the 64 bits Windows Dolphin versions with Wine, but it didn't start.

Is there something I done wrong?

Have you unzipped using winrar?
I had corrupted plugins when I used winrar.
I extracted the first .zip file using winrar.
Inside you will find a .7z file and the 7z software.
Install 7z and use that one to extract the contents of the .7z file
I don't get any plugins errors afterwards but I still can't make the emu work.

No, I didn't use Winrar because I'm on Linux. My Linux version didn't come zipped anyway.

But I'll tell it to my friend. Maybe it could help him.

So, there is really nobody who knows what to do?...

T. Edoc, any luck?

I'm having a similar problem - "Error loading Plugins/Plugin_PadSimple.dll: can't read info" Once I hit OK, I get "Dolphin.exe has stopped working, Windows is searching for solutions..."

I'm using Windows 7, 64-bit. I've tried both the 64- and 32-bit Dolphin versions (3286), and used 7Zip to extract the files.

Any ideas?

update your DirectX (if it's windows )

I found a solution for my issue... T. Edoc, not sure this will impact you, but, who knows, this may work for you too.

I needed to install: xinput1_3.dll. Here's the site I found for the .DLL: http://forums.emulator-zone.com/showthread.php?t=15084

Hope it helps...

well that file comes with the DirectX update
