Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Im pissed :/
After some months i decidet to try a new Dolphin version.
After downloading the latest Version and looking after System requirements
(DX updates and VBR) i wanted to try Harvest Moon Magical Melody.
When im starting the Emulator it Crashs with no error message.
Only the common error save error report shows up.
Im not stupid, so i used the Search.
Nothing came up what was related to my problem.
So now im asking here D:
Im using the Current Latest version.
32Bit.


System Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OS Service Pack Service Pack 3
DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)

CPU Typ Unknown, 1500 MHz (9 x 167) 2200+
Motherboard Name ASRock K7Upgrade-880 (3 PCI, 2 AGP, 1 K8 Bridge Port, 4 DDR DIMM, Audio, LAN)
Motherboard Chipset VIA Apollo KT880

Graphikcard RADEON X850 Series - Secondary (256 MB)
Graphikcard RADEON X850 Series (256 MB)
ATI Radeon X850 XT AGP (R481)

The CPU is a AMD Athlon 1500 Mhz wich is around 2,2 ghz.
So plox Help :/

first of all 1500mhz is 1.5ghz, im not sure how you got 2.2 out of that.....

I'd be willing to bet you're using an athlon XP.

Either way, have you tried re-installing the program?.
Have you tried any other games?

Try to rule a few things out with the process of elimination.

If the iso is not the issue, then the installation of the emulator is the probable culprit.
If the iso and the emulator files are both good, then the issue lies with some sort of software/hardware malfunction.

Come back after testing a few things and i'll do my best to help you.

The 2,2 is overclocked and works very well , and i do know that 1500mhz is actually 1,5ghz lol.
Back to the problem;
Erm i cant even Start the Emulator o.O
Small video, i reduced the color depth to keep it samll so it loads fast.

Btw. how can u Reinstall a programm that comes in a Rar archive?
I mean srsrly lol

by downloading and re-extracting it.

If the problem is not with corrupted or missing files then im not sure what your issue is.

Ive already tried redonloading ive also tried older releases, but its always the same thing.

Did you get the C++ update as well?


Also if you do get that working it's going to run so slow it won't even be worth it. You'll get maybe 5 fps in super smash bros melee.

SSBM is bullsh*t lol
And i only want to see how far the Emulator is for myself...
Btw, im having SP3, SP3 is getting some trouble with some programm,s coud it be the sp?

Yes see for yourself but don't ask things then !

SP3 is the latest SP , so I don't think it could damage any of your programs !

1st, how should i be able to look for myself when teh Programm doesnt even start for me?
2nd, on SP3 are quite some programms/games not running...
3rd plox Reply if u know something related to the problem.
