Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

athlon64 are compatible... but not athlonXP.
AthlonXP has no SSE2-support.

Wow. Well, dunno if that's the reason for this particular problem or not, but I do have an AthlonXP. It came with the computer.

At the risk of sounding naive, what's SSE2 and in what way is it necessary for Dolphin to run? Might this "dependency" be compensated for in future versions of Dolphin?

I doubt the requirement for SSE2 will be removed.

Okay. Well, the problem has been identified and deemed "insurmountable for the time being"...this thread can be closed.
