Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Ok so I am a total retard I had the emulator working a few hours ago I am running version 3.0 I start up the emulator choose an iso then it says clearing cache and closes can someone help me to get it running again?

Did you change any settings? Are you running the same iso as a few hours ago?

Yes I am running the same 3 iso images, I actually had a really hard time getting it to run the first time, in fact I got it to work on accident, I played for awhile then I did go threw the settings and dink around but I changed them all back.

Oh and I am running Ubuntu Btw, and the linux version on Dolphin.

Ok, I have been working on this for a wile now, unfortunately to no avail. This is what relevant documentation of what I believe the problem to be, I would really appreciate any guidance toward solving the issue, Thank you.

These are some errors I found wile trying to build. I'm not really sure what's going on yet, I think it might have something to do with trying to build it over and over, sadly it's the only thing I could thing to do at the time.

Could NOT find SFML (missing: SFML_INCLUDE_DIR)
Using static SFML 1.5 from Externals
Using static SOIL from Externals
-- Found ZLIB: /usr/include
-- Install configuration: "Release"
CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE):
file cannot create directory: /usr/local/share/dolphin-emu/user. Maybe
need administrative privileges.
-- Could NOT find OpenAL (missing: OPENAL_LIBRARY OPENAL_INCLUDE_DIR)
OpenAL NOT found, disabling OpenAL sound backend

These are the errors I am getting whilst the emulator is crashing upon loading the iso. I would like to note that I had this very image functioning a few hours ago....

Just btw, are you sure you want to run Dolphin with open source graphics drivers? Performance likely will be abysmal with those...

Anyway, try deleting your ~/.dolphin-emu folder (or renaming it) to test with a clean config. First, fix your build tree though - you apparently screwed up your permissions. Did you check out the source as root? Try checking it out as a normal user, you only should use root privileges for the "make install" step.

I download the regular driver but it screwed everything up, I am still to new to understand "being root" and all that stuff I just redownloaded 10.10 and I am going to try again. I am sure I will post again for more help.
