OK I'm new here, but I've been having the same problem as you guys.

But I got it to work when I added the ISO into the ISO list thru browse and pressing the Play button.

Now I'm on to my next problem, how to connect the virtual wiimote.

Yes. I read the whole thread, among many others, and tried everything suggested.

How the heck u guys manage to browse any GC isos??? My emulator (any dolphin emu) doesnt find any ISOs even if they are on the desktop! So, i cant start any game directly from the emu, that means i cant put any games to show up in the dolphin emu list! Pls help guys!! I would appreciate that! Thx!

It will only load files of type: .elf, .dol, .gcm, .iso and .wad

Games specifically should be of type: .iso or .gcm

If you go to options->config->paths and set a directory with your games, then check the box labeled "search subfolders" it will search all folders in the directory you chose every time you load the program and add the games it finds to the main program window.






In other news, I just decided to play with it again (still using 3661) and hit a minor success. If I uncheck "Enable the JIT dynarec", I still get the same panic message about contiguous memory, but one game (Ikaruga) will load and run at 3FPS under both the OpenGL and DX9 plugins. No Wii games will run. Any thoughts?


Edit: I've tried Metroid Prime now too with the same result. Uncheck Enable JIT, it will panic but run without crashing (albeit slowly, since it's in interpreter mode), but if I leave it checked it will attempt to run and crash. Wii games just crash the program and don't even attempt to run.

I have searched through this forum as well as googling this plenty of times, and tried lots of different "solutions" but none of them work.
-I have the newest version of the emulator
-I do NOT have Kaspersky
-I increased the Virtual Memory up to 6gb (just to be sure)
-I've tried disabling advanced text services
-I shut down every process on my computer that wasn't needed to keep the computer going.

Can anyone help me out?

My system:
Windows XP SP3
Pentium D 2.66Ghz
2 GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512

Hmm! I Had the same problem and didn't know what to do. After googleing a bit I found the solution: The last IE was the problem... After uninstalling it it worked like a charm. If that doesn't work, I have no clue
Well this error happens to me when Im runnong a revision for the first time, then itr never happens aggain, happens on all revisions... Weird.
Hey guys, I just found out about this program like two days ago. I've been receiving the same message, which I've attached. Please take a look, maybe someone could provide a solid answer?

btw, I tried something ( I think it was a right clicked sub menu from the game), and it actually worked one time! I just can't remember what I did TongueHuhDodgyAngryBig Grin

Okay, so I finally got it to work!

Try this:
1. Right click on the game icon from Dolphin
2. Click properties
3. Go to "Emulation State:", and choose "Perfect"
4. close, and double click the game, it should work!
