How are we supposed to help when you fill in most of the fields with question marks? What version of Dolphin are you running? If it's 4.0.2, you should upgrade to the latest development build. If you're already on the latest dev build, make sure your game was dumped correctly (by checking the MD5 hash).
Btw, it's not really a common problem.
Yah but I need to download Visual C++ and all that baloney in order to run a development version (at least that's what it says on the website). And correct me if I'm wrong but don't you need to buy visual C++?
No. You need the redistributable, not VS.
When trying to use Hypatia's texture pack for WW (found here
http://onthegreatsea.tumblr.com/) my game drops down to 15-20 fps after about 5 minutes of playing. It starts up fine and works great for those first few minutes but then drops for no apparent reason. I don't get this drop when disabling the textures. I've tried them on the official version 4.0-9204 as well as the Ishiiruka version 639 and they both experience the drop. CPU is not overheating. My pc should have no problem running it but here are my specs: Intel i5-2500k OC to 4.2, GeForce GTX 680, 8 GB of RAM. I would really like to use these textures so any help is greatly appreciated
Update: I seem to have narrowed it down to the HUD folder of the texture pack. When I take out just that folder I don't experience the lag at all. Have not figured out the specific file/files in that folder yet.
Update 2: So I kinda gave up trying to find the specific one, it would take too long. Also, I found out that Ishiiruka doesn't support jpegs and the regular version doesn't like pngs, which is what most of the texture pack is made out of. This made me realize that not all the textures were loading in and that this could be causing the issue. So for now I am using the lower size .dds version pack with regular dolphin (still causes the lag on Ishiiruka) and it is working perfectly.
hello everyone. I really wanted to go back and play all my favorite old zelda games. This has always been my favorite game franchise. I started with the wind waker for game cube. Game runs fine while it is playing. Problem is the dolphin emulator crashes every 5 or 6 mins. The emulator crashed like 5 times by the time I got up to saving the tetra in the beginning of the game. I dnt know what to do, maybe I am not using correct settings. I have a fairly strong gaming pc. Any help would be appreciated.

Update to the latest development version of Dolphin. 4.0.2 is fairly old.
So I just started playing Wind Waker and I am using Dolphin 4.0.9312 on windows 10 x64. Last night when I sat down to play everything was working great but today when I play the only thing I can hear is the music. I have been searching around the internet for solutions but haven't found anything yet. I have tried using every version of Dolphin. I have tried just about every combination of DSP Emulator Engine and Backend Settings that I could, and as far as I can tell the audio still works great for my other games. Any suggestions? This is what I have right now
Update 1: The effect is worse outside than it is inside. I can barely hear link grunting and yelling in the background. It just sounds like the vocals are way quieter than the rest of the game. In dungeons is all background noise almost painful to the ear

Are other sounds in other games or videos broken as well? Sounds a bit like a cable problem.
I'm having some slow down issues, I'm currently at windfall island and after about 20 minutes of game play the fps drops to around 15 and I'll have to exit dolphin to get it back up to a playable fps. I have tried lowering the resolution but nothing helps, even the 640x528 gives me problems, I also tried multiple backends but they all have the same problem. But I honestly don't think I should have much trouble with my GPU and CPU they may not be the best but I've never had a problem with any other games.
Can anyone help me out
Have you checked that your CPU is not overheating?
