Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I'm posting here because I've encountered the same problem.
I am using build 5886 for netplay+ wiiU adapter native support.

When I attempt to run dolphin.exe nothing happens. My cursor will display the 'waiting' graphic for about 3 seconds, and then revert to normal.

I am using Windows 7 x64.
Windows is completely up to date.
I unzipped the dolphin installation with 7z and copied to a brand new folder.
No other background instances are running.
I've re-downloaded several times.
I have no virus scan installed.
I tried adding portable.txt to the folder, this changed nothing.

Also worth noting:
This appears to be an issue with any dev build that I download. The latest stable build works fine.

It's a libUSB issue. reinstall the drivers for Native GC support and stuff.

This?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/

And you're saying the absence of this driver actually causes dolphin to not run?

I'm saying hte LibUSB is looking for the Native GC Adapter, and something is causing it to fail, which then causes Dolphin not to run.

got it, thanks, was able to fix this by following the instructions here:
