Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

So this is the first time I've tried to use this and when I go to start up a game I get the following error messages,

Error loading Plugins/Plugin_Padsample.dll:can't read info

Can't init any PAD Plugins

Couldn't init the core
Check your configuration

I'm not even sure what to do in my configuration to fix this. I went to the configuration menu and went to Plugins and went to the pad drop down box and there were no Plugins there...but in the Plugins folder there is a plugin for a pad there. I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas?

update you DX and download Visual C++ Runtime 2008 SP1

Would it make a difference if I'm trying to use my keyboard to play? Is there a keyboard plugin or something I would need? Or would updating my DX and downloading that runtime package fix it and make the game playable with my keyboard. Sorry I should of mentioned that.

the keyboad is defaul to play games

Are you using a X360 pad emulator?

This pad emulator causes incompatible issues with Dolphin emulator by using wrong DLL Xinput files.

If are you using that, return to original DLL files then the plugin list will show all right plugins in config menu.

I get this issue today trying to use a X360 pad emulator.
