Hello. I have a problem where i play any games with friends they dont see what i see. For example i would pick something but for them i pick something different and then when the match starts the outcome of it is different for them. I need help. Thanks
It sounds like both you and your friends are desyncing. What settings are you using in Dolphin? Post them here as screenshots so we can take a look. Additionally, have you verified that both you and your friends are using the exact same settings?

yes we reinstalled dolphin and different versions of them. And we made sure that we did have the same settings. But I will take a look again. Here are the screenshots. We are also using version 5.0

What game(s) are you trying to play? Dual-core mode is supposed to be deterministic most of the time now, but some games use settings that can mess with it and cause desyncs. Try turning it off and see if that helps.

I have a question. What if he has opengl and i have something different? Does that cause any problems?
You made sure that everyone is using the exact same game? I.e. your dumps should be 100% the same. Make sure your and your friends haven't done anything like try to trimming the game to reduce its size or anything, or have attempted to do any mods. Last but not least, make sure it's the same region (e.g. you shouldn't mix NTSC-U and PAL versions). It might be a good idea to have everyone grab the MD5 hash of their copies of Brawl and make sure each one matches (Dolphin can generate the MD5 hash, right-click the game in Dolphin's menu -> Properties -> Info -> Compute).

It shouldn't. But to avoid any problems (as far as troubleshooting goes), everyone should be using the exact same setup anyway.
