Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I'm trying to run my Metroid Prime ISO in the emulator, and when it starts up the menu music, the screen just goes teal, and the emulator won't respond to the pad commands, and the teal covering won't go away. HEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!!!

How to Ask a Question in the Dolphin Forum

Please read this so members can try to help you.

Ya, it'd be nice to help, but it's kind of impossible since almost all users have individual hardware, dolphin revision, operating system version, configs, plugin, settings etc...

Post your hardware, rev and config, a solution can be definitely found.

post your graphics card name

Whoops, sorry.

I'm using Vista Home Basic x32 as my OS, Intel Celeron is my CPU, and my GPU is the Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset family, and I am emulating with the 4771 version. I sadly cannot change to NVIDIA stuff.

2 things that might be the problem(80% sure) :
1.it's a celeron , don't expect any good speeds with it 10-15 fps
2.Intel gpu sucks for dolphin comparing to nvidia or ati

I was able to get MP up to above 40.0 FPS with my setup using DX9...BUT THAT'S THE SPEED IT DID THE TEAL CRASH.

Yes, your hardware can be a big problem for emulating anything on the dolphin. If you can't do anything about that let's look at revision..

I DL'ed 32bit 4771 revision (the one you likely have), and well, it kept crashing for this game at various points before even passing the intro.



And.. Crash, infinite sound loop, et cetera..


Rest assured, it's not just your problem. The wii version has a thread of it's own on the forum which you can refer to for further info. And it's clearly apparent it's still not playable. I tried it on various new 5000+ revisions, it keeps crashing randomly. So it's not all just your fault if the game just wont run correctly.

That rev had the FIFO BP hack for the metroid games ? or it was added later ?

On-Topic: Intel GPU sucks , buy another graphics card

So, you're saying that I'm probably wanting one of the OLDER revisions?
