New Builds Freeze On Stop - Wiigeek336 - 05-12-2013

Ever since 3.5 (everything older doesn't do this), I get "Dolphin.exe is not responding" when I press the stop button. It also happens when I close the window. I really want to use the new builds for the best compatibility, but every new build has this same problem Undecided . My Specs:

COMPAQ Presario SR5030NX
Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit
Intel Pentium 4 Prescott (3.2 GHz, Single Core, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, HTT)
Intel GMA 82945G Express Chipset Family
(Yes, I know that my PC is a little outdated Dodgy )

Try the latest revision.

The newest build doesn't work at all! I also just figured out that resizing the window also crashes it... Sad

I'm surprised recent builds work at all on your GPU. They shouldn't, we require OpenGL features that aren't even fully implemented on certain newer Intel GPUs' drivers. And with a Pentium 4, you won't really have any fun with Dolphin anyway – just get a newer PC.

New-ish builds only work with the Direct3D9 plugin. My GPU doesn't support Direct3D11 or OpenGL 2.0. Software rendering has always been crashing, no matter how old or new the revision I'm using is. The Direct3D9 is the only one that even boots, and when it boots, it usually runs at extremely low FPS. Sad

Well yeah, you've got a pentium 4.

It's common knowledge that you can't run Dolphin well on a Pentium 4 and Intel graphics.

Closed.
