Game won't run - Sims 2 Castaway - Redquaker - 04-20-2014
I'm completely new to using Dolphin, and the main reason for downloading it was to play this game. However, whenever I try to emulate it, all I get is a black screen. Is this game compatible with Dolphin, or am I doing something wrong? The .iso is in a Games folder in my Desktop, if that matters at all. Also, my computer is definitely capable of running Dolphin.
Specs:
Intel i7-4700MQ
NVIDIA GTX 770M
8GB RAM

32bit builds of Dolphin are broken as of 4.0-1380; try 4.0-137x or something.

I've seen too many people with 32-Bit Operating Systems and 8GB RAM. You know you can only use 4GB on 32-Bit, right?

I believe you can use whatever is over 4GB for something (I want to say VRAM >.<)

The game is compatible with Dolphin so you're probably doing something wrong (bad dump?)

I used to have this game myself, and can confirm that it should work. Try the latest stable to see if it works, and, if it does, do the ever-so-slightly more-work-to-do thing that JMC47 said (sorry for that, by the way, it's just that trying the stable is always easier for people who don't keep an archive of a large amount of dev builds on their own computer).

Turns out I had a bad version, thanks for pointing that out. It works fine now.
EDIT:
Not sure if this should be posted in this section, but I can't use my NVIDIA card and I'm forced to use my Intel® HD Graphics 4600 integrated card. If I try to use the NVIDIA one, it says "Failed to enumerate outputs" and then stops working. Also, I can't change the resolution from 640x528. The mouse pointer and the pointer in the emulator also aren't calibrated, so controls are odd. Any help for these issues would be appreciated.
