Windows x64 vs x86 - BryanMckenzie1972 - 07-22-2015
I know that there is a newer version than the one I'am using, but I have a 32-bit system and I use the stable dolphin version 4.0.2 with X86. My question is that I am having freezing and crashing issues when playing zelda /master quest, and would like to know if there is a newer version to upgrade to and still be able to use it on my 32-bit system? Please help, and thank you.

The last development version that was available in 32-bit was 4.0-1609. It's pretty old though, and won't have most of the improvements made since 4.0.2 and will be a lot slower than the latest dev builds... You should look into updating to a 64-bit OS.
Windows 10 perhaps?

What is keeping you on 32 bit?

Looking at your profile specs, you definitely shouldn't be using a 32-bit OS. Reinstall Windows as 64-bit for free extra performance and compatibility (your licence key is good for both 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows).

That was also in the back of my mind of a last resort.

Yeah, unless you have some -super- legacy device that doesn't work with 64 bit, there's little reason to move to 64 bit now a days. (And even if you did, just use a virtual machine)
EDIT: holy crap why do you have 16 GB of RAM with a 32 bit system? Yes, move to 64 bit for a million reasons.
