I need some help - KatsuyaJ - 03-09-2016

Just yesterday I found out about dolphin emulator and I downloaded first the 4.0.2 version, it ran ok however after about 20 minutes the program stopped working, and this happened every subsequent time. I then downloaded the 4.0-9103 version and I still got the same problem. Am I missing something? My OS is windows 10 64-bit.

Does it happen in every game you try? Or just one?

It's possible that your laptop is overheating like every non-gaming laptop
Check the temp with Realtemp when you run Dolphin for 5 mins . If it hits 90C or higher ...you know what to do , right ?

It happens every time I have tried, as for the temperature, I am checking that just now to see what's the temperature while I run Dolphin

This is the result of the RealTemp after 10 minutes in game:

Dolphin has been running for over half an hour without problems yet, I'll report if anything, also, since TP for Wii U just came out I felt like playing TP again so I got the emulator, and I see that the minimap doesn't display properly, is there a way to fix that?

What is the problem with the minimap? Is it missing entirely?

Yes it is, or just a shadow of the map is shown

Are you sure Dolphin is running at the same time you test ? If so , there is no way in hell CPU load would be 6.7% . Isn't ypur CPU in idle mode ? That temp is normal for a CPU in idle mode , not possible for a CPU in full load
Your CPU has only 2 cores with 4 threads . Normally , CPU load would be higher than 50%

I'm sure, I was playing Twilight Princess while I had the program running
