If you have visual studio setup correctly, when dolphin crashes you will be given the option of using VS's Just In Time debugger to debug the crash.

However, if you want to start debugging from VS, you should make sure the working directory for Debugging is set to $(TargetDir) in the Dolphin project's properties. (Dolphin is probably trying to scan a nonexistant folder for plugins in your case.)

thank you.

now the VS debugger open the plugins.
now i am going to take a look the source code, according to John Peterson Starfox Adventure problem can be something in the DVDInterface that is wrong, but this can take me several months. lol. is not easy understand everything. Tongue

thanks again shuffle2 Smile

Did you make the Debug executable load the Debug versions of the plugins?

yes, of course.

the Debug executable is not working but the Debug Fast executable is working, so i'm using Debug Fast.
is very strange, don't you think?
