Problem with the LATEST Dolphin version, or any recent ones overall? - Flotonic - 02-13-2010
I got the latest version from Emulator-Zone.com, and I've had problems with it. Loading a .gcm file results in it complaining about there not being an input plugin set up. "No problem," I think to myself. I go to the "Choose Plugins" deal to set up an input plugin. I click the dropdown menu, and I see NONE.
By this point, I know what you're thinking. "Heh heh. The dummy doesn't have any video plugins." Actually... I've downloaded multiple via Google searches, and, when I'm moving the file into the plugin folder, it says that one is already there under the same name. I replace it, thinking that the one already there is corrupt or something, getting the same result.
I did, in fact, download one of the first versions of Dolphin already set up, but the best I can get is 2 FPS, when I see demonstration videos on YouTube of people with my same specs, and sometimes even lower, yet they get 50 FPS and above, so I'm sure it's the version number... that's why I'm making a big deal about wanting the latest one to work.
Hopefully this isn't too much of a hassle, and hopefully a solution is found to this problem. Thanks!

I don't know anything about emulator-zone.com but head to http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/forum-6.html and download a newer version of the emulator and see if that fixes it.

Just tried it. I get the same problem with it not being able to recognize the controller pad plugins.

Thank you, nosound97 for pointing out that I needed an update to DirectX, and thank you, jedikevin20, for the link to it! It recognizes the input plugins now!
