I had no problems running 32bit on Win7 7000 32bit... other than the normal crashes and problem I get on XP 32 bit.

When i want to start Dolphin, it says: Couldnt init the Core. Check you configuration.


RE: Support for Windows 7? - nosound97 - 03-25-2009

Windows 7 is basically a Vista, thus I see no reason why it wouldn't be working.

Works better than vista - Strid3r1990 - 04-09-2009

I've been using dolphin on windows 7 for a few months now and its better than vista (unless they happened to make a change to the code which made a nice performance boost at the same time i switched to w7).

Windows 7 seems to use a lot less of cpu during tasks (windows explorer is a lot lighter), freeing more clock cycles for dolphin.

I'd recommend everyone to switch to windows 7 if your on vista.
