Dolphin crashes every time i start a game - mpg33 - 05-29-2010

I am using dolphin on linux. I try to play SMG2 but as soon as i open the game it crashes immediately. I get an error Cannot convert charset "Windows Japanese CP 932". Anybody know what this may be?

The game aint compatible with the current version of dolphin?
Have u tried more then one game?

Sounds like a startuperror when it needs more coding.
Ask in request forums or something

re-download dolphin and make sure you have 2.0 (latest version) because the makers of dolphin get better every new version (cause they awesome) and if that doesn't work then its probably your computer.

Or maybe if you buy the game and make a legal copy it will work...

I'm thinking its a problem with the emulator...not the game.

I'm getting the Cannot convert charset "Windows Japanese CP 932" too error too. All my game are North American NTSC. I'm currently using the latest SSE4.1(64bit) build found here
