All i get when i run Dolwin (i've tried every single setting), is the following:

http://cablemodem.fibertel.com.ar/federelli/error.png

The only way to get something to boot is to enable the developer console, and still all i get is a memory card missing error (obvious cuz there is no mem card at all), and a gray screen with no display whatsoever :).

Tried demos and games, thanks for reading :).

Edit: Fixed image, and godamn typo (it's like the fifth time)

[HyperHacker]

Kinda hard to help when the image won't show up...

[Ly Mathews]

Yeah, it's even harder when he's talking about Dolphin in Dolwin's forums.

[PsyMan]

He is talking about Dolwin... Damned typos they show up from nowhere :P
Regarding the problem, try to set all the options to their default values, set the console version to "the latest production board" from the emulator settings and make sure that you're using Dolphin's video plugin (not the original, the one from Dolwin's website). You should also try to tweak the other options.

[Federelli]

There fixed, and thanks for the understanding Psyman :). I've tried defaults and all sorts of values :(, no good.

[remmy]

Had the same issue here. You just need to remove Dowin's registry entries.

[Knuckles]

the Gekko CPU errors are normal most of the time, it's not a bug, it's most of the time smth that isn't emulated or smth the emu does that it shouldn't.

Don't worry with that, us, beta testers, got A LOT of those while debugging :P

Federelli do not understand me badly, I was just kidding with you. ;)

[Federelli]

No prob Ly :).

Anyway, i've deleted the only Dolwin entry if found and it's sub-entries in the registry, funny thing is it was a Dolwin 0.10 entry. And apparently everything's fixed now.

Tough i still get similar exceptions when using the compiler, which is completelly understandable. (though they are not zero filled this time :))

The Doom for gamecube demo isn't working :(
The Yeti3D demo is :)

[Federelli]

Well, is anything supposed to work?

Nothing but Pong works, not a single thing happens as stated in the Games.ini file.
I guess Dolwin just hates my PC.

[Knuckles]

or you didn't set anything right in the CPU settings or are too impatient to wait a bit :P

do not use the recompiler as it is not implemented.... interpreter only
also those errors are normal...what games are you trying to run?

[Federelli]

I've tried:

Animal Crossing (USA)
Bomberman Land 2 (JPN)
Bust-A-Move 3000 (USA)
Crazy Taxi (EUR)
Ikaruga (EUR)
Luigi's Mansion
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (EUR)
Mario Party 4 (USA)
Mario Power Tennis (USA)
Paper Mario 2 (USA)
Pokémon Colloseum (USA)
Resident Evil 4: Trial Edition (USA)
Star Wars: Rebel Strike - Rogue Squadron III (USA)
Star Wars: Rogue Leader
Starfox Adventures (EUR)
Super Mario Sunshine (USA)
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (USA)
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (USA)

None worked, either:
a) "exception during emulation run-flow!"
b) Grey screen.
c) Green screen.

Demos:

acube
Pong! (only thing that works, and 1fps :P)
yeti (sort of works)


--------

I tried both the default video plug and Dolphin's, no good :(.
My settings are at default.

I really look forward to this emu :)

[Federelli]

[DarthDazDC]

I've got the patch on Dolwin but when I run mario sunshine nothing happens, it just stays at the gray screen, there must be something I havent done that you have knuckles.

[Jeil]

Just made Bust a Move 3000 work :D

Comprueba los valores de CPU Delay, Hardware Update Bailout, Counter Factor te recomiendo 10-5-1, ves probando pero ya te digo que deberias obtener mas resultados con mas juegos incluso sin parches, revisalo.

Salu2 Compadre.

[Federelli]

You are prolly using DSP in normal mode or a wrong version of the console

------------------------------------
1st: clear your registery entries for dolwin
2nd:go in the settings
under emulator set :
-CPU core = Interpreter
-Memory Code = Simple translation
-Counter Factor = 4
-Counter Delay = 2
-Hardware Bailout = 1
-check MMX/SSE if you want
under the GCN hardware :
-select 0x00000003 , latest prodution board
-leave unchecked all the other options
under GCN HLE:
-check Highlevel geometry library (MTX)
-check DSP Fake mode
-leave everything else unchanged
3rd : take the Dolphin's video plugin


Now, try that, those are my settings that I use for beta testing, the CPU timing settings are those where I get the most fast/stable games.

You will get a lot of errors if you don't use the DSP in fake mode and if you use another GC hardware.

[Federelli]

-Counter Factor = 4
-Counter Delay = 2
-Hardware Bailout = 1

Using that, i no longer get errors, but i do get gray/green screens, and nothing else.

[Jeil]

Are you using the Dolphin plugin? Or are you using the original Dolwin plugin? If you dont have Dolphin plugin, you wont be able to obtain any result, (or not really good), make sure you're using it.

[Federelli]

I'm using both. Don't you know me already? :)

[_Chrono_]

Federelli, the white screen and black line in Ikaruga is normal. thats the video sequence (Atari Intro) that Dolwin isnt rendering. Wait a while and you should get to menu after that

[Federelli]

I figured that, but i didn't feel like waiting, thanks for all the support guys :).

Anyway, i expect the next release with arms wide open :D.

Que pelotudo. xD, I hope that you're using a poweful PC, dont expect spectacular progress with a card < than an ATI RADEON 9550/ Nvidia 5600.

[ArgJuli]

I have the same problem of Federelli but I think its because of my video card: S3 Prosavage DDR....becasue my PC is new and its a P4 2.6Ghz....

Not quite, Dolwin has a lot of settings to toy with. Some games will only work under certain circumstances. But you should still update your video card to be able to emulate Gamecube at all. :P

[ArgJuli]

Yeah....I am going to buy a new video card "GeForce FX5300" but...Vile324 what settings are you talking about??

[omfgman]

-.- lets bring this old post back... does any1 know how Federelli fixed this problem?

[emuexpert]

sorry for being a noob, but where can i find Dolwin's registry.. :blush:
I tried regedit but can't seem to find it

[NintenDS]

Hmmm...

Use the cleanregistry.reg in the main folder and try that...

Good luck from NintenDS!

[NintenDS]

Actually, open the file in Wordpad and it will tell you where to look...

[NintenDS]

Settings for MK: DD, please. I'm getting exceptions.
