Dolphin Final 1.03.2 x64 Public Beta (single/dualcore support)

[Falcon4ever]

I guess some guys thought we never would update this page again ;)...

Last year the Dolphin Beta testing team (CKemu/Chaoscode/Knuckles) already posted shots of Dolphin 1.03.2 x64 which also has dualcore support.
Original thread link: http://emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=39432

Well finally you can test this version aswell, however there are a few general notes:
- Remember that this version is a PRIVATE BETA version.
- This means it is less stable than Dolphin 1.02, USE AT OWN RISK.
- This version requires a 64bit operating system (either Windows XP64 or Vista64)
- SO IT WILL NOT WORK ON A 32BIT OS (GOT THAT?)
- The graphics/audio plugins haven't been upgraded.
- Due core changes some games might run better, some might run worse or not at all
- Speed is now CPU dependant, dualcore is obviously helps a lot.

Quote from Chaoscode: "SSBM is 100% playable with 100% speed on my crappy computer."

Enjoy this Public beta testing release, and...
don't forget to thank ector & F|RES in this thread!

*UPDATE*
BETA 3 now aswell available =]

[-indecisive-]

THANKS! Can't wait to try out once I get a new PC parts. Thanks, ector & F|RES :satisfied

[Knuckles]

zomfg woo I was waiting for that one!!!..



...oh wait.... I already have it since ever ... doh :P

[Martin]

Nice, good job! :D

[thepreserver]

amazing! my heartrate was going out of control when i saw this, can't wait to try it out eventually!!! :D thanks ector and F|RES! I hope that 30-day Windows XP x64 trial is still available...

[emwearz]

Just gave it a quick test, nice speed improvements all around, good work cheers for the release.

[rickmetroid]

I just wonder if it can play twilight princess as Ector said that was almost at full speed.

Congratulations to Ector, F|RES and the beta tester team.

[cyclonmaster]

Hooray...finally dolphin released :)

[zaba_3]

Its about time ;)
Now i need only 64-bit OS :S

[MasteroftheWind]

Good first I need a bigger hard drive than a 64Bit OS.

[[SS] Starscream]

I'm only getting about 8-9 fps on the single core 64bit version with SSBM with a AMD64 3200+ @2.2GHZ, although it seems to be running faster than that.

[Ma Chao]

Hurray, a new Dolphin release! But wait, I don't have a 64bit OS... d'oh!

Oh well, nice to an update to this emulator, keep up the good work :)

check "dynarec" option

[ggab]

great to see this excellent news *_* :) !

[XdaywalkerX]

smbb runs away... the game is to fast...

and i've a problem with mkdd - i can't get a clear picture

any idea?

specs

8800 GTS
E6300 @ 3,3 Ghz
2 GB of RAM
WinXP x64

[Knuckles]

When you're ingame, go in the video plugin options, turn off shaders.. enabled "overlay some statistics". go back ingame, then return in the video config and turn back off the statistics... it won't be as pretty but it will be clearer,

[knight64]

Ok thanks for this greaaaatttt release.

with dynarec option on my mono core amd 3500+ @2,5Ghz with a 6600 GT
SMS runs at 25fps .... just no sound ...... doesn't like my old audigy 2 zs maybe ...

great work, sorry for my frenchy english :blush:

[seijou]

Thank you very much for all of your hard work! I am amazed at what you have accomplished.

Does anyone know of a method to lower the frame rate to a reasonable speed? I know there is not frame limit option, but is that the only means to do so?

[ScOr_311]

OMG!!!
Dolphin is not dead, thx for this very great news.
But wait, oh no f... , i have not 64bits OS. :down:
I will waiting for try this beta. thank you Dolphin team for your great works.
:party:

[XdaywalkerX]

the code 4 the emu isn't optimized, isn't it? - the emu doesn't use my full system ressources and cause speed impacts (take a look at the screens)

[[SS] Starscream]

I don't think they planned on releasing this to the public but since they have stopped work on it they said "what the hell" lets just do it. So lets not bitch and moan about this version not being right and lets just enjoy something new to use.

[BlueFalcon7]

Wow, holy crap! I never thought I would see the day...

Congrats guys, this is what I like to see. Gamecube games are officially playable (sorta) on my E6600 (which is pretty freaking fast) I can get 1/4 speed on Zelda

NICE Job! This almost calls for celebration :)

Just dont release something fully playable too quickly ;)

[cooliscool]

Fucking epic. Great work guys.

[lightchris]

Really, really nice speed improvements. So it is indeed possible to achieve playable framerates with current hardware in GC emulation. :)

Amazing work @ the team!



edit: One question: I don't get any sound neither in Wind Waker nor in Super Mario Sunshine (the 2 games i tested so far). Is this normal or has it something to do with my soundchip or my configuration? My onboard soundchip is a Realtek HD Audio. It's the same problem with the latest 32 Bit release of Dolphin btw. (which is no wonder since the plugins haven't been updated).

[Agozer]

IIRC, most games do not have sound at all.

[Djipi]

I have a 32 Bit system , windows vista premium edition , 30078 Mo ram , geforce 8800GTS AND i can't play . . . It's so Bad . . .

[lightchris]

IIRC, most games do not have sound at all.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know.

[Nintendo Ace]

How would an Athlon 64 processor do?

[JKKDARK]

Nice a new beta, nice job :D

[Knuckles]

30078 Mo ram


30GB of RAM? not bad :P



for the sounds, all the "Nintendo" specific games (Pikmin, MKDD, Zelda, SMS, etc) will not have sound.... blame nintendo.

[[SS] Starscream]

I think it's alittle silly to say blame Nintendo that they didn't make their console easier to duplicate. When you take on a project like this you know what you're getting into as far as what will be a problem and what will not be. They just need to get it done somehow, or not.

[enix-sama]

Shadow the Hedgehog and Super Smash Bros. Melee are the only games that I have tested that have sound...

Were there changes made to improve compatibly, or is this new beta all for the sake of bringing it to 64x?

I would like to test a bunch of other games that have been deemed incompatible in previous versions, but it'd be nice to know if it would even be worth it.

[Toasty]

Man! :drool: I go camping for a week and the whole internet explodes with activity! Now I just need to get my paws on a 64-bit copy of Windows!

The problem is that the soundchip of the gamecube isnt well documented! There are no good specefics devs can use for a good audio plugin.
Thats all

[enix-sama]

I must have not had my speakers on when I tested DBZ: Budokai 2, it has full audio, music and sfx, it would be perfect if it weren't for that weird graphical glitch that renders it in the top left side of the screen.

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes still doesn't work :(.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door has sound as well, no music though.... ;)

[Stalkid64]

Just wanted to add how impressed I am with this. Tried a few self-ripped games, almost forgot how stunning Wind Waker looks. Amazing technical achievement! :party:
This has led to me digging out my GameCube games that I never quite got around to finishing now I remember how great some of them were.
Again, brilliant work. I haven't been quite as stunned by an emulation project since the early days of TRWin/TR64.

[BlueFalcon7]

As for the sound, the likely reason why it doesn't work on most Nintendo games, is that the sound for those games have not been cracked and documented. Sega games use ADX audio, which has been known how to play even before the gamecube's time, since it has existed for a long time. Also, SSBM audio has been cracked too. Rule of thumb; if it works in the in_cube plugin, it works with the dolphin (besides AFC, and a few others.)

[MasteroftheWind]

I know that it gives a AFC Audio plugin for Winamp.
But not a AW Plugin.

[DooDahMan]

Ok I've given the Emu the run around and I don't know if it's my OS or my video card or the emulator but when I try to run Animal Crossing, there's something there but I just can't see it. Only when I hit the stop button on the Emu do I see the actual game screen very briefly. Sometimes it pops up for a second or two while it's running but that's about it?

Can anyone verify if this is just my system or is it the emu?

Also since I imagine this emulator probably would have been made on a pre DX10 machine, would it be wiser to use it with a 64bit version of XP rather than Vista?

Thanks! :bouncy:

[JinXD]

Grats on the release folks, never did get a 64bit OS to try it out myself =]

[NepSquare]

I'm using vistax64 and somehow, Metroid Prime 2 (NTSC) and Naruto 4 seem to work on and off... Did anyone notice the same? Cause afiak these weren't working on x64 beta3.

I wanted to trail and error this, but some how it seems totally random. Sometimes it does decode the mpg and doesn't get the WTF return code so you'll get ingame and sometimes you get b/w mpg and you'll have full compatability...

Metroid Prime 2 (3d looks great!) ran around 15-20fps btw, Naruto 4 beyond full speed. After a reboot Naruto 4 works 70% of the time and Metroid I didn't have the time for yet...

Anywho, I'd just thought I'd post my findings....'N

[Koba]

Hmmm, you guys did a wonderful job on this emulator, since I last used it, the speed is incredible, on my Vista 64 OS, with no drivers installed, I got more than 100% on SSBM, my system is:
Proc: AMD 3700+
Video: NX6800GS 256MB
RAM: 2GB
I beat the game on very easy mode few seconds ago, it never seemed to drop below normal speed, but it got CRAZY fast at the boss hand fight.
Naruto 4 never gets past the intro video, but oh well, thats ok, I'll try more games later. Heres my most sincere thank you for ector & F|RES, and all the others who helps make this emulator what it is today, you've all done an INCREDIBLE job.

[Mky762]

oh well yeah, if you have a 2 GB of ram your computer is insane, but for the games, they have to be .GCM not roms right

[_Zack_]

oh well yeah, if you have a 2 GB of ram your computer is insane, but for the games, they have to be .GCM not roms right

My dads Pc (which i sold to him :P) is a dual core 3.4ghz (per core) 2gb ram, 512mb nvidia (forget model no) gfx card..... But its only 32bit :(

If it was 64 bit i would be on it right now playing dolphin :evil:

[Mky762]

sry for being a noob at this but how do you know if your comp is a 32 or 64 bit

[NepSquare]

Well, the processor in your comp is either 32 or 64bits. If you have the latter, you can install for example either Vista x64 or XP x64(both needed for Dolphin)... You can still install 32bits Windows on a 64bits processor, but not the other way around.

Hope this helps...

[Mky762]

if im able to install vista i have the 64bits? i really dont know what your exactly talking about, but would it say anywhere in the computer like finding the model # and Ram?

sry for the frustration

[Toasty]

CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php) will tell you if your processor supports x86-64 instructions. Just download the latest version and run it. Look in the attached image to see what you're looking for. Of course, you'll also need to be running a 64-bit OS (64-bit processors can run 32-bit and 64-bit OS's) to use 64-bit programs such as Dolphin.

[Mky762]

uhh i dont even see that so im guessing i cant run it then

[Trotterwatch]

You can't unfortunately, 32bit only.

[Mky762]

so im guessing that it will say if its 64 bit in the information row, like in the other guys picture?

[diablo2121]

I have some questions concerning the Pad plugins.

First, with the 1.03.2 x64 Beta, whenever I attempt to configure the Pad DirectX9 plugin, I receive a box that says ChangeNumPlayers. NOte that I am using Vista x64 with DirectX10.

Also, is nJoy compatible with this build? I ask since I don't believe SDL is compatible with x64. Thanks.

[MasteroftheWind]

I get the same error with this plugin in the x86 version but it works.

[Ray Dream]

When I attempt to configure it, I get nothing at all.

[NepSquare]

Dito here, nothing to configure, but Mky: you can still use Beta 2 of Dolphin, which is 32bits.

I'd go for XP 32bits instead of Vista for your machine...

[diablo2121]

When you get nothing at all, are you using Vista x64?

[NepSquare]

I think that's related to Vista x64's DX10. Because on my other machine, XP x64, it's configurable.

[aru]

i don´t know if it only happens to me but starfox assault crashes randomly while playing but the game seems to be very playeable.. taking in mind the sound is played correctly. is that normal or do i forgot to turn on some options?

about zelda... in the level(outside) get between 24-27 fps which is almost the normal speed of the game(30fps i think) but when i go to a rom or small place it gets too fast!! hope there will be a way in the future to frame-limit the games.

here are some screenshots of starfox so you can see where it crash... i couldn´t get farther.... well my quad-core can´t do magic :D

[heftig]

I'm amazed how playable Twilight Princess is. :) Keep up the good work!

I'm stuck with the PadSimple plugin though. The DirectX plugin doesn't let me configure it. :/ I really want to use my Rumblepad2.

[NepSquare]

Weird, running it on XPx64 and after the
Changenumplayer error the config window pops up...

You have the latest version of DX?

[heftig]

Vista64. After the ChangeNumPlayers error appears twice, nothing happens.

[NepSquare]

It's dx10 related me thinks, on my other machine (Vistax64) the same happens as with yours...

[RockmanForte]

Is Zelda the wind waker fully playable ? Thanks in advance. I am fan of zelda, that's why. HEH!

[aru]

i haven´t played that much(am busy coding A.E.S) but as i can see it´s very playeable... i get 25-29 frames outside... if am not wrong(30fps is full speed) when i get into a room i get about 80-85fps which is too fast..

i´ve made few screenshots without(A.E.S my Emu programm) so that you can see the full window and the frames on it.

Neat! I heard about the telescope crashed or something from older emulator. Is it playable in this version much better?

[aru]

the game seems to be playeable with my pc as i sayd already... the reason why you can´t get further is because the gamepad plugin seems not to work after you get the telescope...

but the game doesn´t crash(look the pic)

[RockmanForte]

Okay, cool. Thanks for doing it for me. :)

[NepSquare]

Nope, sorry to rectify this but it's due to the game calling a sound init which the sound plugin doesn't suppport yet. It's possible to skip it completely if you know where to jump the function call and point it to another code.

Because Dolphin doesn't work with a patch-system and Hexing the executeable is not what I think the author's had in mind to make the emu more "compatible", you'd have to do it with a RAM editor on the fly or patch the iso (far stretch).

So unless someone of our community debugs the error and post the right address (if it's allowed), no-one (unlike the author's and the beta-testers) will be able to skip the function call or sound init.

My knowledge of debugging and coding is barely enough to make a trainer, I tried myself already but I haven't had any succes yet. (minus editing counters and text)

Mayb it's an idea to "patch" the sound plugin, if it's discontinued, because hexxing the app itself will not improve anything for the community as it would kill the function call for every game(being compatible or not)..

[Trotterwatch]

I believe Cooliscool is working on it.

[ector]

There will be a patch system in the next version.

And maybe a real solution... who knows? :)

[Knuckles]

I think after all the bugging I did to him finally gave a result :P

[NepSquare]

Wow, this is great news! The patch system will hopefully inspire the community to start involving/contributing themselves more than just waiting for a new release...

Anyway, it's great for us enthusiasts!!

Thx for the feedback guys!

[Clements]

All Pentium D CPUs have EM64T. The only Intel dual-core CPU that does not have EM64T is the Core Duo (Yonah), and a handful CPUs based on Yonah. A quick CPU-Z readout can confirm EM64T functionality.

//As you can see, I have a ugly graphic glith.
//Also, FPS are pretty low.

I was expecting more from my computer:
Core 2 Duo E6750 at 3,2 Ghz (I also tested without OC, some FPS were lost).
2 GB of DDR2 667.
Saphhire's x1950 Pro.
A fresh installation of XP 64 Pro SP2 with Ati's 7.9 x64 drivers.

//Ah, and yeah, only 1 core is being used :(

Ok, I "//" that because I solved it. Now I can get pretty goog FPS (40-60 at SSBM) but it goes too fast. I'll try with CPU-Killer and so. Ah, and the black textures keep apearing.

(But I notice an incredible improvement from 32 bits version, keep the good work!).


PD: Any help would be welcomed.

[lcddown]

When I go ahead and boot a game, everytime, I'm presented with this error message "Direct3D Device creation failed!"...

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T5300 @ 1.73Ghz
RAM: 2GB DDR2
GPU: Mobile Intel 945GM (224MB Shared)

If anybody can offer any help it's gladly appreciated...

[Agozer]

That mobile Intel chip is the problem. It's worthless for emulation, like all other integrated chips from Intel.

[nmn]

Ouch... Intel GPUs are pretty much useless... Last time i can remember, the Intel DirectX implementation didn't work very well, and the OpenGL one was even worse (Its possible that i'm wrong, because I don't actually have one up and running at this time)

If theres a way in hell you can get a better graphics card, meaning mainstream (Most random brands probably won't do it :() like NVidia or ATI, take the chance as fast as possible. Almost gaurenteed you'll notice a huge difference, especially if you can afford to grab a top of the line (Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS was pretty good IMHO)

[Agozer]

Well, he has a laptop, so he's choices on graphics chips is pretty limited from the get go. One should never try to run emulators that emulate complex 3D graphics on a laptop.

A good desktop computer with a decent graphics card is needed. Stay away from integrated graphics in desktop computers, as well.

[lcddown]

I get 9fps in an actual battle in SSBM using the 32-bit version of Dolphin which work fine on my comp...

Because the Dolphin X64 only works with WinXP/Vista 64 Bits operating systems. Read the Changes on the Dolphinsite ffs. :P

EDIT: Whopps, didn't read your previous reply, sorry. But your integrated Graphic-card is crappy. Doesn't care if you've 224 MB shared to your graphic card from your RAM.

What kind of problem appears?

[Killler07]

This new ver is really amazing :bouncy:

I've got 50fps on my laptop with ssbm.
Here's the first problem. Its too fast :D
Thats funny, normally all cry thats emus are too slow, now its too fast xD
Is there a possibility to limit fps?

There are also very ugly graphic glitches (look at page 9), is it possible to fix them? I guess it's in grapih settings.

And last but not least: Is there a working pad plugin for Vista? The included one has problems with DX10

Thanks for ya answers :D
I look forward to the next beta :D

[lcddown]

Direct3D Device Creation failure!

That message always appears when I boot a game on both beta versions of Dolphin 64 although 32-bit versions work fine...

You have any ideas what's going on?

[lcddown]

@Killer07:

To limit FPS try turning off dual-core or dynarec or a combination of both.

If that does not work download CPUkiller and set it to use your CPU at a level that will provide an acceptable FPS level for you.

[Shalafi]

There are also very ugly graphic glitches (look at page 9), is it possible to fix them? I guess it's in grapih settings.

No I haven't, sorry mate. But it's wierd. how can 32-bits of Dolphin work on your computer when the Dolphin X64 doesn't? :S

Try to find out something on Google, I'm sure it will help you solve your problem, I hope...

[Killler07]

@shalaft

I have an 8600M GT 512mb Ram with the newest driver from www.laptopvideo2go.com.

[lcddown]

@Bianc0neri: If ector, himself, the creator of Dolphin, had no clue what was going on I don't think Google can offer any help... BTW I already searched everywhere using google and the only threads that were somewhat related to my problem took me back here (dolphin @ emutalk) although all of those threads were related with 32-bit versions of Dolphin that about 2-4 years old but had the same 3D Device Creation error as mine...

[Killler07]

@Bianco... (sry can't keep it in mind :D)

Try playing around with your graphics settings.

For example when I set Antialiasing to 6x i get the same error.
1-4x works
Or try changing the Shader setting...
Well you can only try..:nemu:

Hey Killer07, I have the problem not Bianc0neri...

And BTW I already tried like 5 million times what you suggested and everything else you can try but, as ector says, it seems to be a bug in Dolphin... Some D3D flag has been set on the plugin that my crappy video card doesn't support...

So don't worry about my problem anymore... I'll just wait for the next release of Dolphin, when and if it comes... or else just screw around with the dll myself...

[s20dan]

Hi. I read that some of you are getting very high framerates insome conditions. You know you can limit your framerate to your refreshrate on your monitor by using vertical sync. and might have to use tripple buffer too. yeah 60hz is still very high, but its better than 200odd during the text areas of games. (I.E I get 200+ for the very beginning of zelda where it is explaining the story in the book, but using vertical sync, it stays at about 57 meaning you can read the text)

[NepSug]

Yes, work is nearly over

I'll have to try that since I'm getting similar speed problems. I didn't think any limiter in any shape or form was implemented.

Overall, It's definately much faster due to the utilization of my x64 OS and of course the dual core support (though I've never seen dolphin exceed the usage of one core on my system (25% CPU on my quad core machine) even with dual core support enabled for some reason)

[twilite]

wow, you guys rock out loud, quite amazing what you've done in the last six months or so, im REALLY impressed. With that said, i agree with the quad core guy, ive never seen it go over 50% ,using the latest beta, on my core2 duo. Thanks guys for all the efforts, you really are doing amazing things.

[calhau]

wow dolphin runs fast now :bouncy: (actually faster then it should).

on the top of the window it displays fps: 35 - 45 but it is actually running much faster is there any frame limiter option ? cuz i can't see it :plain:

[Agozer]

No, there isn't one.

[GoodBytes]

I have search the forum and cannot see any similar problem with solution.
If this was already asked, and skipped it when I was searching, I would like to apologize.

I have a problem, when I run a game I only see a black screen (no sound, and controls don't seam to work either). I tried to play around with the settings but it fails to show different results. I have also tried to wait 1-2 min to see if it will kick in, but nothing...

I have downloaded Dolphin 64 64-bit Beta 3 (also occurs with Beta 2) [downloaded here at post #1], and I just want to know (as I only have 1 game) if my game Ikaruga EURO simply doesn't work, despite the fact that I saw a screen shot of it running with the same version. of Dolphin.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Specs:
- Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
- AMD Athlon 64 4400+ X2 S939
- Nvidia nForce 4 32X SLI
- 1x Nvidia Geforce 6600GT 128MB of RAM
- 2GB DRR RAM
- no programs running on the back.

Thanks in advance.

[NepSquare]

Mayb your pixel shader isn't supporte?

[calhau]

or it may be a problem with the disc image

[GoodBytes]

No it's not the pixel shader...
Well it used to work with previous version of dolphin.... Now it doesn't even work on the older version.
It seams to stop working when I changed from XP to Vista 64-bit.
Maybe it got damaged due to a bad backup...

Thanks thus.

[Bianc0neri]

Thanks ector and thanks F|RES for this awesome emulator, it runs very well, and I've no problems with it. :)

Keep up the great work!

[MasteroftheWind]

Yesterday I tested on a PC with XP x64.
Zelda TP 30Fps wow thats much better than the x86 version.
Smash Bros Melee 60-100FPS LOL.
Thanks

[cybercrash]

wow masterofthewind , that sound awesome!! its like the gamecube itself..

btw will Pokemon XD Gale Of Darkness WORK??? on this new ver?

oh and , whats the point if ur buying a new windows, computer parts.. u might as well buy a game cube...

[RockmanForte]

Curious... Are Zelda TP and Zelda The waker fully playable or are there any crashes ? :)

[Agozer]

Curious... Are Zelda TP and Zelda The waker fully playable or are there any crashes ? :)
Wind Waker supposedly is. Don't know if it's playable from start to finish, though.

[RockmanForte]

Thanks.

I will wait for more information about the Wind Waker hopefully it is playable from start to finish. What about Zelda TP ? :)

[Sercio]

actually zelda ww hungs on some places due of sound request... but if you use a completed savegame then you can fight against ganon and finish the game. I know it because i did it before :P

[RockmanForte]

I dont want to jump to Ganon and finish the game. I want to play from start to finish and I dont use the completed save game at all. That's not for me. :)

What about Zelda TP

[LinkTheHero]

When You Reach a Boss Door In Twilight Princess And open it the Game Hangs like Wind waker Dose So Thats a No To completing Twilight Princess :(

[RockmanForte]

But you can complete wind waker ?

[Sercio]

Yoo cant begin Zelda ww and type name etc and play till end! You just can "jump" directly to the endfight and end the game in that way... but then you would get a normal end with staffroll and such!

[RockmanForte]

I dont understand what you are saying.

[Ma Chao]

What I think he's trying to say is that you can't play from the beggining till the end because some parts in the middle of the game hang. But you can beat Ganon (and therefore beat the game) if you use a save near the ending, see the credits and stuff. But I also heard of cheats or something like that to prevent from hanging in those parts, but I'm not sure of the details.

[txOjO]

Thanks to ector & F|RES for this best release of dolphin(beta or not is simply the best i tried).

Anyway, Zelda runs at 34 fps in this x64 version(vista x64) than a 12/14fps of x86 version in 32bits vista.

Thanks a lot!!!!!!! and keep up the VERY-GOD-Work :)
If this is a beta.....ufff i never imagine a final or more.

Thank you!

[Paulnpoosy]

I got Zelda 4 Swords working and i has no graphical problems..
ON my old(crappy) computer it goes at about 2 fps for most of the intro but then it speeds up to about 7 fps(Dynarec on and no Dual core)
When i got ingame it went at around 3fps only but as i said my comp isnt the best (yet im getting a new one in about a week or so and the specs are in my nic)but it will be faster on others computers.
i tried to get pictures but vista snipping not uploading to this site.
Great release guys
Thanks

Hi! One guy upload some shots from Resident EVil:Remake. It's emulated by Dolphin Final 1.03.2 x64 Public Beta. Take a look:

http://portal.san.ru/forums/journal/uploads/j15755_1201810620.jpg
Feel the difference? Why is "Gekko limited" in his shots? It's not a Dolphin? So, what is it? And FPS counter position is in upper-left corner of the emulation window. In my version FPS-counter is located in the bottom-left corner of the emulating window.
And i'm trying to play Resident Evil:Remake (PAL) on my Athlon DualCore 5600+/2Gb/GF8600GTS - nothing happens! Only black screen and fps changing from 25 to 40. May be it's not a playable?

[heftig]

It is Dolphin. That's what the beta looks like.

[soratheultima]

did you know that there is a free one year 64 bit version of windows hehe go to google and search and go to microsoft it will ask you to do a fill out sheet wich is free and costs nothing i did it and its cool

[coolcat12]

Will 32bit users still get a faster dolphin? :x

[MasterPhW]

Will 32bit users still get a faster dolphin? :x
I will be faster than the released 32bit binary I guess, but not as fast as the 64bit build. But to be honest, nobody really can say, till the new version is released, so relax till then.

[coolcat12]

I got got vista x64 for this. I tried SSBM and all is fine. But when playing for a little bit i get an error that says

Fatal error
Desc DBAT!WTF

Ignore and continue?
YES NO

I click yes then another pop up says that its a problem or somthing.
Then the game freezes.

Any one else get this?

Apparently, when I when open Dolphin, it says that I'm using a 32 bit. I've searched the forums and google and I've checked that I'm using a 64 bit, yet it's not working. Anyone know why it's not working, and can help me?

It will the moment someone hands detailed specs of the sound hardware to the developers.

It will the moment someone hands a detailed specs of the sound hardware to the developers.

If I rember correctly Factor 5 was involved in developing the gamecube's audio hardware (and the audio SDK: MusyX). These guys are technical wizards. Keeping in mind that it took 7 years to emulate their n64 games (Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, Battle for Naboo and Rogue Squadron only boot with Ziggy's LLE plugin) I'd say gamecube sound emulation is not coming soon.

Rockman, you need to get your reading comprehension a little bit better, he didn't ask when or ask for a dolphin release date. He asked a simple question.

I bet English is not your first language, and that is why many of you guys seem to never quite understand properly but are always the first to post.

It's all good. We all just have to wait for whenever these cool guys provide updates/info. Life is busy for everyone after all!

Be nice, ok ? :satisfied

Yes, English is my first language. Does it bother you when people have bad grammar? I think it bother you. Well, that's your problem. I'm a pretty easygoing kind of guy online, and it generally doesn't bother me, but I know that some people can't stand chat speak and other forms of poor grammar. Personally, the only things that bug me are When People Type Like This and sentences like "What's your favorite thing to do on the weekends?", which make me inwardly cringe as a result of training in proper English.

Don’t complain about poor grammar if you don’t have an adequate grasp of the English language. Reasons why I do not care grammar formalism is that I can speak/write English fluently but we all know that we are not perfect, anyway. :)

[[SS] Starscream]

Thanks for proving my point, you still have no idea what the hell you're talking about. This is not about grammar, (though your grammar is horrible) this is about comprehension, do you know what that means? It means reading a users post and understanding what that person is trying to say, that is also something you have no grasp on.

I'm not picking on you, really I'm not, just don't try to correct others when you have no idea what you're trying to say. Anyone who reads your comments can see this clearly, so just forget about it.

[RockmanForte]

Whatever you say. This is call insult. People like you like to insult about other's grammar because they are not good at anything themselves. They are very ignorant and they don't know what it's like to learn another language because they do not KNOW another language! I mean is that stupid of them? Yes... so, they insult because they are stupid.

Some people like you insults other people like me to make themselves feel great.

Guess what ? Exactly like someone here said: so many native English speakers can't spell at all and don't even bother about grammar - and most of these people don't know any other language...

Enough, ok?!

[[SS] Starscream]

I'm not trying to insult you, but when you post a comment and it is coming from you and it is in response to another users comment, it needs to be correct. If you go on making an ass out of yourself and not understand another users comment, you're going to get people like me here to correct you. Just know what you're trying to say next time and understand what others have said next time. Simple.

English is your first language, my ass. :)

[RockmanForte]

Believe whatever you want. No argument here.

[Sercio]

@ SS :
RockmanForte is a way longer member on this forum as you and has 1700 post compared to your 200! Insulting someone by discriminate his grammar does show youre ignorance! Not everyone on this world is born with the english language.
I stopped fighting with you long time before so please dont start insulting me again.
Best thing we all can do is to stop complain each other and try to be helpful!

You guys stick together, huh? The both of you who can not read or write correctly, or comprehend? Sercio?

Does this look like it's about grammar to you, or me wanting to insult him for fun? No, bob is asking if there will EVER be a 32-bit dual core version released at some point in the future. He does not ask when, as rockman suggests, he is not making the dev's unhappy, as he says. Rockman confused what bob was saying because rockman does not know english well enough and saw the word released, and figured he was asking for a release date. It's not about grammar, it's about totally confusing what one guy is asking and responding in a way that makes no sense at all. Can't you get that without it being about insults? If you're insulted that he does not know what he is talking about, then that's one thing.

Rockman has been a member longer than I have, haha, and he's been butchering the language longer, too. You guys make no sense when you post, as if him being here longer gives him a pass on being a dumbass or something. Get your facts straight before you post, please.

This is really so silly that you guys cannot see the error in all of this and what I'm talking about, it's sad, really. If you want to continue on looking like a bunch of shmucks, go ahead. Still no comprehension. This is a lesson you will need to learn when posting on forums. If you do not know what you're saying, it's best to not post.

I have to say, Starscream was being a real dick there. There are nice ways of correcting someone without having to throw an insult around. Also, don't take so much pride in claiming to be better than someone at English(eaasy language).

Anyone who reads YOUR comments can clearly see you do not comprehend nor grasp the situation yourself. It seems you take pride in being arrogant and that is good for you. Instead of grasping how bad you are at comprehending, you consciously ignore this since it will make you sad to realise how low intelligent you really are, naaw. I sensed your egocentric self in the gecko forum already and this just confirms it. Do you comprehend what the guy in the last post in the page before this means by "you were a dick"? You are one. The guy you are insulting are using advanced english words you cannot even dream about to grasp. Its redicilous how easy it is to notice how hard you are trying to complete your sentences...

[nmn]

People will never learn that being a dick is much worse than having bad grammar.

[[SS] Starscream]

You're all missing the point, go back and read post 145 to 149, rockman clearly didn't understand what the guy was asking. Then he took my correcting him and trying to make him understand what the guy was actually asking as being mean. My first post was to inform the guy that he didn't understand and he just took it badly. Then, it turned bad. All he had to do was say, yes,I realize he was not asking for a release date and I made the wrong comments there because I didn't understand, but instead he chose to play a victim in all this.

Not about him spelling a word wrong or missing a period here or there, that would be grammar. This is about understanding what he said.

[nmn]

Rockman Forte respects the developer. A lot. Sometimes misunderstands questions or overreacts. But how many sentances did it say to explain? "I think he meant..." would had worked. instead... ;)

[[SS] Starscream]

That's all I was saying, but he couldn't deal with it and went right to anyone who corrects him as being mean. I was mean after that, but not before. He didn't understand what the guy was saying and never understood what I was saying and probably never will.

[RockmanForte]

Yes, [SS] Starscream is the rudest person I ever met.

[SS] Starscream: I would forgive you. I have a hard time being around you but all would be forgiving.

Sorry for my awful english, but I'm from Argentina.. Thanks in advanced..Dolphin only has a Dual-Core option. It doesn't yet utilize all four cores of a Quad-Core processor (and from what I've been hearing it would take large amounts of optimization for the four cores to actually be used effectively, at a faster speed than Dual-Core).

Maybe in the future... But who knows when that will be?

Sorry guys never mind. It works now for some reason (and very well I might add!) on my t9300 2.5ghz dual core laptop with 4gb ram and 1gb intel robson turbo memory on vistax64.

[EmuFan]

Post editing, heard about it? Ah well, glad you sorted it out.

[Mahkleb]

So what about us poor saps with 32-bit OS's? I take it we have to wait? Very disappointing for me. Im not talking about the new development. I just hate waiting. >:C

Yes, poor saps with 32-bit OS's have to wait. -_-

[Bianc0neri]

It's not that hard to change to Windows XP/Vista X64 operating system.

The fact is I dont know anyone with the OS discs and I don't really feel like paying the $150+ just so I can play gamecube games on my PC right away. Also, I hear there were a lot of flaws with the XP 64-bit. :/

[bebetosss]

it is possible to emulate it in my computer??? thanks

[bebetosss]

emulate all games or not?

[bebetosss]

this is my system
OS:Windows vista ultimate 64 bits
CPU:intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2,66GHz 8MB L2
RAM: 8GB
Graphics:Nvidia Quadro FX 5600 6GB
suport the emulator???? please

[Agozer]

Yes. We can see your specs in your signature. Emulate all games? Hell no.

I see, yeah, of course, the emulator is for now in the early stage, but it emulate the games just fine in fact, and you can play SSBM with a resonable speed, just without sound. But I love this version, it's worth a try, definitely.

Your system is really a beast. But all depends on the emulator, it doesn't make any difference if your run the emualtor with the worlds best computer.

[Mahkleb]

In case anyone is wondering, my system specs are:
OS: XP Professional Version 2002 32-bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 GHz (x4)
Graphics card: nVidia GeForce 8600 GT
Motherboard: Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI with integrated soundcard (7.1 CH HD Audio)
RAM: 4GB DDR2 2.5 GHz (not sure about this, I lost the product paperwork)
Hard Drive: 500GB 7200 RPM

Its an alright computer, but better than my last one. :)

[Extreme Coder]

Hi,
I'm just wondering, but does F-Zero GX run with this build? And how well?

Thanks

[Seizure22]

Nope, NTSC-U and PAL F-Zero GX crash after the SEGA screen.

[Alan3002]

Hey everyone
Glad to see a new build of the emulator...I have read many times people complaining about this emu but its the only GC one so I say well done to you all
A bit disappointed that the new build is only for 64x systems and not 32x...hopefully a 32x version that supports dual core will be released
Anywho heres my specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium
2046mb RAM
Intel Core 2 CPU @ 2.00 GHZ dual core
Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS BFG @ 256 mb boosted to 1008 mb over the RAM

Any chance that I would be able to get Resident Evil Zero to work with the emu as its the only game I wish to play on the GC

Thanks and all the best

[Alan3002]

Bah it doesnt....how disappointing
It plays perfectly at the intro...the 1st cutscence is screwed up and when the game starts the screen is just a greeny grey colour :(
what I could do was turn on that wireframe thing and the greeny grey disappeared and I could see my character but as you know you cant exactly play a game in wireframe.....
ah well hopefully in the near future this problem will be addressed

[r0b3]

I don't get it, I just downloaded the dual core version, but when I try to run the dual core or even the single one, there's an error that tells me that it's not a valid Win32 application. What seems to be the problem, can anyone help me?

[MasterPhW]

Yeah, you need a x64 cpu and os.
Next time, reading first will help.

[r0b3]

Well, I actually read everything, the only thing is that I didn't knew how to find out if my computer or OS was that 64x and also didn't know what my error meant, but then again thanks for your "help"

[MasterPhW]

You just have to check the system settings and you will see which OS you have, e.g. Windows XP Home Service Pack 3 or Windows Vista x64, etc.

If one does not know for sure which OS he/she has, it's safe to assume that it's the 32-bit kind.

Hi,
I would like to thanks the guys behind this emulator, they've done a really great work on it !
I'm running it on Vista x64 with a 3.4Ghz E6600 and it's running pretty fast :)

it's actually running faster than it should at even more than 30fps using dynarec + dualcore options...

Hope there will be an implemented framelimiter soon... or maybe could you just release at least some parts of the src code ? (i'd really like to see how it's working :santa: )

anyway, it just needs a framelimiter and some work on the graphic side of things to be perfect :bouncy:

Here are some vids that i took with fraps :

Thanks and please keep up the good work =]
(p.s: i'm french, thus i'm sorry if my english is bad)

A "thank you" is alway great, but in the same post asking for the source isn't that nice. There are already a lot open source game cube emus out, you could check them, to see how they are working.
Nice videos, but a little bit short...

Yeah i already have Gcemu sources but there is definitely a lot of work to do on this one...
I just thought that some help (not only from me) would maybe speed up the development (...)
But nevermind open source is not usually that great on such a project

as for the videos, unregistered users of fraps can only record 30s of videos, that's why it's short :bouncy:

hi,

great job with this fantastic emulator!

I want to know how to slow down the running game, respectively how to limit the framerate?! Beyond Good And Evil runs on Dolphin 64 1.03.2 x64 (von Vista x64) with 160 frames per second... to fast for my taste! :)

Legend of Zelda: TP does not start... after the safety screen and the nintendo-logo the screen remain black.

My System:

Core 2 Duo 2Ghz
GeForce 7700go (169.62 ForceWare)
2 GB Ram
Windows Vista x64 Business

P.S: Why does Dolphin opens a new window to display the game instead of embedding it into the main Dolphin-window?

P.P.S: Is there a way to configure a xbox360 controller pad? Only my left analog-stick works.

[Agozer]

You can't limit the framerate.

[sl1nk3]

Zelda TP won't run if you're using "Dualcore" in the emulator's options :)

And there is no framelimiter yet :(

[Bianc0neri]

You can technically limit the frames using fraps, with fps locked at 30 fps.

[andho]

Thanx for the emu. Great work! :D

[RockmanForte]

Yes, I have a brand new computer Core 2 Duo and 2048gb of ram and GeForce 8800GT 512mb and Windows XP Professional x64.

I played Zelda TP and don't see any problem with it. I am inside the Forest Temple. The speed is between fair to fully speed. NICE!

I also notice that save sometimes stuck but most time I am able to save but sometimes it will be stuck.. beware. I hope it will be fix in the next version. Good job!

[CoolZone]

getting the dbat ! wtf error when I want to launch any bios from the menu on beta 2,3;also getting this error when I want to launch MK Deception.Any ideas?
I'm running Vista X64
