Problem with a game I should be able to run

[Its_me_I_guess]

A few years ago, I had a crappy computer (Pentium III 933 MHz) and a crappy videocard (nVidia TNT-something??? not important), but still, on Dolphin 1.02 I could run Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Sure, with only 3FPS or something, but I could get fully in-game and, besides speed, play the game it was meant to be. Including sound.

Now that I have a much better computer + videocard (AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+, 3,01GHz, 2,00 GB of Ram, with a nVidia 8500 GT card. OS is 32-bit so no BETA version for me), I figured I should get at the least 10 FPS, which would make the game playable enough for me. The FPS was higher than I expected with a lowest of 15 (and a highest of 400-something, but only at the title screen so not important). However, once I went in the race, blackness. Also, I had no sound at all.

Luckily, I remembered I followed the instructions of http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.ph...ht=double+dash to get it to work back with my crappy computer. So I followed the written instructions, besides "tick modify 1" and "overlay some complation errors" as I couldn't find those options anywhere. Now, I got a bunch of colored lines, while at the same time freezing my computer, then going to the blue screen of death, and before I could read anything my computer restarted. I tried it again with same results. Now I looked at the pictures and enabled "overlay some statistics" and switched "default display list optimization level" to zero. Same result.

So, how can I run Mario Kart: Double Dash!!? If that old crappy computer of then could go fully in-game with sound and all, this computer should be able to do it as well! Thanks for the help.

P.s. just as a curious question, I'm sorry if this isn't allowed: the BETA version of Dolphin has quite some things that appeal me, but unfortunately it's only available for a 64-bit OS. Will there once be made a 32-bit OS version of it? I'm fully aware it wouldn't be as good as the one for the 64-bit OS, but the Dual-Core support and the speed being more CPU-dependant sounds very nice to me.

You're full of shit if you say you played MKDD with sound and it went fully in-game. It never worked then and it still does not work now, no matter what PC you have.

It's not your PC, it's the emulator. The emulator is just not ready to be used till it gets more developed.

It's a never ending story over here, we really need a bold message saying don't bother asking about playing games, they don't work yet. Give them some more time to get the emulator right.

With those options, it worked. The sound wasn't really pleasing to hear it (it went as laggy as the game went), so I guess I can better play without it, but it worked. And apparently, I'm not a special case, looking at the comments on the page with the options you should have when playing Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

hmm afaik mkdd does work with dolphin and goes ingame... but i never had sound! S:

Fully in-game means you can play the game through to the end. Not be able to play a race or part of a race and have it crash or bug out.

There is no sound, man. Enough with the lies. Sound was not implemented yet, how can you have sound when it was not put into the emulator?

...there is sound in the emulator. It just isn't fully functioning with every game yet.

Such negativity, Starscream.

I don't find anything ridiculous with the OP. He ran it at unplayable speeds, and the sound followed suit. Perfectly within the realm of believability.

You guys need to acclimatize to Starscream He´s rude to every newbie and thats a normal thing even i had some years ago^^
Bhakti is right... there is sound in some games but not in MKDD and thats sadly fact.

Its_me_I_guess:
There cant be a 64bit dolphin on a 32bit OS... But 32bit versions will still appear in the future!
