i think i corrected errors with plugin but when i try open the game i got couldn't grab 1 gb memory then exe crashed what i'm doing bad?!
 
Try to get rid of or close down other programs that are running in the background that may be using your system memory. Not sure but that may help. I have never had this problem and I only have 1gb of system memory. I have almost nothing running besides dolphin when I use it.

"later i got "Panic!" again when i want open the game:
Failed to grab 1 GB contigious memory!"

this error is related to not having the decryption file in the WII folder.

I dont get it, but it was said that maybe theres some procces using too much RAM. Maybe you should try to close your antivirus, and programs like iTunes, Windows Media Player, and any aplication of Office. Then you should try...By the way, what SO are you using? Windows XP x64? or Windows Vista???

You should never close your antivirus for a reason like that. I also don't think that many people run Windows Media Player, iTunes, and an Office application simultaneously while trying to run Dolphin, either.

Having common sense is preferable, you know.

thats not true, you do not need that file to use dolphin (in gamecube mode).

It happens when it can not allocate 1gb of continous memory which happens if you're low on memory. It also happens more often on the 32b version. Just close down all unneeded applications and try again.

I use win xp 32bit with 2 GB of memory and do not suffer from this message (antivirus, webserver etc is all on).

hey, you should probaly increase your paging file

Right click my computer and properties
Then click the advanced tab, and where it says performance click settings
Then proceed to go to the advanced tab and change the normal paging file, try a size that is stable enough for dolphin to run.

Uh, no...

Start --> Right-click My Computer --> Properties --> Advanced --> Performance Settings --> Advanced --> Change --> change the maximum filesize option to something higher --> OK --> restart your computer.

I've tried that x-fi and it didn't work. I didn't get this error until I installed Kaspersky. But obviously I'm unwilling to give precedence to Dolphin because the reason I installed it was that I got infected with a massive trojan and had to reinstall Windows.
