Zelda TP Problems

Hi all,
Yes, I realize my first post here is a question, and for that I'm sorry. I have done a few searches to figure out an answer but have had no luck.

I'm running the latest version of Dolphin (beta 3) on XP x64. Otherwise, system specs are:

Geforce 8800GTS 640mb
Pentium D 3.4ghz
4GB DDR2 (ddr800)

I have dynarec unchecked, dual core unchecked, as per advice from the forums. However, I can't get over 3fps for whatever reason, and couldn't help seeing others posts where they were achieving 30+.

Res is 640x480, shaders are v2.0, no antialiasing.

Anything I'm missing here?

Thanks in advance!

You are using Dolphin 1.03.2 that has support for dual core processors and 64-bit enhancements, right?

No matter how kickass your computer might be, it won't achieve playable speeds on the regular 32-bit version of Dolphin. Welcome to GameCube emulation.

Pentium D 3.4ghz?? No, you need Core 2 Duo or above and with Vista 64 bit vesion of Dolphin which is better I think.

P4D is a dual-core Prescott processor (2x last gen of P4 processors). I'm using the 64-bit version (as XP x64 has the same 64-bit emulation as Vista does.. keep in mind Vista 64 and XP x64 are both not true 64-bit operating systems.. they are x86-64 as microsoft calls it).

I didn't THINK 30fps was possible, as I'm aware the complexity of emulation. I just noticed a few posts of people claiming to be getting around there!

Using framebuffer, I'm able to get 13 fps which isn't too bad!

Help me, please! I've downloaded image of Zelda TP and trying to play on my Vista 64-bit system, Dolphin Final 1.03.2 x64 Public Beta and... it's failed. I'm dont understand why, because my Resident Evil: Remake perfectly emulated (menus, character select). I've attach the screen-shot below. Please, help me! I want to play Zelda TP!!! :(

change the processor when you can trust me it will be worth it..

i doubt it is intel dual core... nd if it is still might just get DC2 you will get it..

This might work for you as it did for me, I have a q6600, 4gb ram and an 8800gtx, I can now run zelda tp with both dual core enabled and dynarec and have between 20 and 40 fps at most times, this is on xp 64.

This is what I did.

Download the dolphin beta 2 64:

http://emutalk.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=37277&d=1187728380

and the dolphin beta 3 64:

http://emutalk.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=37295&d=1187808082

The old beta 2 64 contains 2 executables one for single core and the second for dual core, we will be using the second one with dual core support.

unzip both folders but from the beta 3 folder remove the plugins called:

1. Plugin_VideoDX9.dll
2. Plugin_DSP.dll

you can also remove the pad plugin if you want to use a game pad, I did.

3.Plugin_PadDX9.dll

Now you need to place all 3 files in the plugins folder within the 'dolphin beta 2' folder.

thats it just choose the plugins from the settings, configure your resolution (1280x1024 is the best I could get working) and start the dolphin dual core .exe from the dolphin beta 2 folder.

enable dynarec and tick the 'ignore unemulated opcodes' option.

heres a couple of screenshots :

so far this trick has only worked for tp for me.

Another thing that helps fps quite strangely is running a programme called rivatuner in the background ( maybe it could work with any programme?), for e.g when I am running rivatuner in the background my fps for zelda windwaker on dolphin beta 3 with dual core and dynarec enabled incrases by nearly 50%( it also helps improve twilight princess fps with the method above).

Incase some of you do not realize, there are problems with every GC game know to man on this emulator. None of the games are playable and none of the games are worth trying to play on this emulator. Just give it up already.

Why users insist on making the impossible work on something that is not possible I will never understand.

All of this works to get my fps rate higher but it makes the game crash right at the opening part of zelda. Man I wish I could find a way past this problem. I am running a Pentium D 2.7GHz ! Gb RAM with emt64 so vista 64 and a Radeon Xpress 200 series. If anyone has any ideas send them my way please. Maybe there is a patch I can grab...

hi,
i have also a prob with tp. i hope i can explain it and someone can help me.
i know my pc isnt that good but harvest moon starts. only tp not.
im working with 1.02 cause i have xp32 and no 64-cpu.
my configurations:
as far as you cant change much in audio, dvd and pad, i list the graphics configuration.
graphics card: nvidia geforce 4 mx "should work great" says dolphin
device type: HAL
use shader: no
resolution: 640 x 480 cause i thought it would run faster
no antialising cause with on, the game crashes. ("direct3D device creation failed" and the prog shuts down)
if i start zelda, there appears a message "audio problem. unknown ucode (CRC=6ca33a6d) - forcing AX". i shut off audio, but the message still appears and the screen is white.
is there a mistake i could have made? (pls do not say i should by it)
pls, maybe you can help me.

Simply put, some people here seem to get very angry at people that mention or hint in any way that they use downloaded ISOs for one reason or another. That member didn't break any rules by asking his question from what I could see, so I doubt he'll be banned for that (just ignored)

thank you fpr your answer.
i cant play with antialising. i have to shut off otherwise the message apppears and the prog has to be closed.

i disabled the framebuffer and now my screen is green-black. why???

i also tried dolphin 1.03 on a friends vista64. the game runs with 10 frames and no sound, cause the audio problem message appears too. you say i have to wait 5 min? then i have sound?
