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.php?t=37542&highlight=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.
