I downloaded Dolphin on my new computer and when I clicked the .exe an error message came up saying "The Program can't start because VCOMP100.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". Im trying to run it in windows 7 64bit on the new imac.
I had the exact same problem, you need to install Visual Studio 2010 or something

Yeah, I should have reposted. It runs full frames on the initial island but slows a little when things get more hectic, down to like 26-27 frames when running at 2560x1440. If I set it to 1080p it runs at full speed all the time and still looks incredible. So happy with it.

stupid question but is there a way I can rip my wii/gc games to my imac directly or do I have to use homebrew on wii?

Unfortunately I don't have F-Zero so can't check it out, but I'm sure it would run like a dream. I will try out Mario Sunshine on the weekend, that would look amazing in Dolphin. Wind Waker in particular looks bloody incredible though.
That's using Bootcamp with Windows 64bit.

I've been playing with Dolphin's ability to rip individual files (or all of them) from GCN/Wii disc rips. It's been especially fun to run across the odd set of sounds that will play in Winamp without any plugins I didn't already have. In particular: Super Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Bros., and F-Zero GX were some of them I was pleased to see. Rockin' that Captain Falcon music.
Also allows me to find out interesting things like that while Super Mario Sunshine is a 1.1 GB game, only 257 MB of it isn't FMV.

Apologies if this is answered anywhere else in the thread, but does anyone know how to get more virtual storage space with this emulator? I'm not sure how saves work, and I'd like to think this emulator can get around the data restrictions that make sense on the console, but not so much on a PC.

Not so much. For emulation's sake, I'm assuming they deliberately don't make enhancements and just mimic the system as is so as to not break anything. Though for the GameCube, it's easy enough to just backup the User/GC/MemoryCard files and generate new ones as needed.

Damn son, FAST looks nice.

It's a winamp plugin which allows you to play the vast majority of audio in GC and Wii games. Works great along with dolphin to rip them.

So I just had to say, I finally tried this out tonight with Metroid Other M, running at 1920 x 1080 and I need to get a damn wireless sensor bar cause it looked amazing.

If you have a 360 or other gamepad, I made a pretty terrible tutorial video on mapping the controls on only a gamepad.

what cooling do you have that you can OC an i7 920 to 3.5?
At what temps are you running ?

This what i'm running, minus the 460 that was taken out and i'm selling.
my cpus run 35-40 on idle.

Yup. It's been a great CPU since I bought it. Highest it's hit is 76C after about 8 hours at 100% load. I'll probably use watercooling for my next build, since prebuilt watercooling systems are becoming more efficient and readily available, but Noctua's air cooling has served me very well.TheExodu5 said:
Audie, just from looking at that build I'd say you could shave off a bit of heat if you'd orient your fan so it pulled air from over your RAM instead of the hot air off your GPU. But that would require reseating your heatsink.

I reoriented the fan after that photo. i don't remember right know if it is up or down right now.
will let you know when i check the PC later.
Tatsunoko is looking hot there. Any special texture filtering or are they that good?
Also, while my 4 cores are going insane at 80%-90% each when emulating some games, my CPU never goes beyond 15%. What happened to that option to offload some processing power on the GPU, with CUDA? I remember only seeing it on some SVN build a long time ago.

Damn, TvC lookin' nice. I'm terrible at fighting games outside of Smash, but I'm a bit bummed that I didn't grab it for $10 when I saw it at Best Buy on clearance.

So if I can get a couple games to run full speed in PCSX2, what are the odds I can use Dolphin well? Obviously I would assume it depends on the game, but...

Why is my in-game resolution stuck at 1460x914 no matter what I set it the config to?

Oh, Punch-Out is working again? Good.jediyoshi said:
Assuming you are on a newish bulid. If you're running in a window make sure you've set the window to resize correctly and if you're full screen make sure you're using that option. I remember in older bulids it liked to change my resolution at random (but these were the ones where you full control rather than limited by the drop-down list).L0st Id3ntity said:
I'm actually on a recent build now (which was fun as the usual as you're missing some other .dll file happened then the 64-bit version didn't work at all) as I decided to finally get my Classic Contrller pro working as a gamecube controller to play some Gamecube games (basically glovepie script which calls to imaginary PPJoy controller) and the game I was playing had issues in my old build. I'll have to remember to migrate all the Wii data over it to soon *sigh* and also fiddle with settings.
Edit: That was simple. Fixed the Baten Kaitos menu graphics issue by setting EFB to ram then enabling cache. Well I don't think I quite did I think I've just made a new problem
Now to see if the layering glitches are gone...Edit2. Nope. This is what I mean its a minor distraction. also need to check if the freeze effects and some effects are working...

is this worth doing on a mac?
Hey guys so I really want to try this emulator out to play some of my favorite games in HD and I have some questions.
I was wondering if there was a downloadable config out there or a tutorial to configure the Dualshock 3 for Dolphin use?
Is there an updated configuration tutorial like the one in the OP for the current version of dolphin?

What the... this looks surprisingly good. I expected it to look like trash honestly.

Is your computer already set up to use the DS3 as a gamepad? That's a bit of a process in and of itself. The assigning of gamepad buttons to buttons to use in Dolphin is pretty intuitive.

If your Wii is already homebrewed and you have your games backed up to an external drive, definitely. The initial process to get it running doesn't involve a lot of steps

Unfortunately my YT Channel has gone kaput along with all my Dolphin videos I neglected to back up. Luckily this and finals week being over gives me an excuse to go back rerecord everything on more current builds.

Do you mean under the Device dropdown in the Wiimote Configuration section (assuming it's being emulated as a 360 controller) that 'XInput/0/Gamepad' (which should be what corresponds to your gamepad) isn't listed sometimes?
