Pikmin crashes Dolphin

$
0
0
Tried the newest build with Pikmin.
I never finished Pikmin in the GameCube ara, so I though to start with Pikmin 1, go to 2 and then play 3 on WiiU.
However, with my dumpled version (PAL German, Hash Verified -> http://redump.org/disc/1252/),
Dolphin (the latest build from today) is going to crash shortly after the beginning of the game.
Means you can move Olimar and after some steps a Windows Message Pop-ups saying "Dolphin must be closed due to an error" (or something similar).
Then I switched to Ishiruka, however with the same result.

Anyone else who has this issue or maybe a resolution?

D3D12 crashing

$

GameCube games crash upon loading a save file in the D3D12 renderer.
This problem occurs in version 4.0-9308 and later, it does not occur in 4.0-9292 and prior versions of Dolphin.
As far as I know, this problem only effects GameCube games and not Wii games.
This only happens in the D3D12 backend, D3D11 works just fine.

The GameCube games I tested were Super Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime 2, which both crashed when I loaded my save files.
The Wii game I tested was Super Mario Galaxy 2, which loaded just fine.

This used to happen to me in earlier versions of Dolphin, and I would delete the dx12 shader cache files after every dx12 session as a temporary workaround.
This time however, deleting the dx12 shader cache files does not solve the problem.

My CPU is an i7 6700k, which I recently upgraded to from and AMD FX 6350. My GPU is an R9 280, and I plan on upgrading to Pascal or Polaris sometime this year.
My graphics driver is Crimson 16.5.3, AMD's most recent driver.

Dolphin 4.0 freezing on OSX

Experiencing a technical difficulty while playing Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy on dolphin 4 installed on my sisters MAC. WHen I try to load both games the initial Wiimote screen loads then the entire system freezes (looks like the GPU is getting stuck on something).

Hunger Games seem to load phone like Mario Kart. I am not sure what is causing the problem but thought I might asking if anyone had similar problems

Donkey Kong Country Returns Freeze

I am sorry if this had to reported in the bugtracker or if this is the wrong section to post an issue, I actually never reported a bug before.

Donkey Kong Country Returns
NTSC-U, USA, SF8E01
Tested as Single player
Latest development build used: 4.0-9392.
Confirmed working on 4.0-9267. Freezes since 4.0-9269.

So far the issue only occured in World 1-5 Canopy Cannons. I am still on World 1, so I do not know if this issue occurs on later levels. No AR / Gecko codes were used. When collecting the puzzle piece in the 30 seconds minigame (where you have to collect all banana's and coins by shooting through barrels) or when completing the level through the finish barrel. Donkey Kong performs a victory animation scene after the minigame and completing the level, at the end of that animation scene (which shows your obtained collectables) the game freezes.

It is expected that a translation back to the stage or stage selection is preformed, which happens through another animation. This screen translation animation does not occur and the game freezes instead. No settings were changed while testing several builds. The freezing issue still occurs on the latest development build. I can confirm that 4.0-9267 works without this issue. Since 4.0-9269 and past the freeze occurs.

Screenshot in the spoiler showing the exact point of the freeze during collecting the puzzle piece from the minigame in World 1-5.

EDIT1: The issue must have started somewhere between 4.0-9257 and 9277. Still trying locate the exact build.
EDIT2: The freeze occurs since 4.0-9269. 4.0-9267 was the last build that worked without the freezing issue. 4.0-9269 seems to have changed: "Use CoreTiming for MemoryWatcher."

Low priced Emulation PC

I want to build a pc that can run dolphin at decent speeds but I can't make money easily because I am 14 and I don't want to wait 2 years to get a part time job. I know I will need an Intel processor but I want a core i series but not an i7 unless there is one for extremely cheep. I don't plan to overclock because I probably won't need it. I don't have any computers that can be upgraded because one is a laptop, one is an Intel NUC with the exact same specs and a 2014 mac mini. The mac mini probably would do great if I put windows on there but I want to keep it an OS X only machine. If there was an unofficial backend for metal then I wouldn't need to build a new computer. I know a lot about computers so you don' need to explain what everything is. I don't mind using an i3 at first but I probably will upgrade to i5 eventually. A pentium might even do the trick until I upgrade so if you know of a pentium model that can run dolphin OK than let me know. I don't need help with the motherboard, hard drive or psu. Graphics card I might be OK on because I found a GT 420 for $40 and the case I need one that will run dolphin well. (Just kidding the case I am good on but feel free to suggest some cool looking budget cases preferably micro ATX) I just need a cheap cpu and I know I won't ind an i5 in that range. I probably will have to start with a pentium and upgrade to an i5 later. Also, I am good on monitors. I have 2 great ones although I might not use them both at once unless I can have one running off integrated graphics but if the cpu doesn't have any, that is fine because I only need one. Thanks Big Grin

Why is Dolphin 3.5 faster than 4.0?

$
0
0
I know for a fact that Dolphin 3.5 is much faster than 4.0, I can run SSBB at full resolution at 60FPS with no slowdowns, but on 4.0 I get slowdowns in menus and when there is a lot of effects onscreen. I'd rather not have to change the file names of all of my custom textures to be 3.5 compatible so I specified the "/v DirectX9" option in a shortcut, but that did nothing. I can also run Twilight Princess at a stable framerate (30) with almost no slowdowns with Dolphin 3.5, but on 4.0 the framerate goes down to 9. What did you change in the code that caused this slowdown?

DolphinBar getting hot?

$

Hi there,

I've got the official DolphinBar from Mayflash. The bar itself works fine expect for this: When playing via Dolphin the right and left side of the bar gets quite hot. I think this is due to the IR lights. Touchable, of course, but not comparable to the original Nintendo bar which always stays cool (more or less).

Is this a normal behavior of the DolphinBar? It doesn't bothers me that much, but I think these high temps may be bad for the life of the IR LEDs?

I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit and tried to install the most recent build of Dolphin (version 4.0-9399) - dolphin-master-4.0-9399-x64 and got the following error:

"the program can't start because MSVCP140.dll is missing from your computer"

as outlined in THIS Reddit post, it was said that I needed to install the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages however after installing this, and rebooting I am getting the same error.


Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Launching a game from system menu doesnt load custom textures

$

Booting Brawl from the System Menu (tools -> load Wii system menu 513E) does not load custom textures. I noticed this while playing around with the Homebrew channel. On the Dolphin wiki it is stated that the emulator can replace the Homebrew Channel - not entirely true. There are a lot of applets that require Homebrew channel, like one that skins the system UI, SuperTux, Project M, etc. Also, why has the texture format been changed since 3.5? 3.5 won't load any of my newer textures.


other things I noticed
Gecko 1.9 crashes Brawl when trying to load unoffical WiiRD codes (for Krystal to replace Peach), regardless of patch methods
Homebrew Browser freezes (from dumped NAND and IOS converted to WAD), no matter what
Trying to launch any channels just returns to the Wii menu (latest release, was released little less than 12 hours ago)
When Dolphin freezes and I have to use Task Manager to close it it reverts to OpenGL (which is broken to start with, games freeze within 5 seconds)
Using DSound with Dolby decoder produces no sound
Still that annoying black box with Mario Kart regardless of suggested fixes, slow af anyway

Plankton's Robotic Revenge - Higher Res Textures

$

Hey all! A few days ago I started porting over textures from the Wii U version of Spongebob Squarepants: Plankton's Robotic Revenge to the Wii version. I've done as much as I could up to Rock Bottom, including re-texturing the characters, and it makes the game feel almost exactly like the Wii U version (if you have the controls set up right). Currently there are 73 textures replaced.

Screenshots:
Higher Res first, default second.
For better comparison, larger / better quality screenshots can be found here.



Download:
[Taken down for now. Read Comments below.]


Instructions:

1) Unzip with Winrar
2) Extract folder to Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Load\Textures
3) Make sure "Load Custom Textures" is enabled under the Advanced tab in Graphics settings



I want to do more - potentially the whole game - but Dolphin doesn't seem to be dumping everything no matter the version. There's still some textures it's not dumping, usually the backgrounds. Anybody know how I can fix this? I tried dumping the files manually, but there's only proprietary .wii files(custom archive files,  I assume). Cheers, feedback appreciated as this is my first retexture!

Hi everyone,

just a short question, may improvement proposal.
I am always using google to look for the dolphin bug tracking system.
Can you add an item in the menu bar on top of your page.

Here a screenshot of the current page:
[Image: Bildschirmfoto_2016_05_26_um_21_29_02.png]

After ...Forum, Wiki, Code an item which states Bugs or Issue Tracking would be great.
It must only be a link to your bug tracking system.

Hey guys, im new here and got a question.

I want to be able to play GC/Wii games in 1080p/60fps. Also it has to be quiet and small as possible. And of course cheap Tongue

I throwed me something together:

- Intel Core i3 6100 2x 3.70GHz So.1151 BOX

- MSI H110I PRO Intel H110 So.1151 Dual

- 2048MB Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti Strix OC

- 300 Watt be quiet! SFX Power 2 Non-Modular

- 8GB Crucial CT2K4G4DFS8213 DDR4-2133

- Silverstone Milo ML07

- Scythe Shuriken Rev.B Cooler

this will cost me about 490€

Is this a good deal? Any recommendations what i could do better?

Please give me some feedback! thank you!  Smile
