Hi all. I have been following this project for a big while and I just was up to the new releases. I got several issues with the 32 bit one, and hope it doesn't bother anyone if I ask for help...

Actually I had tried the previous one, the beta 3 which required a 64 bit OS in order to get playable speeds. My system is not 64, so I didn't get good speeds. But I tried the 32 bit one recently released by Falcon4ever, and it gave me almost the same results (SSBM): good speeds in menus, but extremly slow ingame, and I tried every possible combinations in the Dolphin.ini file. Same in ZTP. By the way, even by getting the d3dx9_35 dll file the error message "Failed to load plugin Plugins/Plugin_VideoDX9.dll" still is there. Exactly the same issue when trying to load the nJoy plugin from the previous release (I tried to play with my Xbox Controller, and the PadSimple plugin does not allow me). Without mentioning that when trying to stop the emulation or close the program from the main menus, it always freezes and crashes.

Also here (http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=44944), I read that with that plugin sound would work better at least in RE or SSBM, but SSBM didn't gave a bit of sound. Maybe I misunderstood?

That's all. I know they are many issues, but if anyone can help please... I have read in the forums that some people managed to get playable speeds in SSBM and some decent fps in ZTP. Maybe my specs screw?
Thanks.

yeap, that are all the trendy issues atm :D
for sound... itīs just a matter of luck. sometimes itīs there, sometimes not.
for the plugin load error, install the latest version of DX9c (released last month).
about the stop button, it happens randomly to me. depends on the game and the task itīs doing (if iīm using the controller, it tends to crash more). just force a closing and open it again.

your specs look similar to mine, and i have 25 fps on ssbm... i donīt know what to tell you there. just try to keep up with the latest version, get dolphin.ini with the best config for each game, and if you can, keep dolphin as the only running app.

The thing is that I already tried almost all what is in my hand, even re-ripping my ISO's. Maybe I'm missing something, maybe Dolphin is still working decently only in x64 systems... also what about the nJoy issue?
If there's anything else I can do for it, please help. Thanks...

The nJoy plugin still functions with Dolphin. I'm currently using it on Rev24 of the x86 version. Make sure you have SDL.dll in the main Dolphin directory, as well as the nJoy plugin in the plugins folder (obviously).

I am able to map buttons to my Saitek P2900 gamepad and everything runs ingame. However, there is some weird bug with control sticks, because pushing all the way forward (up) on either control stick results in a backwards action in the game. Pushing partially forward seems to be ok for some reason.

I have the same problem and even more as my shoulder buttons don`t seem to work unless I am carrying something like a pig(/stone too maybe?) and then they only make Link put the pig down.

(I really wish someone could fix both those errors)

Oh yea, you can also put the sdl.dll in the system32 folder of windows directory, to not have to put it into every folder of different revisions(if you have them).

EDIT: I`m using a Dual Shock 2 on a usb converter from Technology Innovation (double vibration controller)

Rev24? So are there some more builds other than Falcon4ever's or Chrono Archangel's? Are they beta versions just like PCSX2? I first checked out the Google Code site before asking this...
Sorry if I seem confused, although my main issue is the speed one.

Why do you ask the same question at emutalk's forum too ? oO
