Can't wait... You should include install like Dolphin.exe because it would be nice.

Hey helles thanks for your time and work. I have some question im not sure why it's some time the screen turn dark in the middle of using OGL plugin for video. And i posted a issue on google code regarding Hardware Utilization. You can see in the image it's only using 25%-30% in GPU and 38% in CPU....it's not taking any advantage in our hardware.

First of all it isn't my work - it's the work of FiRES and ector! We have to thank them endless for their time and work! I'm just hanging around while my pc does some things in background and I checked out the google code site sometimes...

To your question: Dual core mode isn't finished yet. The problem is explained in another thread as I remember:
One core does the calculation from the gc cpu, a second core from the gpu. So your third and forth core could do something like input or sound, what would be a lot of work for nearly nothing.
And that's also why your gpu isn't used that much - simply your cpu must do graphic calculations, most emulators work like that. (pcsx2 uses gpu more, or am I false?)

If I explained something wrong please correct me, I'm interested in understanding as much as i can as noob ;-)

Wrong, it's spiking (100%) your first core, and it's not able to feed enough work to the 2nd. The 38% figure is over all your cores so it's not a useful number. Look at the graph for your first core.

Anyone got the compiled revision 13. I'd do it myself cept that I only have VC++ 2005/2008 Express.

Sorry I didn't made out too clear, but using all the cores would be better right?

Thought you needed pro or something more than what express has...

Ok I know I shouldn't ask but can anyone give me a simple step by step directions for compileing. I have VS 2005 Pro and DX SDX. When I try to compile I get many errors and compiling fails.

Sure it would be better, but it can't be done. See the issue in the tracker.

lol..didn't know that. I'm like thanking the wrong guy, but anyway to what i said i think that's a lot of working in the CORE of dolphin but it's a good start from now, cuz if we get to massive games like some wii games in the future it going to help, and you're totally not wrong. CPU does calculate graphic stuffs, but it's extremely slow if the program isn't matured.

Dolphin also sucks a little GPU power, but not a lot, so it's good it won't overheat our system, especially in the summer time in PC gaming my gpu like 100C!! BURN!

Thank you for your time and effort.

note that its set to release and not debug.

i find it pointless to compile it yet but here is 32bit rev13
i can't compile 64bit versions....yet



EDIT: im compiling the 64bit version. im not sure if it'll work but ok. just a sec

I just don't understand what rev14 is for. Does it improve compilation with vs2008?

I just saw that too. I think they are just vs2008 files for 64BIT.

before you had to convert the project to compile it in VS 2k8
i dont have to anymore
there is dolphin.sln -> solution file for VS2k5
