Dolphin (SVN) discussion thread

[gamersat678]

Or could a group of enthusiasts get it to work over the next months?

If they learn Visual C++ and how the gamecube works (this usually takes a nice chunk of time).

Do you think we could see sound support soon?

No one knows. You can always just hope.

It is not cool for you saying that you hope for the release of the source code for Dolphin to the production of Gekko. I hope they are wiser not to do that.

Authors share info and Gekko has had the dolphin source for a while. So this release doesnt bring that much...

dont worry about Gekko, its not there to copy anything. But keep in mindthat when releasing your source is to show what youve done. Heck the current Dolphin release uses the dsp code from GCEmu

Some people get sound, others don't. For instance, I get only 1 second of music, but sound effects are working fine (SSBM).

Alright, I understand. I am just concern and I love what the team have done with this Dolphin. I can't wait for Official released soon. Thanks for answering my question.

The compiled binaries are from rev5 not rev6...

[RockmanForte]

Well, rev5 is unoffical binaries released. It is not offical binaries released yet.

Yeah thats the HLE kicking in. It will emulate just a few specific calls it knows. Ive got Aquaman Battle for Atlantis runnign with background music.

[Wh87]

just wondering, did they enable 4 controllers in this release or is it still limited to one ?

Hi all, im new here, i just have few questions should i be able to do all the controlling using a keyboard and a mice? it;s gamecube rpg game. and for the dual core feature...should i enable this for my quad-core cpu? and what is the frame limiter mean? FPS? So should i disable that if i have a really fast computer? BTW I uses windows xp SP3.

1: It has keyboard/Xbox360 controller support.
2: yes use dual core mode.
3: Framelimiter is used incase the games are to fast, so only use it if needed.

Hope I answered your questions

You put my reading skills\z to the test. Its cool though, your a nice person.

Chrono do you know of any reason why the core thingy isn't recognizing our changes to dual core in the 32 bit version? I'll be damned if I have to activate my 64-bit windows(just expired and stupid conexant or w/e didnt make modem drivers for 64-bit) through un-legit means. Then again I'm to lazy anyway .

When I enable Plugin_DSP_LEE plugin and load a game, error messages appear.
The first one says: Cannot load DSP Rom and then hundreds of error popup messages.

I have an x-fi fatality platinum sound card.

lol mice....
You can control the basic features of the gamecube pad on your keyboard(not sure about analog). Gamepads are not supported for this version unless you have a 360 controller(from what I gather). You should enable the dual core for your computer but at the moment it doesn't seem to work with the 32-bit svn.
You should put the frame limiter on unless it is making the game to slow.

there was a aplugin that could use others too...
/me searches for plugin

EDIT:
if you use the attached plugin you can use any contyroller (or so i think, i can use my Logitech rumblepad now)

Click on Plugins and then choose plugins.. Choose your plugins through the drop-down list. That should fix your errors.

I want to try to start up zelda but my dvd doesn't read dual-layer dvds(i think)
*CRY*.

No that doesn't work, I tried that, there are two plugins selectable:
Plugin_DSP_NULL
Plugin_DSP_LEE (dsound)

NULL = no sound at all
lee = error messages.

are there any other sound plugins?
I know this is still a work in progress, but windwaker and twilight princess run very smooth for me.

[Elite Knight]
