Can you get Vista 64?

pabkil · November 9th, 2008

No, just 32 bits (XP or Vista)

I think XP is faster on just about everything. So it shouldn't be any different with the emulator. Unless you can get Vista 64 which is supposedly very fast.

pabkil · November 9th, 2008

Okay I'll try to get the Win Vista 64-bit.
Thanks for your help.

lol wut?
I run Dolphin in Vista x64 and it seems fine...

zapper1942 · November 10th, 2008

Works for me on my copy of Vista x64 also...

Coolsvilleman · November 10th, 2008

if you have a 32-bit cpu get XP, if you have a 64-bit cpu get vista64. Simple.

True, I went through a bunch of reinstalls last night, but it was probably user error due to what I was trying to do.

If this new computer has Dual-Core , Then i would recommend Vista , recently upgraded myself and the only thing wrong is some slight compatibility issues with older hardware. But if it's a single cpu pc , best stay with Xp , Also apart from lots and lots of extra ram needed for Vista 64-bit , I see nothing worth upgrading that much for it.

All the 'Game's for windows' work fine on Vista.

using Vista x64 myself and Dolphin works like a charm and hell fast.. the only problem i had was that Wii games doesn´t boot for me and after a small re-search and debug in the code i got it working again. but it wasn´t a Vista x64 bug tho.
