    I have downloaded Super Mario Sunshine a while ago, but it doesnt work on all my emulators! i don't want to try dolphin, because i don't know if my PC is 64 or 32 bit... I have these emu's: GCube, Dolwin, DCemu (that doesnt work on my whole PC...) and WhineCube...

    Heres how to get Dolphin working, download both the 64 and 32 bit versions(its cheap but it works:p) Thats how I got my copy working. Then simply delete the one thats doesn't work.

    Download both the 64 and 32 bit versions here:http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/gamecube/dolphin.html

    Or if you have the box to your OS lying around somewhere it should say if the OS is 64 or 32 bit on that to.

    Hope it Helps ;)

    If your computer is older than one year, it is very likely a 32bit OS. If your computer has Windows XP or lower, it's very likely 32bit.

    I do now know, it says by the 64 bit: It is no legal Win32 application. (Of course: translated...)

    I guess you have a 32 bit system. Go to start -> control panel -> System, and windows will show you what kind of system you use. (If you use windows^^)

    it's 32 bit...

    But the ram (1.80) is kinda weak...

    At best you get the same speed of emulation I get.


    Sorry dude :(

    Is it a good PC? Or is it an old piece of crap?

    The ram isn't the issue, Dolphin does not need oodles of the stuff, nor does that OS. The issue is your processor is a budget model (single core 32bit, less cache), not fast enough for GC Emulation I'm afraid.

    You'll also need a relatively decent graphics card, Pixel Shader 2.0 support or above at a minimum (doesn't need to be the latest and greatest).

    32bit version of Dolphin will likely never run that well, 64bit is where it's at.

    It's not good enough to run gamecube games full speed.

    Mine fails to play past 15fps-most gamecube games need 60 to be smooth-30 is minimal.

    Sure I can run resident evil 5-but that's with everything off-emulation requires eveything a pc can use.

    Your out of luck little dude-one tip-burn the gamecube game and play it on your wii-if your wii is modded it should be able to accept gamecube games-burnt ones.

    Full sized dvd's work fine-dvd+ works best.

    Yeah I remembered you had a modified wii-it should work :)

    Use img burn program and the lowest speed :)

    And in the beginning it is 30fps, maybe my dad's new PC can run them... It is from an other one, so i dnt know...

    But the wii...makes sence seeing as they are not dvd disc but optical media disc.

    I thought you had the homebrew channel?

    It's already been soft modded then...
