Strange thing

Bigdemon · October 9th, 2008, 18:21

Hi,
I have strange thing happen since many revision (from 1st i guess).
When i load some games (timesplitter for ex: ) it boot and work perfectly 1st time i load (up to "loading screen -> it seem hang on it

)
And when i retry to start again (emulator closed or not) -> game load [can see 1st game screen] and it's all.... :/
Or windows stay on "loading" (on top of screen,not ingame).
FPS counter are fullspeed 1st time and 0.65/2.00 at 2nd time,without i change anything

Then i wish know how i need to start and run 'normally' games :/

Just wait for a minute or two before restarting.

Try to see if the 100% cpu eating proccess happens when you are using the emulator... This happened to me today, and I couldn't play any game, because the emulator stayed in "Loading..."

I fixed it restarting the pc, but I assume that it is a virus or an spyware/adware...

wow, nice CPU speed. Strange error, if you really are doing the same thing but different results. Also Kaspersky is known to mess up Dolphin because it injects stuff into RAM of every process.

What do you mean by mess up Dolphin? I've been running Dolphin and Kaspersky since the dawn of time, and I haven't noticed anything strange.

I downloaded june2008 version but i found another just few minutes ago...
And it seem to work (arg now i'm shame because didn't think that

).
Anyway thanks

Now i check for my other problem (not always start - maybe work too now).

EDIT -> Burnout 2 not crash anymore with DX9 plugin BUT it's very slow and ugly

But for finish 1 or 2 races for continu no choice,then problem are from OGL plugin.
For the game start - i can start more often at fullspeed (and crash at any time but i guess again it's from uncompatability with emulator).
Always my 'loading' but i make it :/
Only regret for burnout support only for 3 champ :/ (maybe with another release)
Thanks for all
