Person with same problem as you...
Please report regression to the developers. It is possible they are unaware of the regression.
They seem alive to me... 200 active users in the last 15 minutes, that is probably more than THW. They also get on average 15+ commits a day (varies on time of year, it should peek now) so the project is far from dead as well.
No they are not building it from scratch. It took them nearly 10 years to get Dolphin to the state it is currently, they are not going to throw that out the window.
Look at the post dates... Tons within 24 hours.
What does that have to do with "the developers are building the next version from scratch"? As I already said, they had to change their release method because their intended one was not working. This means that a "stable" release has been delayed and that towards releases they will implement a "feature freeze" so major changes cannot be made until after the release. Nightly builds are still being rolled out daily from the latest trunk, however these may or may not be stable and may or may not have some regression.
Meaningless to me, or anyone else here. Only the developers can help you with that.
Not our problem.
Read the FAQ...
As such there are no 32bit builds anymore. All existing 32bit builds are very old (>2 years) made when they still supported 32bit operating systems. This also means that they assure a high standard of compatibility with their 64bit builds.
Again in the FAQ...
That probably has nothing to do with the migration to 64bit builds. If games stop working it is because they optimized/changed part of the emulator which the game used. This is usually the case with the graphics plugin which is probably the largest cause of game incompatibility due to how complex it is.
Well then enjoy not playing it. We certainly cannot help you any further than we already have.
They have no "AMD build". They have generic x86-64 with instruction extensions which are both supported by AMD and Intel CPUs perfectly. They also write the GPU plugins with both AMD and NVidia cards in mind, adding switches when appropriate to assure correct and portable operation. I have no issues running Xenoblade Chronicles with it on my Intel and NVidia system.
Obviously, after all they created the x86-64 instruction set which Intel then adopted.
Yes which is what you want. As your Intel processor can execute it.
Those versions are over 2 years old. A lot has changed since then, and this includes the compatibility of the game improving from orange to green as documented on the wiki page I linked to.
The game is noted to perform quite poorly due to the constant shader compilation required. The sound will mess up if below 100% speed for obvious reasons (not enough samples per second generated by the emulation).
The N64 had a 64 bit registry, all programs on the N64 operate in a 64 bit space. There is no 16 bit program for the N64. There can be 16 bit variables and operations, but that is entirely separate from a 16 bit addressing mode.
Ever since the Nintendo 64, Nintendo has used 64bit for its game consoles. There is no reason to use anything else since they all supported it in some way and it makes little difference to development anyway.
Except that is as good as being made by Nintendo seeing how close Nintendo works with their first parties.
The fact remains that the 64bit version is functionally identical or better (thanks to more development) than the 32bit version.
Not our problem, just like the emulator. Please post on their forums about any problems. If you keep failing to do so we will assume you are trolling which violates the site rules. I expect a link to your post on their forum in your next response.
This is not our problem. Please stop repeating yourself and either do the right thing and post on their forums about your problems or stop posting in this thread and accept playing it however you currently can. This is a Warcraft III support site, not a Dolphin support site. I doubt any of the developers even frequent here.
It is not a fact because there are no 32 bit versions made recently so you cannot make such a comparison (the 64 bit build at the time of the 32 bit build might have been poorly optimized). If you use an old version then you might get higher performance as a result of bad emulation. For a third time I repeat that the emulation team focus on accuracy first and foremost with optimization and speed being only a second consideration. This is the case of most emulators that are not aimed at a hand full of games for pirating reasons (some of the early emulators were).
