Hey guys I'm new to this forum I wanted to know why my dolphin emulator keeps crashing when I try to play Metroid Prime. I current have Dolphin 3.5. I'm running it on an iCore 7 processor at 2.4 Ghz with 8 gb of ram

Crashing is a sign of one of the below.

1) Over clocking not stable
2) bad drivers
3) in compatible game or using a version of dolphin that does not support it.
4) could also be computer issues; virus, heating, mal ware, ect...

First off I assume your not OC as you didnt state that.
Second I'm going to assume you computer is in working condition.
So lets start with your dolphin version... what version are you running.

Just to be certain, that is 3.5 stable and not one of the revisions? It will show 3.5-xxxxx at the top is ots a revision.

If you do have a revision try the stable download. If you are using the stable then the next step is to re dump ( or find another rom of) that game.

how do I re dump the game? If you have a legal version of the game, this is what you did to make it in the first place. If not you illegally downloaded it from the internet *I'm not here to slap your wrist for that ;) ( you need to download another rom from another location. The one you have may not be a cood copy.



where can I find the stable version?go to the download page and scroll down, look for "Stable versions" is big black letters. Why they don't put that first I don't know.
