emulator Dolphin v1.02 question

[hagbard]

I'd forget about playing it on PC for a couple of years, GC emulation needs too high hardware requeriments

[Chorus]

I now have Mario Kart DD and it is a RAR-file. It is 389.583 KB big. How do I open that. I know, I ask many questions, but I'm new with this

[hagbard]

Use WinRar

[Chorus]

Oke, I did that. The file's name is: mario kart dd_shrunk.gcm
But when I try to run the game, it says:
Fatal Error: failed to load ansi_font.bin
Fatal Error: failed to load sjis_font.bin

I heard you can change it to a ISO file, but how

[Chaos]

All i can think of is burn it on a cd, then make a iso of the cd (any good Cd burning program should do this)

[hagbard]

Oke, I did that. The file's name is: mario kart dd_shrunk.gcm
But when I try to run the game, it says:
Fatal Error: failed to load ansi_font.bin
Fatal Error: failed to load sjis_font.bin

I heard you can change it to a ISO file, but how

.gcm is the same than .iso. Just rename it.

To "play" on emulators you don't need to burn anything, just load it directly from the emu. Also you'll need a DVD, either 8 cm (to play on the GC), or standard 12 cm, but you need more than that to play on a GC

[Chorus]

I thought you only need the file (mario kart dd) and the emulator (dolphin). So you need to burn the file on a dvd to play it?

[hagbard]

No need to burn to try to play it on a emulator. Just run it directly on mount it with Daemon Tools

[Chorus]

I downloaded Deaon Tools but I have realy no idea what I must do. Can you put the file on a normal cd? I know, i am a n0ob

[Gigashock]

hagbard i think you made a mistake(if you haven't excuse me). dolphin doesn't run cds on drive. not even mounted on virtual drives like daemon does. only gcm and gc executables. you can't select a drive. chorus simply open gcm and select your mario kart dd shrunk file. and maybe you should enable the use of dynarec.
