Where to get a Gamecube/Wii Emulator and games + Troubleshooting & Gameplay

Here is the link to download Dolphin from emulator zone. There is a 32 and 64 bit version, so download the one appropriate for your computer.

Here is uTorrent in case you don't already have it (only needed for downloading games from torrent sites)

If you get the "VCOMP100.dll was not found" error, download DirectX

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=35

Also be sure you install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package

32 bit: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/confirmation.aspx?id=5555
64 bit: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=14632

Installing DirectX from the link above should also fix the "XINPUT1_3.dll was not found" error.

For reference, my computer specs are:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
i5-2500 Quad Core CPU
8 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5670
500 GB HD

Feel free to post your specs and performance.

THANKS! this vedio was verry helpful on getting my Dolphin working, no one other than this vedio instructed me to download C++. I am trying to get Zelda the Wind Waker game working, but after i downloaded the game, all i got are bunch of RARs. and i drag it in the Dolphin, but it wont work. Am i doing something wrong? Please help me.

@razberryboyz

Make sure you have WinRAR installed, Google to find that if you don't.

Select all of the part files, then right click and click on extract. This should take all of the part files, and put them into a single file you can use in Dolphin.

Hi!

First of all, thank you very much for posting this tutorial! I did everything like you said and dolphin works. However, when I try to run a game it gives me this message: "Connect the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to the Wii MotionPlus accessory. Next, wait a few moments without touching the Control Stick." I set it to "Emulated Wiimote" and tried configuring it with both mouse/keyboard and a Logitech gamepad, but I always get this message.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks!
