Dolphin (and pcsx2 as well) doesn't work on windows 98

[junior600]

Does this gamecube emulator (dolphin 3.00) work on windows 98+kernelex 2015? I have tried to run it, but it says me that it is missing a function in "imagehlp.dll" xD You can find the file exe there

http://www.dolphin-emulator.com/download.html?rev=v30&arch=win32

I hope someone can find a solution.

Dunno which version of imagehlp.dll you have in Win98, but Dolphin 3 and 3.5 load fine for me with stock imagehlp.dll on WinME (v5.0.2178.1).

I've gotten one version of Dolphin (It was either 3.5 or 4.0, can't remember which) to "run" on Windows 98 with the standard KernelEx 4.5.2, however I couldn't run any games because my old graphics card doesn't fully support DirectX 9. If it requires some missing functions from a dll (that's not a core system dll like Kernel32.dll and friends), a lot of times I can make it work by copying the said dll from a Windows XP machine and place it in the directory of the executable. I may have had to add a few Kext stubs to make it work, but I can't remember.

 

Good luck finding Windows 9x compatible hardware that's powerful enough for Gamecube emulation!

Thanks, then I will try to replace the imagehlp.dll with a new one XD My windows 98's  config is:

amd phenom x3 8450

2 gb ram

geforce 6800 GS PCI-EXPRESS

 

I have another PC (my pc gaming) with

Intel core i5 4590

4 gb ram

geforce GTX 960 (But I can't install windows 98 in this config because of vga... There are no drivers for the nvidia gtx 960 ahah. )

 

I will tell you if the emulator works as soon as possible

Hello everyone, I have installed kernelex 2015 (jumper's version) and now I want to get dolphin emulator to work on windows 98...

I managed to run dolphin with the kernelex but now, if I try to run a game, it shows me this error (error 406d1388H)... I don't know what should I do XD This error message appears when I try to run pcsx2 too

[Mathwiz]

Do you get the same error if you run the Dolphin emulator under KernelEx 4.5.2?

 

Remember 4.5.2015.x is experimental; it is not even a beta release. So it may have some bugs that 4.5.2 does not have.

Ok I have tried with kernel 4.5.2... But it shows me the same error messagge

[jumper]

And what is the full text (not screencap) of that error message?

For dolphin-3.0-win32.exe ImportPatcher41 reports:

[Patches needed]

Dolphin.exe=Subsystem, DLLs, Functions

[imagehlp.dll]

SymGetLineFromAddr=

[DLL replacements]

VCOMP100.DLL=

XINPUT1_3.dll=

But 007b41a3 isn't a valid address in Dolphin 3.0, and now I see this error text doesn't match the original screencap, so you gave the error text for a different version! wrong error text!

(However, the opcode bytes do match so maybe I can get a headstart on the debugging while I await the correct error text....)

>(the same error message shows with pcsx2)

No it doesn'tThe error code might be the same, but the message details will differ somewhat ....Please provide that error text and a link to that app as well.

Edit: Removed some of the late-night gruff.

Sorry for the late reply... Yes, the error messagges are different xD The first one (dolphin 3.5) shows me this:

You can find the file exe at this link

But I think they can't run on windows 98 :/

Thanks. Turns out there isn't actually an error at all!

They are calling RaiseException with value 406d1388H to talk to the MS VisualStudio debugger (which they shouldn't be doing in a release version.) The exception is "continuable" meaning the debugger can process it or ignore it and then the app should continue.

The workaround is to run them in a debugger. Finesse might do.

Edit:

MSDN Blogs > Bug Babble > Naming threads in Win32 And .Net

The native method of setting the thread name is implemented by raising an SEH exception that is continued. If you go to the docs on RaiseException you'll see part of the reason for this strange mechanism. An attached native debugger will get a 'first chance' notification of the exception. Raising an exception is precisely what you need to do to get the native debugger's attention. The one raised here (0x406D1388) is recognized by VS (and WinDbg).

Just posted something and realized you pretty much summed it up in the last post. It's late and I'm tired. 

 

I wonder if there's a way to have KernelEx install an exception handler for that exception at program startup, so that it gets ignored like on later versions of Windows.

[junior600]

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for your help ;D But I have got some error messagges even with Finesse... The dolphin emulator shows me this (I have put sdl.dll in System folder, but without success xD )

 

 

And the pcsx2 emulator shows me this

 

I have launched the emulators by dropping them onto Finesse.

I love Windows 98 and all but those TV toys needs more juice.

I could go on forever about how great a ride it was until 2004/2011 where the federal governments decided to delete privacy command. Seriously just use an NT OS for the Gamecube or even PS2. Even the "Steam Box" ( a more later version of it ) is able to run those things.

Otherwise in my opinion computers are not fast enough or reasonable enough to have the portability of those machines. It is far easier and more cheaper to purchase the actual products and run off them.

The GCN is an PPC derivative and the PS2 is really SONY personal Operating System. So what I am trying to say is that you are licked on both ends. Right now the Saturn, and Dreamcast is a go. The PSX looks like God on Acid. Even the original X-box is able to run smoothly ( But most of those games are ported to XP and Vista with enhancements.
