Who should read this guide?

This guide should serve as a quick pointer for first time Dolphin user.

A couple of things you should know about Dolphin:
  • Previously Dolphin had used the subversion numbering, e.g. Dolphin r7990. In the recent months the developer had switched to git numbering, resulting in a release name such as Dolphin 3.0-458. Higher number means latest version.
  • You might find that some games are playable on a certain version, yet unplayable with the subsequent/later versions. So always choose the best version to play the games. For example, Rhythm Heaven Fever will only playble on older version of Dolphin.
  • There are a couple of games that require a customized or patched Dolphin version to play properly. E.g. Xenoblade Chronicles.
  • To check whether a game is compatible to play in Dolphin, check out their Wiki for a list of compatible Wii games. This list will also contains the issue that the games are having and workarounds for fixing it.

Bandicam - A competitive game video capture software

Many have complaint that the crack for the latest version of Bandicam (v1.7.5 onwards) didn't work as expected. Or if it had somehow worked but the watermark is still present in the recorded video even after applying the crack. So I had decided to upload the one that I had used and really does work.


Although the version that I uploaded is from the older version (v1.7.1.133), but I couldn't see any major changes when compared to the latest version. At least the video doesn't have the watermark on it after crack.

Differences

Theme / Background Setting

FF3: The central theme behind Fatal Frame 3 is the old japanese kind of shrine and wooden manor. You will find yourself exploring these buildings in your dream.

FF4: Unlike the third series that took place in traditional and typical shrine, this latest series took place in a more modern setting where we are most probably born - Hospital.
