Help with Dolphin and WinZip

I don't know anything about this emulation or extracting file stuff, so please be basic with any help.

I downloaded the dolphin emulator, and I can open it (it says "Dolphin 2.0" across the top of the window). I downloaded the super smash bros. melee rom, and it told me to download 7zip, so I did. Now I have a WinZip window open that has a list of 22 "sc-ssbm.oo1"-"sc-ssbm.022" files. There is a "system information file", an "SFV file", and then just a "File" file. I can't open anything in dolphin. It says no ISOs found, and I don't know what that means except that I can't play my game. (I tried to post some pictures to help with the description, but apparently I don't know how to do that either...)

What am I suppose to do from here? Thanks for any help.

Extract the .ISO file first before running it on the emulator.

Ok, I found one problem. I had WinZip instead of 7zip. Oops... I now have 7zip, and the files I have in 7zip are "sc-ssbm.001" and "sc-ssbm.gcm". What do I do with them?

gcm files are iso files

00# files are to be extracted via 7zip just extract the first file though, all other files in the series are automaticly read and extracted

Oh, ok. Another problem. I went to open the .gcm with dolphin, and I got an error box that says, "error loading plugins/plugin_DSP_HLE.dll: can't find file". Any help with that?

And i get a few more error messages when i click "ok" in the first error box.

Update your direct x and C++ to the latest version, as well your graphic card driver.

Uhhhh..... Do what? Is there an easy way to do that or is it some complicated stuff?

google direct x downloadthen download it and run the installer it is all automated it's the same with the visual c++ fully automated just google visual c++ download click on the one hosted on microsofts web site download and run the installer.

Ok, I have downloaded both of those and I still receive the error message when trying to open the .gcm file in dolphin. Do I need to restart my computer, or re-extract the file? Or something else?

Run both of the installers, and wait until it finishes updating, then restart your computer.
After that, try running the emulator again.

Ok. Installers have been run, all updates have been completed, and computer has been restart. I try to open the .gcm file in dolphin and I get these error messages "error loading plugins/plugin_DSP_HLE.dll:can't find file", "can't init DSP plugin", "couldnt init the core. Check your configuration". They appear in that order after I click "ok" on them.

That's weird, the emulator should be able to run without any issues IF both of your direct x and C++ has been updated, can you try 3.0 version instead?

I downloaded the Direct-x and C++ from those links you posted, so I assume they are up-to-date... Im willing to try. Is there a link to that on this website?

Check the Releases section of this site, there should be a link for 3.0.

Ok, I downloaded Version 3.204 64-bit for windows. When I double click on it in the downloads pane, it says "windows cannot open file" and some other blah blah blah. Then it tries to find a program that can open it. I told it to open the file with 7zip, and it did. So now I have a 7zip window with "license.txt, www.dolphin-emulator.com notepad, Dolphin.exe, DSPTool.exe, cg.dll, cgGL.dll, SDL.dll" files in it (after each comma is a different file.) I double clicked on "Dolphin.exe" and I get an error box saying "The program can't start because VCOMP100.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Does this mean to re-download Dolphin 3.204? Or did I mess up somewhere else?

Extract all files into a folder first, then run the "Dolphin.exe" from there.

The error you got is related to direct x and C++.. are you sure you have already update both?

i extracted all the files into a new folder. I still got the error message when I tried to run "Dolphin.exe". I downloaded them from the links that were posted, and ran both the installers. I'll do it again though (I have some program called "Microsoft visual c++ 2010 express", if that helps...)

Alright. I tried to download the Direct-X and it said that I already have a newer version installed, so I assume thats good. And I went to download the C++ link, and it said to repair the program or remove it, so I clicked repair. After thats all done, I still get that error message when I try to run Dolphin.exe from the folder...

Wait, which OS did you use? I assume it was x64 since you're using the x64 version of the emulator..
If yes, then you have to download this version of C++.

Restart after that, and hopefully that may fix the problem.

Ok, that fixed the error box messages. Now I can open "dolphin 3.0-2.04-dirty" (thats what it says across the top of the window). And when I try to open the .gcm file I get another window pop up that says "AMD Phenom(tm) II N640 Dual Core Processor. AuthenticAMD, 2 cores, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, 64-bit support. *Folder I extracted the .gcm file to*. Clearing code cache. Dolphin Direct3D9 Video Backend. Clearing code cache."

When I Encounter Problems Like Missing .DLL Files, Don't you think it would be kinda a no brainer to just download that said .dll and place it in the folder it's SUPPOSED to be in? Well, What i Think Is Different From What you Guys Think.... aperantly...

EDIT: you should always be sure to state your os version, And which version of the emu. that you downloaded, lol.

That would be the worst thing you can do and can mess your system up to some extent the best thing you can do is install the the driver packs correctly as it's not just files but also includes reg entries and other linked dll files and software, usually they are part of C++ and or DotNet packs both are free aswell
