The biggest benefit, however, was that doing things that would cause the game to read out-of-bounds memory would no longer crash Dolphin, and instead be handled by the game's crash handler. In testing, the performance impact of having it enabled was inconsequential, and it had the benefit of allowing Dolphin to emulate strange game bugs and crashes more accurately. With the advancements with emulating the GameCube/Wii's Memory Management Unit (MMU) in both efficiency and accuracy, we decided to indefinitely enable it full-time. The past couple of years have been a bit of an experiment. Notable Changes ¶ 5.0-11318 - Add Memory Management Unit Settings to Main GUI and Disable By Default by JosJuice ¶ From unintentionally stumbling into an Achilles's Heel of the Zen CPU architecture and tanking performance to supporting a brand new environment with Windows on ARM support, we're going to run the gamut of big features, decisions, and fixes. With that, we've got a lot to get through from the past two months. We hope this clears up any problems users were having regarding these issues. Even on updated versions of Windows, you may be missing the latest runtime as these runtimes are not distributed through Windows update for whatever reason. So just as a reminder, if you encounter MSVC or VCRUNTIME errors, install the latest 圆4 Microsoft Visual Studio runtimes from Microsoft's website ( direct link). Over the past two months, we've seen many reports of users encountering "VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found" errors and not knowing what to do. We thought there would be no issues at the time, after all, Microsoft says that VS2019 runtimes are forward and back compatible with VS2015 and VS2017, however, it turns out that is not always the case, and we definitely encountered one of the incompatible scenarios. In the last progress report, we updated our project solutions to Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2019. However, before we get into new things, we need to go over an ongoing change as we've seen some users struggling. The Progress Report has come and with it some major changes and decisions.
