Hey there Dolphin forums. I come here with a problem. I've followed many guides, from here and YouTube, and I think that I'm about ready to get this working, but the ONLY real issue I think I'm having is figuring out whether or not my graphics card is my problem. And hopefully, I'm posting on the right board. Confused

First thing to note, this is a laptop, though it seems pretty solid as it is fairly new, but I'm not sure.

Below are some pics that display, what is hopefully, the info needed to know whether or not I can run the Dolphin emulator. As far as I can tell, I have everything good EXCEPT maybe the graphics card, which came with the laptop by the way.

With this information, can someone please tell me if there are any problems with me running the Dolphin emulator?

Are you sure the graphics card that comes with the laptop doesn't mess anything up? I already have the latest the MS Visual C++ and DirectX downloads, and I just re-updated them just in case, and my one iso still doesn't work.

I have a Paper Mario 2 iso and when I double click it it, using OpenGl, as the visual plug-in, brings up a window, which first tells me that there is no joypad, which I can probably fix, and then it says it has a problem and closes. The other visual plug-in, Direct3D9, opens the window with the same no joypad thing, and then goes black and does nothing.

Does the Dolphin version I have cause this problem by chance? It's SVN R 3402 at the moment.

Also, I've looked at that link you posted before, as that is how I updated the MS Visual C++ and Direct X, but what would my graphic card be considered if it's updateable?

More specifics, please.

integrated intel gpu -> no opengl 2.0 -> you need the old directX plugin(rev 2xxx or whatever) -> buggy + slow + no fun at all.

i wouldn't even try, its most likely not worth it.

@Iulius:

That's what I was thinking too. Because it's a stupid "come with laptop" graphics card. That and it said it was Intel and not Nvidia/whatever else works. Also "[Model thats Dolphin doesn't like]
- Any Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) Chipset (These cards do not support OpenGL 2.x fully)"

I asked because I didn't know if my current graphics card was considered to be in the category of the above. =(

Is there no way to make this work at all? It seems pretty solid, except for that one thing. Can I get around that at all?

Intel graphic on-board GPUs are lame, they can't handle full OpenGL and the current Direct3D9 plugin is broken. You might as will give up, until you got a computer system that can support Dolphin.

That's what I was waiting to hear. I knew that the Intel graphics card had to be a bad thing, Dolphin-wise.

Dammit. Oh well. If the Direct3D9 every gets fixed, would this work for me, or would it be not worth it?

Well if it worked, not everything might work on since the GPU like sucks at real shading support. I know Team Fortress 2 can run that card but with low settings, so I do not know, but the plugin fails to compile the generated shaders, and no one is really into trying to fix it because some tried and no success.

What I'm concerned about is how your planning to get gamecube and wii games onto a laptop.
Isn't the only way by using a LG drive?
