Hello Dolphin community!

I recently downloaded the 4.0.2 emulator and I was so excited to play SSBM, my childhood favorite! However, whenever I open the game, I get blank screens with the music playing perfectly in the background. I have tried using different versions of the emulator, (I went into the dev section and tried two other emulators). I also have tried different settings by googling the problem, none seem to work.

EDIT2: Sound, control, everything works. Except the display.

My computer specs:
Core i7 @ 2.4 GHZ
8 GB Ram
Intel HD 4600
Windows 8 x 64
EDIT: I downloaded "Dxwebsetup" and installed it.

Screenshots:
While the intro music is playing: http://tinypic.com/r/16bhq9w/8
After: http://tinypic.com/r/3460vu9/8
I go into first player mode (I just pressed Enter like four times) http://tinypic.com/r/ou8x82/8

Please help!

Try updating your graphics drivers.

The problem could also lie in your ISO file. I got black screen with Super Mario Galaxy, then I created the iso file from my disc again, twice. It took several times and iso's before Dolphin could run the game normally. Don't actually know what went wrong while creating the iso, I just saw black screen and that was it. Don't know either why it all went well the third time. I had a similar problem when playing Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii after using the ISO patcher, which was bugged. Created an iso, the program did not report any problems, but it didn't work at all.
So you could try to create an iso from your disc again, or try another output.

Hi JMC47,

I just tried updating my Graphics drivers and it says that it doesn't need to be updated.
Look in the attached picture to see.

What other possible reasons could this not work?

You have to dump your own discs (unless you and your friend co-own the game, somehow). You should download the latest revisions, these can calculate the MD5 hash for a.game (Right-click the game in Dolphin -> Properties -> Info tab or something like that). You.can verify the hash on sites like GameTDB or Redump. If the hashes don't match (yours vs theirs) you have to dump the game again.

Have you forced enabled antialiasing somewhere in your gpu driver? iirc this will break the OGL backend. If you don't know, try to use a current developer build, they'll raise en error in this case.
