Black screen on startup

08-31-2015, 04:40 AM #1

I have been using many version of dolphin and they have all worked perfectly but I tried starting a netplay game with somebody who was playing on a Mac and since then, I can't play Super Smash Bros. Melee on any version of dolphin. Everytime I try to start the game ( Singleplayer or Netplay), there's just a black screen and nothing happens. It was working the same day before I tried playing with that person... and they got the same problem too I think. I tried with a different iso of the game and it still doesn't work. I tried 5 different versions of dolphin and even the latest didn't work. Anybody has any solution? Sad

Edit : Nevermind, somebody found the solution for me. Had to delete Dolphin Emulator folder in Documents.

uh...that's a bad thing to do. unless it regenerates on its own, you just deleted the place all of your settings, saves, and other important things go

Yeah, something tells me that person may not have been giving genuine advice.

i would suggest a reinstall of dolphin, then it'll for sure regenerate the Dolphin Emulator folder

No. The Dolphin Emulator folder is separate from the install.
