BLACK SCREEN with Sound All games.

omnix32 · 08-19-2009, 04:19 AM #1

I am stumped on this one.

Reinstalled new Nvida drivers.
Updated directX 10 was fully up to date anyway.

Dolphin was Working fine yesterday.

All other games work, Including PCSX2

Furmark 1.6.5 openGL 3.0 test did pretty good with avg frames 61 FPS, High 85.

Vista 64 intel Quad 9550 (Unclocked) nvida Asus 9800 GTX+

I deleted all my config files in Dolphin and started fresh. Nothing.

I downloaded some different builds. Nothing but black screen and sound.

I get a black screen with sound. Controller responds but no graphics (Picture) I have tried several builds. This happened when I dropped Zelda 4 swords in to test it. I am not sure it's related. All other games on my PC work.

Dolphin displays no error messages.

Any Ideas to point me in the right direction to fixing this?

Thank you.

all Dolphin Config files have been deleted. Daughter restarted the computer and everything went to low Rez. This may not be a dolphin Issue. Doing virus scan, and digging further. It could even be a heat issue. Checking everything now.

There is nothing in the config that would cause any issue. I have tried several different options in different builds.

I already posted my specs

Quad 9550 Vista 64 nvida 9800GTX+

Thanx for all the Responses everyone!!!! I'll post back once I take a few things apart and check drivers ETC....... Something could have gotten corrupted.

1) Has Dolphin every worked before?

2) What game are you using. I find Dolphin does not emulate very much that is playable. I tried the Bigs 2 but it won't even load. (Black screen and sound)

3) Did you test to make sure open GL is working on your computer?

4) You power off and back on again. This fixed my issue plus some other stuff.

Answer these questions!!! and let us know.
