[fid3lcashflow22]

Hey everybody before I posted this I searched and searched but couldn't find answers anywhere
My problem began when I tried to use dolphin on my imac (snow leapord os) and I tried using a wiimote for a gamecube game (guess it doesn't work) then I bought an afterglow xbox wired gamepad doesn't work on the mac so I installed a copy of windows 7 on my comp and tried running dolphin on there after I get everything up but the isos (resident evil remake) I tried opening the isos and all I get is failed to initialize direct3d....now idk what I'm doing wrong....can someone please help???

You likely need to update your DirectX. If this link doesnt help, either post the exact error message or check the FAQ.

Did you install the video card drivers, update DirectX to the latest June 2010 release, install Visual C++ Redistributable 2010? By the way is your Windows 7 x86 or x64? If it's x64 Windows 7 you will need to install both the x86 and x64 versions of the Visual C++ Redistributable 2010.
