Dear users,

As the rest of the people i have Dolphin trouble, hope im not a hopeless cause, its about the GPU.

When i try to start a game in openGL (super smash brother melee) i get a yellow screen. Now I've seen this on the boards aswell, and people said to use Direct3D9... which apparently people say doesnt work.

So i'll give you my gpu stats and program version and hope you guys can help me out ^^

version: Dolphin SVN R3972
Gpu: Nvidia GeForce 7950 GX2 dual 512mb

I thank you in advance for taking your time to read my post,

Cheers
Secodon

Dell XPS - XPS 710
Intel dual core 2.40ghz

Nvidia Geforce 7950 GX2 512mb-dual

Try updating your drivers.

The posmtx error on DX9? Sounds like you got an old revision, download a newer revision since this error and many other issues have been fixed with the DX9 plugin. The DX9 plugin actually looks and runs great now, it's quite a bit faster than the OpenGL plugin. There are still some minor issues to fix yet, the pull star issue for Mario Galaxy being one of them.
