Hi folks, i am having an issue. When i try to load a GC game i get a "Driver components mis-match. Exit is the only option." message. When i click OK it closes dolphin. I am using windows 7 and have tried running the running it as admin, and in compatibility mode for both Vista and XP. I have no idea what the problem is and would appriciate any help.

Looks like your Graphics card isn't supported by Dolphin.
What are your PC specs?

Your computer should be fine , even if you cpu might need a little push (OC ?)

What driver are you using ? try 182.50 whql from nvidia !

I'm using the standard windows 7 drivers, i tried the latest windows 7 drivers from nVidias site (181.71 Beta) but i kept getting BSODS so i reverted back the windows ones. Everything else seems to run fine with the normal windows drivers. The 182.50 drivers you mentioned arn't available for windows 7, but i'll give the vista ones a shot. I'll report back when i've tested them.

Thanks.

EDIT: It works, Luigi's mansion works anyway, gonna go try some other.

Thanks for all your help.

Hey, I am having the same problem. I'm trying to run Twilight Princess (GC) with the latest Dolphin on Windows 7 64bit. I am using the latest Windows 7 drivers from Nvidia. I also tried Mortal Kombat Deception to no avail.

Specs

Core 2 Duo E8300
Dual 9600 gt in SLI
8gb OCZ SLI ram
Win 7 x64 RC7100

Any Ideas? Thanks

You need to use the visa drivers. The windows 7 ones don't wok properly with dolphin.

I'm using the nVidia win7 x64 drivers with no problems...

Nvidia now has official drivers available for Windows 7, no need to use Vista drivers.

Note that I am not referring to the Nvidia drivers included in Windows 7 by default, there is now official drivers that can be downloaded from Nvidia themselves which work fine in Window 7.

I've installed them and run Dolphin without any problems on Windows 7.
