full screen just black

regnad · 03-01-2011, 01:04 PM #1

Whenever I switch to full screen, it just goes black. The emulation is still running, and the sound is fine, it's just the display.

I searched the forum here, and couldn't find a solution.

Any ideas?

Okay, I found something in this thread: http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=11699

This describes my problem -- I can start in full screen, but I can't switch back and forth between full and window. Any switching results in a black screen.

The thread says to turn off open cl. I can't seem to find it. In advanced graphics settings, there's a box marked Enable OpenCL, but that doesn't seem to do anything either checked or unchecked, so maybe that's not it.

Settings?
Revision?
OS?
Try turning progressive scan on/off?

I'm using Win 7 with i5 CPU, Radeon HD 5470.

I have v7264 and v7270.

Turning progressive scan on and off doesn't help unfortunately.

I have an older build, SVN 6278, that doesn't do this -- it switches to full screen with no problem.

Any suggestions? Ideas? Theories?

For me it only happens to Metroid Prime 1 on new revs(7262 by Unknownforce).
To fix only try again.

I made an account just to tell this fixed it for me: go to configure>display and tick the "render to main window" box.
