OpenGL Beckend.

nvidia stutters on hybrid ubershaders on OpenGL and Vulkan. It should be better on D3D11.

[matheusstaffa]

It was way better with D3D11, but with minor sluthering. And has that problem with "Merluvee Next Path" (the games crashes). Is there any work around besides to not talking to her?

Hello,
i was wondering if i could get some help with this game. the dolphin i have keeps crashing at the same point every time i open the game. right as goombella is about to scream at the xnaut guy at the beginning. It happens every time without fail and I have tried many things to try and fix this (going from D3D11 to OpenGL, and other things) Nothing seems to be working and I'm not sure if it's just my computer. Any help will be appreciated!
this is the md5 checksum btw if you need it: d13426a926055be11a8330b27fe231ea

Thanks!

PS using OpenGL makes the game WAY worse, basically unplayable.

If you're using Dolphin 5.0 (the stable release) like your profile says, please try a recent development version instead. Though I have to say that crashing at that exact point isn't a problem I've heard anyone have before, so I'm not sure if updating Dolphin will fix it...

[KHg8m3r]

The Intel HD graphics on the Pentium B960 is a 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge based iGPU. You don't meet the minimum requirements for Dolphin. And since that's a mobile CPU/iGPU combo, and you're most likely using a laptop, there's nothing you can do about it beyond getting a new computer. Especially since this game uses bounding boxes.

Hello everyone! I am trying to play this game but I keep getting the same error.

I open up the game, choose save file and all of that. Intro scene happens normally. After the map is shown, it changes to the boat and the title of the game, then the screen goes white and I get these pop-ups:

After that, the game crashes.

This is my current configuration for Dolphin 5.0:

My specs are: Windows 7 x64 SP1, 2GB RAM, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5600+, Nvidia GeForce GT 240.

Does this happen in the latest dev builds?
Have you tried OpenGL? I think your GPU doesn't support certain D3D features

When I choose OpenGL, I get a popup that says that my graphic card doesn't support OpenGL.

Which is strange, because I remember that years ago I managed to emulate this game (with very low speed tho), and I swear that I used OpenGL.

At the moment I have only tried with the 5.0 version. Do you suggest trying other options?

[KHg8m3r]

Dolphin requires the DirectX 11.1 and OpenGL 4.4 feature set in a GPU. Your GT 240 only supports DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.2. This means that even if you try and use the newer dev builds, it'll fail just like 5.0 is.
The reason it used to work is that older versions of Dolphin could use lower feature sets, like D3D 9 and OpenGL 2.0.

You need to get a new GPU, at least a Nvidia 400 series or higher. You can get a GT 740 of GTX 750 for super cheap nowadays
